about

Out via Till Deaf Do Us Party Records across iTunes and all digital platforms.

Following on from the successes of their first three singles, ‘Reptiles’ ‘A Love Song?' and ‘Zealot’, the Brighton duo return in supercharged form with their newest track. If their previous singles were big, ‘Rise’ is blatantly anthemic,

A jarring atonal guitar riff paves the way for a chorus drop that is intense but mammoth. ‘Rise’ showcases SONS ability to write sharp and catchy hooks while never compromising on their message.

In times of political uncertainty, the newest single is the band’s most direct comment. Speaking on the track, singer Lee Meldrum said...

"I wrote Rise after watching a sketch by Jonathan Pie. It's mostly about how a lot of the younger generation feel they have lost their voice in the political landscape but don't do much about it rather that complain over social media. I feel it's like a call to arms that if they keep on being ignored and silenced there will be an uprising.”

lyrics

"We got a new generation
Expecting easy outs
Sit and moan from their bedrooms
Forgot the way to shout
Shot down are different opinions
Don't listen Judge their minds
They're disengaged with the regime
The kids they aren't alright

When their all the way down
We're all the way down

We will rise

We got this new generation
Who feel they lost their fight
But bleeding hearts were the gateway
We opened up to right
To question makes you a traitor
Don't question you'll be shamed
If you don't like what I'm saying
You've got yourself to blame

When their all the way down
We're all the way down

We will rise"
