Two-piece SONS are back to give us another dose of their raw post-punk fuzz with their new single ‘Zealot’, dropping on 25th August via London DIY label Till Deaf Do Us Party.

Fusing face melting noise and relentless attitude, with influences spanning from Slaves, Blood Red Shoes and No Age to Death From Above 1979 and Lighting Bolt, the Brighton duo take the timeless but sometimes limited power duo dynamic and throw away the rulebook, adding an amount of sheer velocity, energy and volume to an already towering sound.

Talking about the song, the band - comprised of brothers Lee on guitars and vocals and Nick Meldrum on drums - explains: “is about rising up and pushing for changes using your voice. Stand up to the powers that be, don’t just take it, shout at them, whatever you know is right, don't give up until you're heard.” Their anti-establishment underscores the raw nature of UK grassroots post-punk and the new wave of youth discontent that the group’s music was born from.
