Forever and always pushing forward into the unknown, (The) Saint Alvia (Cartel) are back exploring musical boundaries with their new album “Static Psalms” (January 2013). Maintaining the spirit of bands like The Clash and The Band, with influences ranging from 20′s era blues to modern lo-fi, these 2 time Juno nominees are back!  Alvia’s dirty, hook laded sound successfully draws on classic blues mixed with a DC post punk vibe while invoking a mod flare and rhythm that is unmistakably new and fresh. Three years have passed since Saint Alvia released a full length and they return with their finest body of work to date. “Static Psalms” is a 13 track nonstop party, filled with sing along anthems leaving listeners no option but to join in.
