Brave Saint Saturn is an
astro-rock/
space pop side project of the popular
Christian ska band
Five Iron Frenzy. It is made up of
Reese Roper (Vocals, Guitar),
Dennis Culp (Guitar, Vocals), and
Keith Hoerig (Bass). Resse started the band in
1995 to play songs that were considered too dark for Five Iron Frenzy. They released their
debut album,
So Far From Home, on
June 20, 2000 on
5 Minute Walk records.
"Even though loss, alienation, loneliness, numbness and pain are reccurent themes throughout the album,
they are not dark for darkness’ sake alone.
'I’ve tried to show the redemption and peace of God through tragic things,' elaborates Roper.
"I think overall the lyrics are about... hope.'"
