With the breakthrough success of the Alabama Shakes (who were basically totally unheard of at this point last year), a lot of doors are being opened for smaller, classic southern rock leaning bands. Austin alt-rockers Sons of Fathers have the chops to make a splash in our current roots-rock loving music market. With a very mid-tempo blues inspired sound (with guitar influences that recall the Yardbirds and early Zeppelin), Sons of Fathers meld barb-wire hooks with great harmony work reminiscent of modern acts like Zeus or Dawes. If you're one of those people that constantly complains about where the good "rock" bands went, give Sons of Father a chance and check out our exclusive premiere of their track "Burning Days" below. This should keep you sated.
