About Me:
Before the After was received with open arms on the upstate New York music scene bringing in positive reviews. Among them was The Buffalo News who selected SOTS as a "band to watch" in 2009. Playing local shows and touring regionally developed the bands sound into what is described as encompassing elements of groups such as Band of Horses, The Kinks, Gram Parsons, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
In June of 2010 Son of the Sun released their first full-length album The Happy Loss. With the help of co-producer Mike Brown, the album was recorded in part at Temperamental Recordings in Geneseo, NY and mixed by Alan Weatherhead (Sparklehorse, Camper Van Beethoven, Cracker) at Sound of Music Recording Studios in Richmond, VA. Throughout 2010 Son of the Sun continued to tour from the midwest to the east coast and support national headlining acts in the Upstate NY area. With every show sold out at the local level, the band has been able to expand their fan base regionally.
Staying true to their roots in what is described as "melodically detailed rock," Son of the Sun continues to pile on euphonic layers of textured harmonies with an added garage psychedelia that defines their sound so well. Their new EP "Almost Not There" being released in June of 2011 follows their song writing rule of "keep it simple," and 3-chord rock-n-roll. But with instrument choices and mixing classic and modern recording techniques giving the chance to bridge the gap between the two time periods, making it have a familiar "classic" vibe while staying new and refreshing.
"We all draw from the same pool of influence for the most part" says Joey from SOTS. "For me personally I could listen to Roy Orbison's In Dreams as much as Gimme Danger by the Stooges, followed by a Hank Williams song, and get equally turned on by all of those. So watching the movie "Alphaville" is just as motivating as listening to a Velvet Underground record. So in some way all of those things manage to sneak into the songs whether through a songwriting style or a certain choice of instruments, effects, etc."
Son of the Sun plans to tour the east coast and midwest in support of "Almost Not There." They are also highlighting their Summer of 2011 with direct support for national headliners such as Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, The Tea Party, Blue Oyster Cult and Our Lady Peace.
The band is breaking new ground and will soon be coming to a city near you.
