Brave Saint Saturn is a Christian rock band formed in Denver, Colorado. The band is a side-project of former members of Five Iron Frenzy, that Reese Roper started. The band calls their music style "astro-rock." Before the band was signed, they were called Astronaut. As a result "Astronaut Versions" of several early BSS songs exist. The "Astronaut Version" of "Two-Twenty-Nine" is available on the compilation Manna 2 Go (fifty280 records). An otherwise unreleased Astronaut song, "Albatross," is also available on Green Manna (fifty280 records). Brave Saint Saturn is generally more serious than the light-hearted FIF. As the former leader of FIF, Roper found FIF too straightforward fun for expressing feelings of loneliness and abandonment. BSS is the platform for the more depressed and sad lyrics which Roper has written. He wants to show people they are not the only ones with feelings like these, and that there is hope in following Jesus. BSS often uses the vastness of "space" as a metaphor for loneliness. With this in mind, the band uses NASA-recordings and electronic samples on their first two albums. Members
Originally Verdecchio was not part of brave Saint Saturn, however he joined them just before they made their second album. Discography
