Patron Saint Of Plagues Q&A


Band name: 
Patron Saint Of Plagues.

Where are you from? 
Ottawa, ON, Canada.

Who is in the band? 
Opi Saint (vocals, guitar, songwriter), Deadboy (guitar), Robbie Graves (bass) and Bonez (drums).

How would you describe yourselves?
PSOP is a Horror Rock group known for their spooky image, high energy stage show, and for telling "Scary Tales". Listener beware, you're in for a scare!

Who are your main influences musically? 
The Misfits, Rob Zombie, Murderdolls, Alice Cooper, Wednesday 13, Marilyn Manson, KISS.

What do you hope to achieve in music? 
Success in the world-wide market including international touring and radio play. Also to have a song featured in a Tim Burton film.

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why? 
In the summer of 2012 PSOP received the MuchFACT Viral Video award, for which they were awarded with a professional music video. The music video was shot in the Hi-Jail/Hostel which is the most haunted building in Ontario.

And what’s the moment you want to forget? 
While touring PSOP has been locked out of campsites, kicked out of hotel rooms, slept in venues, worked with unprofessional promoters, broken equipment, and have dealt with the police on more than one occasion. Despite all of these events, even the lowest moments in the groups career could never be forgotten because they are all part of what has shaped these rock and roll fiends!

If you could choose one of your songs as an advert for your music, what would it be and why? 
Betelgeuse - this song contains the erratic energy the group is known to bring on stage, as well as the story telling aspects of their songwritting. The song is aggressive and catchy, which is what the band strives for in their sound.
