San Diego-based Alternative Rock four-piece Los Saints have returned with “Never Said,” the second single off the band’s upcoming debut LP Certified, due out July 26, 2024 on ENCI Record. Additionally, Los Saints have revealed a music video for the album’s first single “Faded”.

Of the single “Never Said,” guitarist/vocalist Angel Mariscal says:

I like to dedicate this song to everybody who’s had the entire tinder experience. There, you get the good, the bad, and yeah pretty much just those but also, sometimes you get the great, for those people that end up with the great. I remember when I first got into the dating scene I was a fresh high school graduate and it was an experience, idk what kind but you know, life lessons, confusion (yes that’s a call back to our EP) and more life lessons. Basically, the first verse is pre-Tinder, second verse is post, and some, because the app isn’t exclusive to bad experiences, BUT, it might happen if you go on it looking for more than. You know? You know. Right? Shouts out to Emiliano for coming up to that addicting guitar thing in the chorus.’

Co-founded by cousins Angel Mariscal (vocals, guitar) and Emiliano Garcia (drums) as well as Gianluca Exposito (guitar), who has since parted ways with the band, Los Saints has since expanded.

Angel Mariscal adds:

Los Saints isn’t just a band for me. It’s everything. It’s all I can do. That goes for the other guys too. The more we know ourselves, the more we know what our band is and are able to define our sound. Certified is who we are not just as musicians, but as people.

Following the recording of Certified, Los Saints has grown into a four-piece, with the addition of new members, Greg Ortega (bass) and Jorge Vazquez (lead guitarist).
