Sons and Daughters are the kind of band you wish would come along more often, but whose very rarity makes them all the more thrilling. They know their music inside out, they're the tightest of live bands, and they represent for the girls without leaving out the boys. Sons and Daughters' seven-track album Love The Cup, introduces us to their somewhat unenviable lyrical world of relationships that don't function and yet compel the two sides to go on warring and loving in their own twisted fashion. The music, no less compelling, scratches and screeches around them, recalling the Velvet Underground in its eerie minimalism and Smog in its bluesy urgency.
