London's Sons of Albion Set for US Debut

(PR) London-based rock act Sons of Albion are about to make their stateside debut. Although barely 18 months old as a band, they've already played their brand of fiery hard rock at some of The UK's biggest festivals, like T in the Park and Virgin's V Festival, as well as opening for acts like Velvet Revolver, Lenny Kravitz, and The Who.

Mixing a modern hard rock sound that's draw comparison to bands like Soundgarden, Audioslave, and Rage Against The Machine -- delivered with an attitude Esquire dubs "old school swagger" -- Sons Of Albion make songs that quiver with energy and explode with a wall of wailing guitars and thundering drums.

Poised to make their first-ever U.S. trip, the band will perform multiple shows in Austin during South By Southwest, including their official showcase as Latitude on Saturday March 21st at 1am (part of the official British Embassy Showcase), with additional confirmations expected in the coming weeks. Immediately following, the band will make their New York debut, for a series of intimate club shows spanning nearly an entire week. A full itinerary will be announced shortly.

Currently putting the finishing touches on their debut full length, Sons of Albion have announced plans for their first limited edition single, a double A-side of "Take A Look" and "Castles In The Sky", available March 30th as a 7" single -- in red Vinyl.
