The Glorious Sons are a Kingston, Ontario outfit formed in 2011, fronted by Brett Emmons, who sings and plays guitar, keyboards and harmonica, with Jay Emmons on guitar, Peter Van Helvoort on bass and Adam Paquette on drums. They signed to Black Box in 2013 and have been hammering away at hard rock with a big, hoarse heart ever since.
The Union, in 2014, gave the countdowns "Heavy", a grinding, soulful blues-rock stomp. Young Beauties and Fools, in 2017, pushed further with "Everything Is Alright", which pairs a rough-throated vocal with a chorus built for arenas. Glory, in 2023, brought "Mercy Mercy". Along the way they've put out two EPs and four full-length albums, all of it the sound of a bar band that grew up and never stopped swinging.
