Saul is an American rock band from Sutherland, Iowa, formed in 2007. It was founded by brothers Blake and Zach Bedsaul who got their exposure to music early on. They began as a cover band titled "Sequoia". They then began Saul in 2007 with previous drummer Jon. In addition to the Bedsauls, SAUL's lineup includes William McIlravy (Bass Guitar/Backup Vocals) and Joe Nichols (Drums).

History

After many years of playing locally in the American Midwest, Saul spent most of 2017-2018 focused on producing its first EP, which later debuted in spring 2019 (Aeons).^[1] The album's headline track, Brother,^[2]^[3] describes loss and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with the coping process.

After exposure on the SXM Octane Test Drive (winter 2019), Brother became a regular in Octane's rotation.^[4]^[5] It was also featured as a SiriusXM Octane Accelerator as a recognized up-and-comer. The song peaked at number twenty on the Billboard 40.^[6]

Musical style, influences, and lyrical themes

Saul's musical style draws influence from Heavy metal, Hard rock, Progressive rock Alternative metal, and Nu metal. With lyrics based on personal experiences, chaotic and turbulent melodies, Saul considers early 1990s acts like Tool and Pearl Jam, as well as contemporaries such as Nothing More as sources of inspiration.
