The Band

Children Of The Son are three brothers Max, Art and Jack from Dublin, Ireland. Max found himself when he found music. It became everything. Tens of thousands of hours spent in his bedroom, his Gibson is now an extension of himself. This led Nick Kelly in The Irish Independent to write: 'Max is the songwriter in chief and a virtuoso guitar prodigy, whose way with a riff could knock the top hat off Slash'!'But it's all about the songs' he told Dave Hanratty in Hotpress....'What are rock songs but pop songs with distortion?' Jack is his younger brother and the lead singer. He stands at 6ft 2 with a vocal range of 4 octaves. The 15-year-old is in possession of the kind of pipes that led Bono’s coach to declare him the most “young and raw” vocal talent she had come across in 30 years. He quit School along with his brother Art, while Max turned down Trinity college, to collectively spend every hour of every day, writing playing & recording.“I don’t really try to emulate anyone, I just try to be me,” he told Hotpress. I want to be Jack Matthews. If you look at the best frontmen, the really great ones have done something nobody else has done. Iconic rock Photographer Robert Knight came over from LA and said about Jack "Today I felt like I was at ground zero for something big and that I might have just photographed the next Robert Plant.”Art is the middle brother and is ripping on Bass. He is the in house engineer. He is the quieter of the three but is the glue and organizer of the band. He also has a powerful voice & contributes to backing vocals.The band have being literally writing & recording since September, from dawn to dusk, soon to record their Debut Single with a four time Grammy Producer which is due for release early summer. The resulting new sound is so melodic and lyrical.The three brothers all play a huge part in the songwriting process....breaking down the songs and rebuilding them back together. All their songs are deeply personal. Influences are wide-ranging from the likes of Radiohead, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones. Being a band of brothers means the world... Their bond is brothers and music is their lives....there is no other option.Eddie Rowley after seeing them live said: "They are Mesmerising! We haven't seen anything like these guys since U2 set the world on fire".Hotpress have labelled Children Of The Son as Hot for 2013.
