Glasgow, United Kingdom (2001 – present)
Glasgow’s Sons and Daughters don’t follow the indie pop formula made famous by their counterparts (Belle and Sebastian, Camera Obscura). Adele Bethel, David Gow, Scott Paterson, and Ailidh Lennon, who formed the group in 2001, compose a roughcast folk-rock sound similar to the likes of Smog and Cat Power. Prior to getting together, Bethel (guitar) and Gow (drums) toured and recorded with the The Zephyrs and Arab Strap. Paterson (guitar/bass) chiefed March of Dimes for a short time while Lennon (mandolin/bass) studied classical composition at a University nearby. In 2002, Sons and Daughters self-released The Lovers EP. Love the Cup, an intriguing homage to Johnny Cash, followed a year later.
In 2005, Sons and Daughters issued their studio full-length, The Repulsion Box. The album is characterised by viciously snarled vocals and even recorded fights between the bandmembers, giving it its name.
A song from Love the Cup, Blood, was used in series one of the American TV show “Weeds”, playing over the last few minutes of episode 4.

I've loved Sons and Daughter for a couple of years, but have to say it would have been longer if they hadn't put me off listening to them with a truly awful live show back in about 2004/5. Good band though, and it may just have been an off night...

if you like your bands Scottish and just a little bit good too then try supporting the up and coming Scottish bands too! try the brilliant The Apple Scruffs from Glasgow and Cancel The Astronauts from edinburgh....both bands are excellent but need your support. let the big boys have a day off and snub what NME tells you is a the next big thing! think for yourself!! you know it makes sense :)

too bad I only discovered them recently, therefore I missed their gig in Amsterdam earlier this year... But, after all, I'm still happy I discovered them! :-) Really great band!

This is not the same Sons & Daughters I fell in love with in 2004. Sad.

Ailidh is a much better bass player than I expected. Great show at the Ironworks.
