New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The
Glorious Sons announce their incisive new album 'A War On Everything' - out
September 13th on BMG/Black Box - a daring 14-track collection of stadium-ready, "dirty, sweaty rock" (Alternative Press) rife with devastating moments of vulnerability and searing insight into universal truths about anxiety, sadness and isolation in the 21st century.
Produced by
Frederik Thaae (Kate Nash,
Atlas Genius) and recorded at North of Princess studios in the group's hometown of Kingston, ON, 'A War On Everything' marks the start of a new chapter for a band who in 2019 alone landed their first Billboard #1, played massive shows with The
Rolling Stones and Twenty-One Pilots, and toured with The
Struts - and that's just the beginning.
The
Glorious Sons also release their new song "Pink Motel" today. On "Pink Motel," frontman
Brett Emmons ruminates on a failed relationship strained by material things - or lack thereof. "I wrote this song in response to my ex claiming 'we don't have anything' as she looked around my shitty apartment," he says. "'Pink Motel' was my last effort to remind her how meaningless everything was if we couldn't get back to just her and I."
Listen to "Pink Motel" here "I think these days we all walk around over-stimulated, over-dependant, addicted, yearning for some magic way to isolate ourselves from the world and still be loved," says Brett, and those themes penetrate the entirety of the album.
The Glorious Sons' dangerous brand of rock and roll is on full display on 'A War On Everything.' From the kinetic intensity of "
Panic Attack" to the frenzied "The Ongoing Speculation Into The Death Of Rock and Roll," the album bursts with bulletproof energy and trenchant, brutally honest lyrics.
Loudwire named The
Glorious Sons an up-and-coming rock band "you need to hear," and Billboard has praised the band's "infectious energy." Their most recent single "
Panic Attack" is currently #1 on the Canadian Active Rock chart and in the top 15 at US Active Rock. Their breakout 2017 single "
S.O.S. (Sawed Off Shotgun)" held the #1 spot at US Active Rock for 4 consecutive weeks earlier this year and remains one of the most played tracks at rock radio.
The
Glorious Sons will tour extensively behind 'A War On Everything,' including forthcoming dates with The
Struts at New York's Pier 17, DC's 9:30 club and more. They'll play Osheaga next month, and in September, they'll headline a hometown show at Kingston's 14,000-cap Richardson Memorial Stadium.
