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 ↴
Swift step suspect like the gun
Breath in, breath out, my feet hit the ground
and what I find is I don't mind it
So let out something like a sound
I'm coming for you
And I'm leaning to run run run
And I'm leaning to run run run
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh,
I've made a whirlwind of a world in love
an I'm fading out at the speed of sound
I'm coming for you
And I'm leaning to run run run
I'm coming for you
And I'm leaning to run run run
I'm coming for you
And I'm leaning to run run run
I'm coming for you
And I'm leaning to run run run
I can't stop
I can't stop
I can't stop
I can't stop
I can't stop, wont stop
I can't stop, wont stop
I can't stop, wont stop
I can't stop
I'm coming for you
And I'm leaning to run run run
I'm coming for you
And I'm leaning to run run run
The Electric Sons' song "Run Run Run" is a fast-paced song with an urgent tone. The lyrics start with the singer pushing himself to keep running despite feeling tired and breathless. He feels like a suspect with a gun, his heartbeat adding heat to his lungs. However, he finds that he doesn't mind the physical strain and lets out a sound as he runs.
The chorus is a repetition of the title, "I'm coming for you, And I'm leaning to run run run." The singer seems to be chasing after someone or something, and he will not be deterred by obstacles or his physical limitations. The bridge talks about making a whirlwind of a world in love, and fading out at the speed of sound. This could be a metaphor for burning out too fast or falling too hard for someone. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the singer's relentless pursuit.
Overall, the lyrics convey the feeling of someone who is determined to catch up with or accomplish something, even if it takes a physical and mental toll on him.
