Sunset Sons

With their gritty yet laid-back sound, Sunset Sons fall somewhere between the pop-Americana of Tom Petty, the rock heft of Kings of Leon, and the beachy alt-rock of Red Hot Chili Peppers. Emerging from a group of British and Australian surfers based in the French coastal city of Hossegor, the band made waves on streaming sites with their first EP, 2014's Le Surfing. Their full-length debut, Very Rarely Say Die, reached the U.K. Top 25 when it arrived in 2016. ~ Timothy Monger
