SONS
High-octane garage rock with a mangled, fuzzed-out edge. Raw Belgian energy that feels like a basement show at midnight.

SONS is a Belgian garage rock quartet formed in Melsele in 2017. The band consists of four lifelong friends who, after years in various local projects, united after being inspired by the raw intensity of the American psych-garage scene (specifically Meatbodies).
They rose to prominence after winning 'De Nieuwe Lichting', a prestigious talent search by Belgian radio station Studio Brussel, which propelled them into the national spotlight. Their sound identity is characterized by heavy use of fuzz pedals, driving motorik-influenced rhythms, and a vocal delivery that sits between a melodic sneer and a full-throated shout. Critically, they are positioned as leaders of a vibrant Belgian rock resurgence alongside peers like Equal Idiots. Their career arc shows a steady evolution from straightforward garage punk toward more textured, noise-rock influenced compositions on later singles. They serve as a bridge between the classic 60s garage revival and the more aggressive, socially-charged post-punk of the 2020s.
