One of the founding groups of the Willkommen Collective, the band is known for live performances with up to thirteen musicians on stage, all of whom play with many other bands.
Formed in 2007 by Jacob Richardson and Tom Cowan, the pair began writing together again in Brighton after having previously written and performed together in Burton-Upon-Trent. Having long shared a passion for rich, layered and intricate guitar music, the Sons’ deep musical exploration quickly developed into a unique and mesmerizing style, brooding on the dark fringes of folk, crossing genres and quickly setting them apart from their contemporaries.
Violinist Mike Siddell (formerly of Hope of the States and currently with indie rockers Lightspeed Champion), was living in Richardson’s girlfriend’s garage at the time, and it wasn’t long before he joined the pair along with William Calderbank (cellist and co founder of The Miserable Rich). The heart of the band was born and the four recorded their debut album in a converted chicken shed in Devon.
As word spread and recordings were passed around town, an array of interested local musicians emerged and joined the fray, including members of the acclaimed Willkommen Collective: Nick Hemming (banjo, mandolin) and Helen Whitaker (flute) of The Leisure Society, Marcus Hamblett (double bass) of Kopek, Alistair Strachan (horns) of Hamilton Yarns, Rowan Coupland (clarinet), Jo White (accordion) of Red Dog Green Dog, Danny Green (percussion) of Laish and Catherine Cardin of Redwood Red.
The band's debut self-titled album was released worldwide in April 2010 (distributed by Shellshock).
Their second album, Knots, was released in 2012.
The band's third album, Turquoise Purple Pink, was released on 25 November 2016.

Rise Young aggressor, born into the life of crime I would walk…
The Wreck Is Not A Boat When the captain took us to the wreck on that great…
