Glasgow, United Kingdom (2001 – present)
Glasgow’s Sons and Daughters don’t follow the indie pop formula made famous by their counterparts (Belle & 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 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.
