About The Glorious Sons:
The Glorious Sons have resolutely manifested all of rock ‘n roll’s most positive principles from their very start – creativity and adventure, passion and truth, energy and expression, individuality, and spirit of community. Following a four-year journey fraught with multiple stops and starts, the Kingston, ON-based band returns with Glory, an album co-produced by Brett Emmons and Frederik Thaae, that fully captures the depth and breadth of their vast artistic vision.
The JUNO Award winning, two-time Canadian certified Platinum and six-time Canadian certified Gold rock group, have been on an incredible journey, leading to the meteoric rise of their recognition as one of the commanding forces in rock ‘n roll, not only at home but globally. With multiple chart-topping hits, the band has gone from headlining clubs to arenas and festival dates, steadily cementing their position as “Canada’s Best Export” (Washington Times), while garnering critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase. Glory, their fourth studio album, is out now, and features lead single ‘Mercy Mercy’, and their latest smash ‘Speed of Light’, which is featured by the NHL here .
About TALK:
Canadian rocker TALK unleashed his debut album Lord of the Flies & Birds & Bees, last October via Capitol Records/Range Music. The album executive produced by Justin Tranter features the Platinum single “Run Away to Mars” and viral hit “A Little Bit Happy.” Lord of the Flies & Birds & Bees comes after a whirlwind few years for TALK, born Nicholas Durocher. After “Run Away to Mars” went viral in 2022, the song topped Billboard’s Adult Alternative charts earlier this year. While he continues to be a huge sensation on TikTok, he’s proving to be quite the onstage powerhouse, completing tours with Young The Giant, Milky Chance, and conquering Lollapalooza and Life Is Beautiful Festivals this past Summer. TALK kicks off his international tour this February tickets are on sale now.
