Saint Celebrity Return With Remarkable New Single “True Say”
Saint Celebrity are a rising independent rock band hailing from Bristol, UK, consisting of Jon Gray (vocals and guitar), Vivek Rad (lead guitar and synth), Mikey Cirelli (drums) and Graeme Knee (bass guitar). Establishing a flourishing partnership with gold-certified producer and engineer Matt O’Grady (You Me At Six, Don Broco, Deaf Havana), Saint Celebrity are pushing the boundaries of sound and style within the independent rock world.
Only one year into their journey, the band have already played a number of sold-out headline shows and released several well-received singles, each with a unique sound within the indie rock genre. Their debut single, “Shy”, earned them Artist Of The Week on BBC Radio Bristol, and this summer they were invited into BBC Radio to play a live set for a full week, where they played an acoustic rendition of a then-unreleased track called “True Say”. Such was the positive response to the track, the band decided to record it as a full song and release it as their new single.
“True Say” (produced by Matt O’Grady) is an indie-rock-dance song about the infatuation you feel for someone in the early stages of a relationship. It’s an absolute belter of a track and surely a future festival crowd pleaser. Packed with melodic synths, pounding drums, classic punk-pop guitars and a huge memorable hook, “True Say” looks set to be another success for the band and elevate them to new heights.
Speaking further on the new release, Saint Celebrity say, “This song goes through the invincible feeling of finding your lover and best friend. You feel free and truly think you can take on the world! It’s total addiction to unity and wanting to see each other all the time. The song stems from Jon’s personal experience of finally feeling like he’d found ‘the one’.” “True Say” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms.

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
