Southend Punk was saddened to hear of the passing of Chris Bailey, lead singer and co-founder of seminal band The Saints. The Saints wrote many classic songs, but perhaps their biggest and best will always be 'I'm Stranded', which sounds just as incendiary today as it did all those years ago.
Later songs such as 'Temple of The Lord' showed their versatility and breadth of sound, and for me a personal favourite still remains one of the most blitzkrieg covers ever, in their take on the classic 'Lipstick on Your Collar'.
R.I.P. Chris
