Sunset Sons - Very Rarely Say Die [CD]

Very Rarely Say Die - recorded between London, Nashville and the band's adopted hometown of Hossegor with Jacquire King (Kings of Leon) and James Lewis (Arctic Monkeys) - will arrive amidst a 14 date UK and Ireland headline tour. The Anglo-Aussie band have had a blinding past 12 months, which has seen them play over 20 summer festival dates, secure Radio, and win over thousands of new fans, night after night opening up for Imagine Dragons. Prior to that, the band embarked on a sold-out UK tour through the spring, which ended on a sold-out London Scala show - all none too shabby for a bunch of four surfers who fell into music as a means to pay the bills just two years previously. Sunset Sons came into being when Rory, Pete, Jed and Rob encountered each other whilst pursuing their love of surfing in the sleepy French beach town of Hossegor. Drummer Jed came across frontman Rory hammering out cover versions (which incredibly took in everything from QoTSA to D12) on a bar piano, inbetween stints pot-washing in the kitchen. That bar, 'Le Surfing', happened to be owned by Australian bassist Pete's cousin, and lent its name to Sunset Sons' self-funded and released debut EP.
