There are multiple bands/acts with this name: 1) The Saints was a punk-rock band formed in 1974 in Brisbane, Australia. Their musical inspiration came from sources as diverse as 1950s rock 'n' roll and 1960s Detroit punk band The Stooges.

In mid-1977 the band moved to the UK, where it became apparent that they and their label had different ideas as to how they should be marketed.
