  • Bio

    The Sons formed a while ago in Derby, England. Bringing together a diverse range of individual talents such as magic, fork lift truck driving, going down a hill on a bike, playing guitars and drums and that, they banged away in a variety of sheds, units and finally studios. .... The band have concentrated on developing their live performances over the past 3 years, to the point where they reckon they could take on just about anyone. They have played with Nine Black Alps, 10,000 Things, Gabriella Cilmi, Atomic Kitten and Ian Brown (oh, and the little dancing fella who won that daft English talent show) in most of the major cities in England. The band point out that the fact that most of these bands are now fortunately deceased or rightly forgotten is no coincidence. .... After spending a year freezing and sweating in the rehearsal room and then studio they arrived at the wonderful "Visiting Hours". .... Taking it's lead from classic pop music from then to now, the music is unashamedly song based, with desolate scenes and dark characters painted in colorful music and melody. .... With the recent addition to the ranks of Steven Herron (front man Paul's younger sibling) the live show manages to capture and enhance the full sound of the "Visiting Hours" experience and the band are now set to conquer European hearts and ears in 2009. .... .. ............ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

    Clever arrangements, psychedelic basics, highly infectious sound. Well done! [ROLLING STONE] .... The Kinks, early David Bowie … not only fanastic songwriting but also intelligent and nicely sarcastic lyrics – a band for all ages!" [NOTES] .... "Kids with Knives" is a radio hit single! [Uncle Sallys Magazine] .... „...Editors and Bloc Party trippin.. thru the countryside..." [ROTE RAUPE] .... somewhere between Oasis, The Beatles and Mr.Bean [BREMEN4YOU] .... A band with potential [inmusic]

    Hey The Sons !
    At the begining I was thinking with the picture ... another band fond of The Jam... what a mistake... I can hear you love Paul Weller but you get a different way.
    "Beside the Sea" talk to us... I can feel a lil' touch of the best "Pet Sound" sound...
    Happy to know you.
    Respect
    Your sunny friendz
