Ed Kuepper and Mudhoney’s Mark Arm from The Saints ’73-’78 discuss the new (I’m) Stranded box set, how they’d never ever met in person (at the time we recorded this), why Mark was asked to sing in the Saints and what the band has meant to him, how the Saints got started and their early interest in Elvis, Beatles, and the Rolling Stones, why AC/DC and their success in Australia didn’t much motivate the Saints, how Mark first heard the Saints and whether or not they’re unheralded, why Ed and Mark’s music strikes a good balance between aggression and humour, what’s special about this box set, an Ed and Jim White collaboration, what’s next for the Saints and Mudhoney, tour dates, other future plans, and much more.
