New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - "Wrap It Up," Saint Bernadette's second single from the 'Word To The Lourdes' EP (out now on Exotic Recordings), is, as BUST Magazine said about the group, "Sweet as an angel and edgy as hell."
Driving drums and searing electric guitars kick off 'Wrap It Up," a charged agro-rock homage to groups like ZZ Top and AC/DC.

Taking inspiration from Dave Chappelle's infamous "Wrap it Up" box, Saint Bernadette have no patience for trash-talkers and have a simple message for them: "WRAP IT UP"
Lead singer and "Jackie-of-all-Trades" Meredith DiMenna explains the song's "edgy as hell" stance: "This was a song that came to me very quickly lyrically. There were a lot of things going on for me that I felt should have moved on, but were still lingering in unfinished limbo." The general tongue-lashing, she discloses, goes "to anyone who chooses to remain in unresolved conflict instead of moving forward."
True to being "sweet as an angel," Saint Bernadette continue to make good on their namesake's commitment to charitable works: They will play Multiple Sclerosis Society benefit shows in Connecticut and will pass around a collection plate at their upcoming New York City and Connecticut shows their during their song "He's a Collector."
All donations will go to a variety of noble causes including relief efforts for the DiMenna's family's hometown of L'Aquila, Italy, recently devastated by earthquake; New York artist Tara Meadows' forthcoming photography book focused on the homeless; and other praiseworthy endeavors.
