The Saints - the Brisbane band who jump-started the punk movement in Australia with their hot-wired debut single (I'm) Stranded - have announced a national tour in November with a new five-piece lineup, more than 50 years after their rough beginnings.

Joining founding guitarist Ed Kuepper and drummer Ivor Hay will be singer Mark Arm, from the Seattle band Mudhoney. Arm replaces the original singer and primary lyricist, Chris Bailey, who died in April 2022.
