With their unmistakable hooks and guitar riffs, the Glorious Sons found their signature sound.
In their first two releases the high-energy erratic rock 91裸聊视频榥91裸聊视频� rollers emulated their 1970s idols91裸聊视频擝ruce Springsteen, Jackson Brown, The Rolling Stones, Jackson Isabelle and AC/DC91裸聊视频� and added their own twist. Then they cranked out hit after hit such as 91裸聊视频淗eavy,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频淟ightning,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频淪hapeless Art91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淩uby.91裸聊视频�
Five years later, The Glorious Sons have released Young Beauties and Fools which lays the bands souls bare on the record. The rock anthem, 91裸聊视频淪awed Off Shotgun91裸聊视频� was the song that generated excitement and fire in the band91裸聊视频檚 lungs.
91裸聊视频淵ou get moments of excitement in the studio, when we wrote 91裸聊视频淪awed Off Shotgun91裸聊视频� 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,91裸聊视频� said vocalist and guitarist, Brett Emmons. 91裸聊视频淵ou just get these feelings and momentum, when you can feel momentum you know you have it and when you don91裸聊视频檛 that is a very scary feeling.91裸聊视频�
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 Emmon91裸聊视频檚 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.
91裸聊视频淭here was some (nerves) involved, you don91裸聊视频檛 want to lose all these fans you made on the first album, we wanted to modernize our sound and make rock 91裸聊视频榥91裸聊视频� roll that sounds like it91裸聊视频檚 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 didn91裸聊视频檛 want to rely too much on modern technology because you could lose that edge that can91裸聊视频檛 be captured with anything but live sound and man-power.91裸聊视频�

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.
91裸聊视频淲e are forever indebted to them, they gave us a sense of direction and we were able to create an identity for ourselves.91裸聊视频�
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.
91裸聊视频淚t was pretty wild, I was pretty nervous to be honest,91裸聊视频� said Emmons. 91裸聊视频淭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.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淭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 Jagger91裸聊视频檚 lap of the stage and I couldn91裸聊视频檛 breathe, I didn91裸聊视频檛 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.91裸聊视频�
The rising stars pride themselves on being a stand out band that brings a different sound and message to rock 91裸聊视频榥91裸聊视频� roll. Emmons believes in minimalism and isn91裸聊视频檛 fueled by the glitz and glamour side of the business of showing off things.
91裸聊视频淚 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.91裸聊视频�
The Glorious Sons will complete their next 15 shows of their tour alongside fellow Ontario band, The Beaches, who Emmons describes as 91裸聊视频渙ne of the best rock 91裸聊视频榥91裸聊视频� roll bands on this continent91裸聊视频�.
The Glorious Sons and The Beaches will perform at Prospera Place in Kelowna Nov. 5 tickets are available at
