Love the Cup

Music has always been a family affair, whether in truth (the Carters, the Jacksons, the Danielsons), spirit (Parliament, Amon Duül, the Ramones) or some strange combination therein (White Stripes, Destiny's Child). Sibling love and competition has engineered some of the greatest songs ever made. Related in every sense but blood, SONS & DAUGHTERS rise from their early traditionalist Scottish folk songs on "Love the Cup," embracing the subjects of love, god, and murder that Johnny Cash so eloquently eulogized.

All four members were active in the Glasgow scene before coming together. Adele Bethel and David Gow recorded and toured as members of ARAB STRAP and THE ZEPHYRS. Scott Paterson has his own project called MARCH OF DIMES, while Ailidh (pronounced "Ay-Lee") Lennon studied classical composition at a local university. "Love The Cup" benefits from all this experience, showing the group confident in each measure, every hook, unafraid to go hog wild on "Johnny Cash," let the acoustic guitars and mandolins set the tone on "Start to End," or allow the tension of a soft slow build on "Awkward Duet." Join Sons & Daughters as they tour the vast terrain of raucous and sly classic country, mixing in traditional Scottish folk along the way.
