Paytron Saint take on climate change with new cover

Paytron Saint drop release eleven of twelve for this year, this time giving us their cover of Jon Kennedy’s Suicide.

By Graeme Smith

A Belper-based rock trio, Paytron Saint have been appearing on our blog since 2022. A prolific act, we’ve shared five of their releases on these page since then, most recently posting about their single, Got Milk?, in September 2024.

The group have committed to releasing a track a month this year and their latest is a cover of Jon Kennedy’s statement on global warming, Suicide. Teaming up with JJ Lovegrove, the band give it an alt-rock twist.

Things open strongly with echoing guitar before a simmering yet urgent verse gives plenty of space to the track’s visceral lyrics. The track builds powerfully before we get some catharsis through big riffs and driving drums.

Suicide is out now and you can give it a listen below.
