The band formed in 2011 when Miller left his job as an illustrator for the FX Network series, “Archer,” to team up with Richards, an advertising graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design. Miller and Richards quickly gained a following of local fans after releasing a home-recorded EP under the name “AM83”. Energized by the grass roots success of the EP, the duo set their sights on releasing a follow-up EP. It was during those writing sessions that Miller and Richard’s shared love for electronic music began to influence their writing. The result is their latest self-produced, self-titled EP, The Electric Sons.
Within a week of the band releasing the EP in May of 2012, the Electric Sons were featured on the cover of the national music publication, Indie Music Review Magazine where the EP garnered a 5-star review and critical praise. “From the production quality to the music, vocals, and lyrics: everything is a home run. After only 4 songs they will definitely leave you wanting more, so start it over and play it again!” (IMR, May 2012). The EP gained further momentum when the band was featured as Artist Of The Week on Fanbolt.com (over 130,000 followers).
After playing only two shows in the Spring of 2012, the Electric Sons were invited to play the main stage for Atlanta radio station Star 94's annual music festival. Soon after, the Sons began to headline their own shows at Atlanta’s popular venues including Vinyl, Masquerade, and Smith's Olde Bar. On stage the band brings an electric orgy of synthesized riffs and swirly guitar melodies while Miller’s clean-cut vocal breaks loose and soars high above the tangled web of synchronized beats and processed hooks.
Whether it’s the growl of the fan-favorite track, “Break Away”, or the shimmering luster of the soaring “Kyoto”, listeners of the EP and observers of the band’s live performance agree: The Electric Sons could very well be the first big electronic band to come out of the South.
Hold On We're Going Home
The Electric Sons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly
I can't get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
So just hold on we're going home
Just hold on we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we're going home (home)
I got my eyes on you
You're everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly

The Electric Sons’s song “Hold on We’re Going Home” captures the essence of a love story. The verses speak of a man who cannot take his eyes off of his lover, and her hot love and emotion that he craves endlessly. The singer is left with a mark on him, demonstrating that his lover has left a profound impact on him. The chorus implies that it is hard to do things alone, so they should hold on to each other as they are going home.
The lyrics are very simple and straightforward, but they capture the vulnerability and the depth of love that is often present in young love stories. The Electric Sons bring their electronic music expertise and gift for catchy lyrics to this track, creating a pop hit that captures universal themes of love, companionship, and the desire for connection.
Overall, the song is a heartfelt and passionate ode to love and companionship. It is about the power that someone can have over another person and the desire to keep that person close. It is a song about taking risks, letting oneself be vulnerable and letting love lead the way.
