Spinefarm

Saint Agnes is a band that formed in 2014 when Jon Tufnell discovered Kitty Arabella Austen playing with her other band. After convincing Kitty to join forces, the duo began creating music together and eventually decided to perform live. They recruited Ben Chernett and Andy Head to complete the lineup, and Saint Agnes embarked on their musical journey.
Their unique style draws inspiration from witches, B-movies, Satan, leather, cowboys, and UFOs. With their captivating sound and mysterious aesthetic, they create an enchanting atmosphere that will leave you spellbound.
Join this coven of talented musicians as they take you on a thrilling musical adventure. But be warned - they want your kidneys!

Spinefarm is a Finnish record label that was founded in 1990 by Riku Pääkkönen. Originally starting as a mailorder and distribution company for rock and metal releases, Spinefarm quickly expanded to release albums from Finnish metal bands. In 2002, Spinefarm became part of Universal Music when Universal Music Oy became the majority shareholder of Spin-Farm Oy, the record company that runs Spinefarm. In 2005, Universal bought the entire company and merged it with Universal Music Oy on December 31st, 2014.

Although founder Riku Pääkkönen left the company in 2011, he continued working on [l532289], a sub-label of Spinefarm. With two regional offices outside of Finland - Spinefarm UK in London and Spinefarm US in New York - they cover other territories through Caroline/Universal Music or local distribution partners.

Known for their expertise in distribution, Spinefarm has been credited under their name for various releases. With their rich history and strong ties to the metal music scene, Spinefarm remains an influential force within the industry.

If there’s a single word to define Saint Agnes, it’s committed. Two words? Fully committed.

Hailing from the UK, this four-strong outfit are all about honest lyrics, raw vocal performances (delivered by frontperson, Kitty A. Austen), plus rage-fuelled music intended to give a voice to those closer to the fringe than the centre. 

More gang than band, Saint Agnes (Roman martyr, patron saint of a number of things, including girls) seek to empower those who’ve been battered and bruised yet refuse to lie down, and it’s a thread that runs deep within Bloodsuckers&nbsp;– SA’s second studio album and their first for Spinefarm.

From the title track (also lead single / video) onwards, this is a genre-jumping body of work, taking in elements of metal, punk, industrial and grunge, without being bound by any specific style; the 11 tracks here come straight from the source, largely self-produced and mixed (NIN collaborator Sean Bevan lends his mixing skills to future single / video, ‘Follow You’), and this self-contained approach provides an extra emotional weight throughout, with Kerrang! cover star Mimi Barks further fuelling the chaos on the short, sharp shock that is ‘Body Bag’.

 Concludes Kitty: “This is a record for the outsider, the defeated, the crushed. We might be broken, but that doesn’t mean that we’re not whole. Bloodsuckers forever, Saint Agnes forever.”
