Catch them on tour with Franz Ferdinand in April.

Sons and Daughters formed in winter 2001 and feature Adele Bethel on vocals and guitar (has featured on Arab Strap, Zephyrs and Sofia releases), David Gow on drums (Arab Strap, David Kitt), Ailidh Lennon on bass, piano and mandolin (Cover star from Arab Straps 'Mad for Sadness') and Scott Paterson on guitar and vocals (March of Dimes).

They play sad, dirty folk music that kicks fuck out of Johnny Cash. And they mean when he was young and hard.
