Tyburn Saints don't sound anything like saints, that's for sure. They actually sound quite like the opposite: maudit artists. Johnny Gimenez's deep, tenebrous tenor knows how to scream at us ("oh Sable"), but also how to lure us with vicious whispers or charming dark ballads ("Bells"). This is well executed dark rock that will find fans among those who rever Mr. Nick Cave's musical output.
- NYC Artists on the rise: The Deli NYC
Tyburn Saints croon and plea to the Romantic within, embodying a yearning for bygone times, they proclaiming loss, love, lust and disgust through earnest and optimistic eyes. Magical realism meets a rhythmic sensibility which crashes then simmers, providing an organic backbone that makes Tyburn Saints sound at once jarring and melodic. The band weaves together Murder Ballads, Heart Wrenching pop, Soulful punk, and psychedelic surf. The Saints are equally at home in Brooklyn or the areas surrounding Woodstock NY.
"Led by the haunting vocals & guitar of Johnny Gimenez, the rest of the multi-talented band includes: Chappy (Keys & Glockenspiel), Andrew Reed (Bass, Guitars, & Vocals), David Parmeter (Percussion). Let's just say that any
collaboration utilizing a glockenspiel is a definite must-see. NYC band with an utterly chill surf rock vibe."

Brooklyn based band Tyburn Saints started as a backroom project of Johnny Gimenez and long time collaborator "Chappy"; incorporating their love of classic cinema, old Hollywood icons, engines with hand cranks, crusted aluminum cans of pomade and, of course, time tested rock and roll.
The project became a band with the addition of Andrew Reed (bass, guitar, vocals) and David Parmeter (percussion) whose rhythmic sensibility provides the organic backbone that makes Tyburn Saints sound at once jarring and melodic; along the same lines of genre-collapsing acts like Lansing-Drieden, the band brings together punk, soul, and psychedelic surf. -The Delimagazine.com
