Saint Asonia

In the wake of their 2015 self-titled debut, Saint Asonia, which features former Three Days Grace rocker Adam Gontier [vocals, guitar], Staind's Mike Mushok [lead guitar], Cale Gontier [bass], and Cody Watkins [drums], was christened “Best New Artist” at the Loudwire Music Awards. Their 2019 follow-up, "Flawed Design", yielded the blockbuster single “The Hunted” [feat. Sully Erna of Godsmack], generating over 15 million Spotify streams.

Now the band is finding power and strength on their 2022 EP "Introvert" on Spinefarm Records. “The title was fitting with the way the songs were written,” observes Adam. “We wrote and recorded individually. It’s a weird situation to make a record and not be in the same room as your band. I felt like an Introvert when I was working on these songs.” They recorded with producer Anton Delost [Cleopatrick, Seaway, Hollow Coves] outside of Toronto. 

They are introducing the new EP with the single “Above It All.” Adam declares, “It’s time to take a stand and save our lives. It’s the first one I actually wrote. I wrote it about standing up and paying attention to what you’re told to do as a society and then making your own decisions. You’re not necessarily acting or reacting as people want you to. We’re all told so many things about what’s right or wrong. There was a lot of misinformation. ‘Above It All’ is about making the right decision for yourself.”

In the end, Saint Asonia connect closer than ever on "Introvert." “This band means a lot to me,” says Adam. “It’s been an incredible outlet, and it’s become a family. I love the guys and the freedom we have to create. I couldn’t ask for a better situation. I hope people dig it and love the music. If you relate to it and drive down the road blasting it, that’s the most I could ask for."
