Revolution Saints is an American supergroup conceptualized by Frontiers Records president Serafino Perugino, and formed by Jack Blades of Night Ranger; Deen Castronovo of Journey; and Doug Aldrich of Whitesnake and Dio.

The band collaborates from the beginning with Italian multi-instrumentalist Alessandro Del Vecchio (Silent Force, Hardline) as producer, sound engineer, keyboardist and songwriter.[1]

Their self-titled debut album was released on February 24, 2015.[2] Their second album, Light in the Dark, was released on October 13, 2017.[3] The album was ranked #8 on Dr. Music's 2017 "Album of the Year" list.[4]

On November 20, 2019, their third album called Rise was revealed. It was released on January 24, 2020.

In 2022 Blades and Aldrich[5] left the band, and Joel Hoekstra and Jeff Pilson joined. The new lineup released a single, "Eagle Flight", on November 28, 2022 and announced a new studio album with the same name will be released in the first half of 2023.[6] Subsequently on January 6, 2023 they released an official music video for the new single, "Need Each Other".[7]
