THIS WEEK : SONS BETWEEN GUNS
Sons Between Guns are a duo from South East London making electronica with a tinge of folk & a splash of indie.To be honest its hard to pin them down to any particular genre and its all the better for that imho. This is music for the soul with sounds for the heart thrown in for good measure.
The future has a golden glow for Sons Between Guns if songwriting as promising as ‘The Other Side’ is anything to go by. I fully expect to hear them coming out of radio’s this spring/summer & beyond. Oh, and they were born in a Beach Hut apparently. This is Prick and Ding 39 and here are Son Between Guns.
