Alright, first off, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Saint Blonde’s hair game is seriously strong. Are they sponsored by Head & Shoulders? Highly likely. Now that our swooning over the band’s luscious locks is over… let’s talk music. The Texan quartet deliver epic energy on their newest single ‘Love Me Instead’ a classic indie band music video that gives us all the hair-pop we could ever ask for. The unrequited love theme here is emphasised by the urgent rhythms and Hunter Fitch’s gritty, passionate vocals. We especially love the retro synth work, which adds a little Nintendo 64 flair to the track. This colourful chromatic track doesn’t let up with the fiery resilience, until the band pull the plug in an abrupt ending which will no doubt having you reach for the replay button. - Hannah Thacker [Photo credit: Ashley - Highberger]
