The Glorious Sons

A no-frills, everyman Ontario rock unit in the vein of the Tragically Hip, Big Wreck, and the Arkells, the Glorious Sons emerged in the early 2010s with a winning blend of rootsy alt-pop and Canadian blue-collar trad rock. Since issuing their debut album, The Union, in 2014, the band has landed eight consecutive singles in the Top Ten, with three tracks ("Everything Is Alright," "S.O.S. [Sawed Off Shotgun]," and "Panic Attack") reaching number one. They took home the Rock Album of the Year Juno Award for 2017's Young Beauties and Fools, and again in 2019 for War on Everything. The band's rootsy fourth long-player, Glory, appeared in 2023. Based out of Kingston, the Glorious Sons formed in 2011 around the talents of Jay Emmons, Andrew Young, Adam Paquette, Chris Huot, and Brett Emmons. The band issued a debut EP (Shapeless Art) in 2013 -- it garnered positive reviews, as did their energetic live shows. The following year saw the Glorious Sons head into the studio with the Trews' John-Angus MacDonald and record their debut long-player. The resulting Black Box Recordings-issued The Union, which featured the radio hits "Mama," "Heavy," "White Noise," and "Lightning," arrived in September 2014 and climbed to number 23 on the Canadian Albums chart. The following year, Andrew Young parted ways with the band and was replaced by guitarist Chris Koster. Fans didn't seem to mind -- the Glorious Sons' sophomore effort, 2017's Young Beauties and Fools, included the Top 40 alternative song "Everything Is Alright" and landed in the Top 20. Another single from the album, "S.O.S. (Sawed Off Shotgun)," reached number one on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs chart. After a pair of live albums, Little Prison City: Live at Rogers K-Rock Centre and An Unplugged Evening with the Glorious Sons: Live at Longboat Hall, the band returned with the single "Panic Attack" in 2019 (another Mainstream Rock chart-topper) and third album A War on Everything which, like its predecessor, won a Juno Award for Rock Album of the Year. In 2021 the band issued the high-energy singles "Daylight" and "Hold Steady." Two years later, they released the full-length, roots-rock-leaning Glory, which addressed themes of perseverance, personal growth, and self-acceptance.
