York-based heavy rock’n’roll quintet The Bastard Sons release their long-awaited debut album ‘Smoke’ today, 7th August 2015, via Kaiju Records. The album is available to buy now on iTunes and Bandcamp and can be streamed in full below.
Including iTunes Metal Chart #1 single ‘Release The Hounds’, the album jumped straight into the iTunes Metal Chart Top 5 on release day.
Leaving their party-anthems (for the most part) behind them, front man JJ Jackson comments on the new material; “I always said with previous releases that I would never open up too much and write lyrics that meant too much to me personally, but with ‘Smoke’ things have changed. I just had to get out my inner frustrations with all the inaccurate crap we are fed through the media; it’s leading us towards negativity instead of pushing humanity forward to a more balanced, harmonious breed.”
UK Live Dates (more TBC):
14/8/15 – The Angel, Durham
15/8/15 – Fibbers, York
