Brantford, ON’s Sons of Revelry play straight-forward indie rock that doesn’t stray too far from the sounds popularized most recently by Kings of Leon or Arctic Monkeys. With enough hooks to balance out the occasional spacey moments, their debut EP, Born with a Bigga Goal, portrays a band with a lot of confidence in its sonic concoction and maturity that extends beyond their limited time together.
Occasionally, vocalist Toby Black’s Scottish heritage (he’s first generation Canadian) emerges sonically through both his accent and U.K. musical nods (see the track “Born With” for an example). The band might not offer a brand new take on rock ‘n’ roll, but they certainly serve as a reminder that the genre’s not as dead as contemporary record charts would have us believe.
