Introducing… The Son(s)
The Son(s) are a band shrouded in mystery. Preferring to maintain their anonymity, this is as much as we can tell you about their origins:
The Son(s) were three men in a band, in Edinburgh.
One Son went to London, and made his fortune in the movies.
Another Son went to Oxford and lives in a small commune there.
The last Son eventually went back to the North East of Scotland and wrote and recorded these songs.

Radar is the product of the last remaining son. The single combines the silky textured vocals and a guitar sound infused with Americana to create a sound that combines elements of Iron & Wine and Grizzly Bear with a liberal helping of The Beach Boys. The song has a hauntingly filmic quality, conjuring-up images of abandoned funfairs and lost highways at midnight. It's an incredibly atmospheric release from an artist confident in his sound.
The single's b-side, "I Have Been", in contrast to the title track, is very much vocally driven. The Son(s) allow instruments to take a back seat while the vocals create a downbeat harmony that sounds like it's been wrenched from deep within the soul. There are elements of early Elvis Costello in last sons' vocal style, with his ability to produce wonderfully poignant lyrics with knives hidden inside them. This is a musician who knows how to use his talents to elicit an emotional response in the listener, and he isn't afraid to do so.
The Son(s) are currently putting the finishing touches to their debut album, due for release in March, and will be spending the early part of 2011 laying the groundwork for its’ reception.
Tracklisting:
1. Dogs, Boys & Men
2. Sonny, You'll Never Get That Ride
3. You Belong To No One
4. Radar
5. Sold Down The River
6. There Is A Hole In The Middle Of The Sea...
7. Count Your Feet
8. George & Harm

Penguins Kill Polar Bears announce UK tour!
Penguins Kill Polar Bears are all set to embark on a UK tour over February and March 2011 to mark the release of their second EP, Vessels & Veins. The lads kick off the tour on 24th February at Mad Hatters, Inverness before they celebrate the launch of their EP at Sneaky Pete's in Edinburgh on 26th February.
Vessels & Veins is a sweeping masterpiece, showcasing a band that are as comfortable with experimentation as they are tried and true rock formulae. Each track explodes into action, with walls of reverb-laden guitars layered over the top of throbbing percussion, and offset by lead singer Ben Proudlock's raw vocals. Their live show is sure to be a thrilling experience.
Watch them perform tracks from their new EP at one of the dates below:
