Saint Tragedy Signs With Rock Sun Records/Virgin Music Group
New EP Vanquish Vol. 2 Set to Release July 25 Rock Sun Records, in partnership with Virgin Music Group, is proud to announce the newest addition to its expanding roster— Saint Tragedy, the hard-hitting rock outfit hailing from Kenosha, Wisconsin. With a reputation for emotionally-charged live performances and a sound that fuses modern rock grit with classic influence, the band is preparing to unleash their new EP Vanquish Vol. 2 on July 25. Formed in 2008 by frontman Wayne Wiginton, Saint Tragedy has spent the last decade-plus forging a sound uniquely their own. Blending passion, fire, and a no-holds-barred stage presence, the band—featuring Sid Serbedzija (lead guitar), Eric Serbedzija (bass), and Michael Quinn (drums) —has steadily built a name for themselves in the Midwest and beyond, opening for national acts and cultivating a fiercely loyal fanbase along the way. The signing marks a pivotal chapter in the band's journey. 'It's about pure, raw honesty,' says Wiginton. 'When we go up there, it's like you forget about the real world for a moment and just leave it all on the stage.' Vanquish Vol. 2 is the follow-up to their previous release, continuing the sonic evolution of Saint Tragedy's sound—one that walks the line between raw emotion and refined musicianship. The EP promises a powerful dose of modern hard rock with heartfelt lyrics and thunderous energy, showcasing the band's growth while staying true to their roots. 'We couldn't be more excited to welcome Saint Tragedy to the Rock Sun family,' says Rock Sun founder Tom Hooks. 'They represent everything we love about rock music—authenticity, passion, and an undeniable presence on and off the stage.' With the release of Vanquish Vol. 2 on the horizon and the full force of Rock Sun Records and Virgin Music Group behind them, Saint Tragedy is poised to bring their sound to an even larger audience. Get ready to feel the fire— Vanquish Vol. 2 arrives July 25. Pre-Save at:

Your daily horoscope: June 21, 2025
The No. 1 thing you need to focus on this year is going after a single goal at a time. The more your mind is full of plans and schemes the less progress you are likely to make, so live in the moment and let the universe guide you. A family dispute of some kind can be resolved quite easily this weekend but you do need to be conscious of other people's feelings. You have a tendency to say things that sensitive types find a bit hurtful, though of course you don't mean it. You will be called on to sort out a quarrel between friends that has nothing to do with you personally. Although you may be tempted to favor one side over the other you must remain rigidly impartial. Don't jeopardize your reputation for fairness. The sun's move into the financial area of your chart today means you need to devote more attention to a money matter of some kind. If you leave it for other people to sort out you may end up paying more than if you had done it yourself. Forget about everything that went before and focus entirely on what your next big move is going to be. The sun's entry into your birth sign this weekend means you are perfectly placed to make a new start on every important level you can think of. You may be something of a human dynamo but as the sun moves into the most sensitive area of your chart this weekend you would be wise to slow down a bit. You don't have to move faster than everyone else – at least not all the time. The sun is now joining Mercury and Jupiter in the friendship area of your chart, so don't sit at home by yourself. Get out into the world and meet the kind of people who make you glad to be alive. They'll be just as glad to see you. As the sun moves into the career area of your chart this weekend you can and you must set yourself targets that challenge you on the work front. If you think you are better than your rivals then now is the perfect time to prove it. A more inspiring phase is now under way and you will find no end of opportunities to express yourself over the next few weeks. Don't hold back because you fear your ideas might upset other people – in fact, make that your No. 1 aim! Life may be a serious business but don't react to events in the world around you as if all is doom and destruction. People who think like that are best avoided while you go out of your way to show them there is much to enjoy and be joyful about. Your focus now must be on getting important relationships back on track. Some of them have been so beset by gloom and doom in recent weeks that you may even have considered giving up on them. What happens next will convince you that isn't necessary. By all means express your point of view this weekend but don't expect too many people to agree with you. According to the planets you are very much in the minority at the moment, so make sure you can back up your opinions with undeniable facts. Life is about to get hectic in the nicest possible way. Over the next few weeks there will be no end of opportunities to show the world what you can do and you certainly won't hold back. Act at all times as if success is your birthright.
