In the band practice room at his parents’ house in Parkland, Florida, Chained Saint guitarist Ethan Kahn sits in front of a wall of rock posters. “There was just something about that form of music that I loved,” says Kahn, who formed Chained Saint in 2022 with three high school classmates. In turn, Chained Saint have been inspired by hardcore outfits including Sunami from the Bay Area and Drain from Santa Cruz, California. “If I’m a little late to first period in the morning because I had to do an interview or something, my teachers are pretty lenient with me,” Kahn says. There’s a lot of new things on the horizon for Chained Saint.”
