      Inspired by 70's and 80's punk, Hanover Saints goal is to play music with heart, soul and conviction. Their songs cover a wide variety of topics including family, community, friendship, loyalty, faith, human rights, working class ethics, and solidarity. Hanover Saints have always been a band "for the people, by the people." We try to make everyone to feel welcome no matter what their differences may be in an effort to better ourselves and an attempt to achieve common ground and understanding. The stage is not only ours but yours in the true spirit of punk rock.

THE STORY SO FAR...

     Hanover Saints formed in October, 2001 in Sacramento, CA. They were started by Brian Faucett who had been collecting songs on his four track recorder. Brian asked his friends, Wyman Harrel and Justin Thomas to join the band and soon they began practicing. Hanover released their first EP on their own label, Revolution Ink Records. They quickly sent it to Facedown Records in southern California and booked a west coast tour with The Deal (Facedown) in December of 2001. After the tour wrapped up Hanover Saints were asked to join Facedown Records. They hit the studio immediately and began recording their debut album "TRUTH RINGS OUT." The album was released during the summer (2002), they added second guitarist Mark Spurgeon, and toured with label mates One-21 and The Deal for six weeks across the United States.
     Once home, Justin had to leave the band in order to finish school and Hanover pushed forward with the help of several temporary bass players. During this time they became good friends with another Sacramento band called the Whiskey Rebels (GMM Records). They released a split CD with each other and in December, 2002 they went on a West Coast tour together. In March, 2003 Hanover Saints went on a short tour of the North West and when they returned Mark decided to leave in order to pursue his career.
     It didn't take long before Hanover Saints acquired Sean and Patrick Hills who had been in another local Sacramento band. They immediately jumped into a three week U.S. tour and later that summer they went on a six week North American tour (including Canada) with their friends in Whiskey Rebels (GMM Records) and Pressure Point (GMM Records). It was at this time that an Australian label called Drug Bust Records released a limited edition seven inch for the Hanover Saints.
     When the band arrived home they hit studio to record "BLOOD, GUTS, AND GLORY" which was released in May 2004 on Facedown subsidiary, Strike First Records. The seven songs on this release demonstrated their progression as songwriters and foreshadowed even greater things to come. With a new full length album in the works, 2005 promises to be Hanover Saints most ambitious year ever.
