With their unmistakable hooks and guitar riffs, the Glorious Sons found their signature sound.
In their first two releases the high-energy erratic rock 香蕉视频直播榥香蕉视频直播� rollers emulated their 1970s idols香蕉视频直播擝ruce Springsteen, Jackson Brown, The Rolling Stones, Jackson Isabelle and AC/DC香蕉视频直播� and added their own twist. Then they cranked out hit after hit such as 香蕉视频直播淗eavy,香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播淟ightning,香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播淪hapeless Art香蕉视频直播� and 香蕉视频直播淩uby.香蕉视频直播�
Five years later, The Glorious Sons have released Young Beauties and Fools which lays the bands souls bare on the record. The rock anthem, 香蕉视频直播淪awed Off Shotgun香蕉视频直播� was the song that generated excitement and fire in the band香蕉视频直播檚 lungs.
香蕉视频直播淵ou get moments of excitement in the studio, when we wrote 香蕉视频直播淪awed Off Shotgun香蕉视频直播� where we all looked at each other and we knew we had come upon something really special.
That was definitely a big moment for us,香蕉视频直播� said vocalist and guitarist, Brett Emmons. 香蕉视频直播淵ou just get these feelings and momentum, when you can feel momentum you know you have it and when you don香蕉视频直播檛 that is a very scary feeling.香蕉视频直播�
The six year old band from Kingston, Ontario evolved their sound to find a more modern sound that would bring their music into the 21st Century.
Their wailing guitars and Emmon香蕉视频直播檚 roaring vocals were refined into a cohesive sound with the help of Fast Friends, a band from Los Angeles who Emmons said was crucial to finding their own sound.
香蕉视频直播淭here was some (nerves) involved, you don香蕉视频直播檛 want to lose all these fans you made on the first album, we wanted to modernize our sound and make rock 香蕉视频直播榥香蕉视频直播� roll that sounds like it香蕉视频直播檚 coming from the 21st Century. We knew we could do that but still needed the energy and erraticness of our sound that we had on our first album. It actually took us five or six months to mix the album because of that. We didn香蕉视频直播檛 want to rely too much on modern technology because you could lose that edge that can香蕉视频直播檛 be captured with anything but live sound and man-power.香蕉视频直播�

Keeping their edge was vital for Emmons and the band while they crafted their own vibe and niche that they would then pour into Young Beauties and Fools. Working closely alongside the band members of Fast Friends they were able to keep that and become the roaring success they are today.
香蕉视频直播淲e are forever indebted to them, they gave us a sense of direction and we were able to create an identity for ourselves.香蕉视频直播�
The Glorious Sons gained international recognition when they shared the stage with The Rolling Stones in Marseille, France in front of approximately 59,000 people.
香蕉视频直播淚t was pretty wild, I was pretty nervous to be honest,香蕉视频直播� said Emmons. 香蕉视频直播淭hat is so many people and looking out that far (from the stage) and not being able to see features on peoples faces, it was wild.香蕉视频直播�
香蕉视频直播淭here were some nerves and it was exciting. When we got on stage which is basically 10 times bigger than any stage we had done, I did Mick Jagger香蕉视频直播檚 lap of the stage and I couldn香蕉视频直播檛 breathe, I didn香蕉视频直播檛 think I could finish. It happened so fast it was 35 minutes and the set was done, I was trying to find my family in the crowd but that was basically impossible. I got an ice cream cone and walked around the ocean in Marseille and then we bought a plane ticket home to rehearse for something else.香蕉视频直播�
The rising stars pride themselves on being a stand out band that brings a different sound and message to rock 香蕉视频直播榥香蕉视频直播� roll. Emmons believes in minimalism and isn香蕉视频直播檛 fueled by the glitz and glamour side of the business of showing off things.
香蕉视频直播淚 feel like we are part of a community of people that find that they are starting to get sick of the status quo and the synthetic state of the world. We are trying to reach people with natural tones and sounds.香蕉视频直播�
The Glorious Sons will complete their next 15 shows of their tour alongside fellow Ontario band, The Beaches, who Emmons describes as 香蕉视频直播渙ne of the best rock 香蕉视频直播榥香蕉视频直播� roll bands on this continent香蕉视频直播�.
The Glorious Sons and The Beaches will perform at Prospera Place in Kelowna Nov. 5 tickets are available at
