From Austin to Norther: Shane Smith and The Saints

“Shane Smith and The Saints” formed in 2011 when Shane Smith moved to Austin, Texas and met fiddle player Bennett Brown. They began playing shows in Austin and soon connected with the rest of the band. In 2013 they released their debut album, Coast, followed by Geronimo (2015) and Hail Mary (2019).

Shane Smith and The Saints have built a reputation with an unrelenting work ethic and a very busy touring schedule playing in a variety of places, from dives and honky-tonks to major venues, peaking at 240 shows in a single year. The band’s music has been featured regularly on the American prime time television soap opera Yellowstone.

They’ve just released their first new album in nearly five years. The 13-song collection, called Norther, features a mix of genres including rock, country, folk and Americana. This wide-ranging approach traces back to the tastes and backgrounds of the five band members.

In one of the album’s singles, the narrator reminisces on a past romance and desperately laments the situation in which he finds himself in the present. “Adeline” by Shane Smith and The Saints is new this week on RadiJohan.

When All Appears Lost, Go Dancing!

“Shed Seven” are an English alternative rock band formed in York in 1990. At the height of their popularity between 1994 and 1999 they had fifteen Top 40 singles and four Top 20 albums in the UK. Their latest album, A Matter of Time, was released on 5 January 2024 and became the first number one album in their career.

Already a fan favourite from the band’s recent sold-out shows, “Let’s Go Dancing” is the latest single to be released off the chart topping album. The song is a plea for one final chance when all appears to be lost, a message of hope at a time when the odds seem stacked against you.

“Let’s Go Dancing” by Shed Seven is new this week on RadiJohan.
