Since dropping their sophomore album, "Young Beauties and Fools" in October, the Canadian band, The Glorious Sons have been creating a buzz in the music world. After being compared to Mumford & Sons, Kings of Leon, The Lumineers, and generating over 465,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, this alternative rock & roll band is one that you do not want to miss out on.

The band is led by brothers, Brett (vocals) and Jay Emmons (guitar) who came together to create a 10-track sophomore album that keeps the listener engaged from the first track to the last. The 10-tracks give an insight into the adventures of Brett himself as well as starting on the adventure of adulthood. The album was nominated for "Rock Album of the Year" at the 2018 JUNO Awards in Canada.

A standout track on the album is, "Everything Is Alright" which was named Apple Music's "Best of the Week" and found it's way in the "Top 10" on Apple Music's Alternative Radio. Other tracks that stood out to me were "Sawed Off Shotgun" and "Hide My Love." "Sawed Off Shotgun" has a super cool beat, is pumped up, and full of relatable lyrics, one being,

"Everybody's acting like they're all alright
I can barely get myself to sleep at night; I'm sick of it
Yeah, I'm sick of it."

"Hide My Love" is one of the slower tracks on the album, but it really appealed to me. Even though it is slower than the rest, there are still a few moments where Brett's vocals shine. It is also a powerful song lyrically,

"I smush some orchids in the street
Sand below our bare feet
Got on my knees and cleaned the grass up
Oh, this aching in my gut."

I just love that lyric and when it is tied in with the next line of the song it is amazing. Overall, The Glorious Sons have one killer sophomore album, and if you haven't listened to it yet, you better get started. You will thank yourself later!

If you think that The Glorious Sons would be a super cool band to see play live, well you aren't wrong, and you are in luck! The band's U.S. headline tour begins on Tuesday, March 13th in Minneapolis, Minnesota and will wrap up in Colorado Springs, Colorado on March 23rd. However, after their headline tour, the band will still be on the road playing shows. They will open for Franz Ferdinand at "Express Live!" in Columbus, Ohio on April 14th and then play a few shows with The Struts throughout April. After, they will hit a few festivals including "Firefly Music Festival" in Dover, Deleware, "Hang Out Music Festival" in Gulf Shores, Alabama, "Leeds Festival" in Leeds (U.K), and the popular "Reading" festival in Branham, England (U.K).
