Holy Sons started as a band in Chester, England, originally called The Sons. Their lineup included Sam Holden on vocals and guitar, Jake Sharp on bass, and Ben Walton on drums. They released their debut EP "Aftermath" in 2012, followed by the full-length album "A Chapter Must Be Closed" in 2014.
That album gave them songs like "Bed Of Nails" and "Warm Coals," which carried a raw, introspective feel. Jake Sharp left the band in 2014, and Matt Locke joined on guitar around that time.
Their music has a haunted quality, with melodies that linger and lyrics that turn inward. You can hear it in tracks like "Things You Do While Waiting For The Apocalypse" and "More Flophouse Blues," which feel both immediate and slightly worn at the edges.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
