Armored Saint is also proud to be joining legendary New Wave of British Heavy Metal stalwarts Saxon for a few select, high profile shows across the country from May 12th through May 30th. John Bush (vocals) states: “When we began talking about a new record I told Joey Vera (bass) to pretend we were a really huge band & that we could do anything we wanted. At least that was the mindset we should have, from the writing to the production. What came out was Win Hands Down, which is our first record in five years. There’s everything from classic Armored Saint rocker songs to epic songs and we all dug deep deliver something special. If we weren’t going to, then we shouldn’t have bothered. I’m glad we did.” Joey Vera (bass/vocals): “We’re very excited about our new record coming out in June! We’ve been writing over the past year and half and we feel like we’ve written some amazing music. We can’t wait to share it.”
