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.

The Electric Sons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While I ride to find my passage through
The world here's all for war
And I need to get my message through
I need to get my message through
There you stand for what you're for
Yeah you wait until my message makes it through
The snow will always fall for you
The snow will always fall for you
Oh don't you let go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Revolutionist
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
It never felt like this
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
And all you wanted is
Oh oh oh oh oh
You saw the fire in their guns
and now they're marching here from kingdom come
and you wait
to hear my message through
that I will always fall for you
I will always fall for you
Still you stand for what you're for
and now their armies flee in fear of harm
and you stay
Now my message here is through
and I will always fall for you
I will always fall for you
Oh don't you let go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Revolutionist
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
It never felt like this
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
And all you wanted is
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Revolutionist
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
It never felt like this
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
And all you wanted is
Oh oh oh oh oh
The lyrics to "Revolutionist" by The Electric Sons are filled with powerful imagery and themes of love and revolution. The first verse sets the scene of a war-torn world where snow falls and the singer is searching for a way to spread their message of revolution. The chorus repeats the phrase "Revolutionist" several times, emphasizing the importance of the message and the identity of the singer as someone fighting for change.
The second verse introduces the idea of a looming battle, with enemies marching towards the singer's position. However, they wait for the message to come through, and eventually their armies flee in fear. The final lines of the song repeat the sentiment that the singer will always fall (presumably in love) for the listener.

The snow here falls for you
The world is beautiful, innocent, and pure, but it’s a stark contrast to the broken, war-torn world I see around me
While I ride to find my passage through
I’m trying to find my way in this fallen world and make my mark amidst the chaos and confusion
The world here's all for war
The world is consumed by war and conflict, with everyone ready to fight and destroy each other
And I need to get my message through
But amidst all this darkness, I know that I have a message of hope and revolution that I need to communicate to others
There you stand for what you're for
I see you standing strong and unwavering in your beliefs, despite the chaos and destruction around us
Though they want to start a war
Others want to use violence and aggression to try and force their views upon us, but we know that true revolution comes from peaceful activism and communication
Yeah you wait until my message makes it through
I know that if I keep fighting and spreading my message, eventually others will hear and join me in my revolution

Despite all the chaos and violence in the world, there will always be beauty and innocence to be found, and it will always be there for you
I need to get my message through
My message of hope, peace, and revolution is more important now than ever before
You saw the fire in their guns
You witnessed firsthand the violence and aggression that others try to use to achieve their goals
and now they're marching here from kingdom come
Now they’re trying to impose their will upon us, coming from far and wide to try and take control of our lives and destinies
and you wait to hear my message through
But amidst all this chaos, you know that my message of hope and revolution is the only true way forward
that I will always fall for you
No matter what happens, I will always be here for you, supporting you and standing with you in our fight for a better world
Still you stand for what you're for
You remain steadfast and dedicated to your beliefs, no matter what others try to do to change your mind
and now their armies flee in fear of harm
Your dedication and conviction have inspired others to join our peaceful revolution, and now those who once sought to control and dominate us are running scared
and you stay
You remain strong and unshakeable, a beacon of hope and revolution in a fallen world
Now my message here is through
I’ve communicated my message of hope, peace, and revolution to you, and I know that you’ll continue to spread it to others
and I will always fall for you
