Playing Favourites
Don't be put off by the Britishy spelling of Favourite Sons - after all, the boys hail from jolly olde Brooklyn. That said, the group delivers good ol' fashioned swagger rock, in the vein of a defuzzed Strokes or Hot Hot Heat. From the wavering yelps of Griffin’s vocals to the thumping lovelorn letter of the title track, Down Beside Your Beauty will more than likely end up a sleeper hit. Best hop on that bandwagon now, sons and daughters, so you can officially say you saw them play at the Empty Bottle (on Nov. 6) before they got big.
UPDATE: Favourite Sons have cancelled tonight and the remainder of their tour. Australia's Drones will still headline, and The Devastations will support.
