Have you ever found yourself craving a song that just begs you to roll down the windows, let the wind rush through your hair, and belt out the lyrics with unbridled energy and raw emotion?

Saint Social’s newest single, “Swagger,” gives listeners feelings of absolute bliss due to the dynamic instrumentation, inspirational lyrics, and entranced with Quinn Erwin’s alt-rock vocals. “Swagger’ is the ultimate song to sing in the car to feel more empowered about themselves. 

“‘Swagger’ is a comeback song for someone who has been “through it.”  I just imagine this person who has gotten beaten down getting back up again and looking in the mirror with a deeper sense of confidence afterward…like an “I’m not going out like that” type of attitude…like a “I’m coming back better than ever.”  There’s a reason the chorus goes “sharp as a dagger…I’ve got that swagger!”  It’s a layered lyric, as is the rest of the song, to point to that struggle not to give up but to fight back with joy and style.  I always think of that moment in Staying Alive when Travolta’s character feels like “struttin'” at the end.  This is that…after feeling like you lost it all.  It’s an underdog anthem. – Quinn Erwin

Saint Social, an alt-rock band hailing from the Gulf Coast, is the culmination of a longstanding friendship between Quinn Erwin, Bryan Bourque, Justin Gollott, and recent addition Ben Lowrimore. Despite spanning cities across a four-hour radius from the Mississippi Gulf Coast to the Florida panhandle and Birmingham, Alabama, their commitment to both friendship and music remains constant. Culminating in a fusion of rock influences ranging from The Killers to Coldplay, Saint Social also draws inspiration from Southern culture, art, and poetry.
