The Glorious Sons formed in Kingston, Ontario in 2011, with Brett Emmons on lead vocals. They started out playing a lot of gigs around Toronto, though it took a few years for things to click. Their sound had a raw, garage-rock feel early on, which you can hear on their first album, 'The Union.'
In 2016, the single 'S.O.S (Sawed Off Shotgun)' broke through for them, topping the Canadian charts. Other tracks like 'Heavy' and 'Sometimes On a Sunday' kept that direct, unpolished energy.
They've put out four studio albums so far, including 'Young Beauties and Fools' and 'A War on Everything.' Over those records, their sound has shifted a bit, becoming more polished and introspective compared to the early stuff. The band's lineup has stayed pretty steady, with Brett Emmons, his brother Jay on guitar, Chris Huot on guitar, Adam Paquin on bass, and Chris Koster on drums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
