The Glorious Sons have resolutely manifested all of rock ‘n’ roll’s most positive principles from their very start – creativity and adventure, passion and truth, energy and expression, individuality and spirit of community. Now, after a four-year journey fraught with multiple stops and starts, the Kingston, ON-based band returns with Glory, an album co-produced by Brett Emmons and Frederik Thaae, that fully captures the depth and breadth of their vast artistic vision. Fired by a remarkably vivid sonic approach and raw, heartfelt lyricism, stellar new songs burn bright with incandescent emotional truths that are somehow both deeply personal and wholly universal.
Founded in 2011 by Jay Emmons and Adam Paquette, and joined shortly thereafter by vocalist Brett Emmons, The Glorious Sons immediately caused a commotion with their immense ambition and impassioned songcraft, unleashing three studio albums that earned them two #1 Rock airplay smashes in the US and thirteen consecutive top 10 Rock radio hits in Canada. 2014’s debut album, The Union, affirmed their breakthrough success with a prestigious JUNO Award nomination for “Rock Album of the Year,” fueled in part by such singles as “Heavy,” “Lightning,” and “The Contender,” the latter of which proved the band’s first ever #1 at Canadian Rock radio.
Like any rock ‘n’ roll band worth its salt, The Glorious Sons have spent a great deal of their existence on the road, from headline tours, support runs, and showstopping festival sets to three unforgettable stadium shows supporting The Rolling Stones and more recently, a top-billed appearance alongside Pearl Jam in London, England’s Hyde Park. The global pandemic changed all that of course but at least allowed the band a chance to step back and assess what they’d accomplished thus far. The Glorious Sons are back on the road this Fall with The Glory Tour hitting 57 cities across North America.
From their very start, The Glorious Sons have achieved the near impossible by sounding both familiar and unprecedented, offering a bold new idea of what it means to be a rock ‘n’ roll band in the modern era. Now, with Glory, The Glorious Sons have pushed themselves to the brink to create something meaningful, true, and undeniably their own.
