The First Crypto-Funded Rock 'n Roll Album

Black Heart Saints seeks to be the first rock band to fund a studio album cycle exclusively through cryptocurrency. This is a project for fans of rock music who are interested in investing into a band that has always put in 110% effort into any and all endeavors. In return for contributing, we are pleased to offer a set of unique rewards featured below.

Since forming in 2014 in Austin, Texas, Black Heart Saints has independently gone on to have Billboard-charting singles, completed self-booked tours across the United States, and has performed at dozens of festivals, biker rallies, and fairs. All without record labels, managers, or agents.

Career highlights of the band:

• #19, #21, #24 singles on Billboard Mainstream Rock Radio Charts
• 2021 launched an artist beer in partnership with Austin-based Adelbert’s Brewery
• Sturgis Motorcycle Rally (Full Throttle Saloon) 2021 & 2020 Performer
• 2020 Loop.tv Music Festival Performer (over 2 million viewers)
• Official 2020/2019/2018 South by Southwest Artist
• 2019 Austin Music Awards Winner
• Music videos featured in over 5,000+ gyms across the US and Canada
• Buffalo Trace Battle of the Bands Grand Prize Winner
• ESPN X Games Performer

Our goal is to give our fans and believers in crypto the ability to invest in a unique project. Top backers now have the opportunity to own 5% of digital mechanical royalties of this studio EP, giving the chance of profit for years to come.

The past two years have been immensely difficult with the covid pandemic cancelling many shows/tours, as well as our trailer being stolen over Christmas 2020. Despite all of the setbacks, we have persevered.

As ardent fans and creators of rock ‘n roll music, we believe this project has the potential to become a case study in how rock bands can embrace web3 technology and move forward into the future by putting the power back into the hands of creators and fans instead of traditional record label structures.
