Since the summer of 2005, Sons of Roswell have been on a constant rise. It all started out with a self-recorded demo that spread like a wildfire through the southeast. They spent most of 2006 recording their first full length self-titled album (released March 2007) and playing shows around the South. Since releasing the album, they have been on the road all over Eastern US. They started 2008 off with a three week tour around the southeast, hitting the cities they commonly play, as well as a few new towns. They have been hailed as one of the best live shows of the time. From the first note, the four members take over the stage with fury and slam into every note as if they're out to kill. It's a beast of its own, and one everybody must witness sometime. The band recently left the Nutthouse Recording Studio in Sheffield, AL after recording their yet to be titled follow up album, to be released sometime in the summer of 2008. You can find their music at various online retailer such as iTunes, Ruckus, Napster and more, as well as in many local music stores in the towns they've played.
"Sons of Roswell rock with echoes of the past and bright originality. Great songs with memorable hooks. I love this band!"
-Jimmy Nutt, Studio Engineer (Drive-By Truckers, Jimmy Buffet, John Paul White and more)
"Sons of Roswell delivers a sound both comfortably classic, yet
refreshingly distinct. Simply put...These Guys Rock!"
-Chad Green, ASCAP Nashville Membership Representative
"Sons of Roswell, a quartet that takes the Black Crowes' blues-rock formula and spikes it with hillbilly moonshine."

"The Sons of Roswell know how to make songs sound contemporary without delving into the 70’s rock pastiche that so many artists imitate. It’s pretty apparent that living in the shadows of Muscle Shoals recording legends didn’t intimidate the four members of The Sons, and perhaps some of that Southern magic rubbed off on the band while in the recording studio. With a fantastic debut album and some terrific, visceral tracks, it won’t take long for The Sons to get noticed by record executives."
-Andrei Bulawka, www.cdreviews.com
"I am not shitting you. If you love the Rock, this album needs to be in your possession. I promise you you will love it and want to have its baby."
-Alabama Ass Whuppin
"Vocalist Kevin Keenum and company present an even mix of bluesy hard rock and punk rock attitude served with a distinctly southern flavor. As a result, the boys of Roswell have created an album packed with strutting, cocksure, optimistic tracks that provide a refreshing alternative to the whiny, jaded music that predominately populates the pop music charts."
-David Feltman, Performer Magazine
Seventies rock, particularly of the "Southern" variety, has been a popular mining source for young rock bands in recent years, but most seem solely drawn to that period's arena rock bombast and shallow riffs, ignoring the fact that delicate, contemplative material was masterfully yarned by groups like The Band in the same era.Muscle Shoals four-piece Sons of Roswell seem drawn to both sides of the coin, indulging in tough bar-rock stomps, but staying just as gritty when they dial back their amps for the shuffling country-rocker "Losing My Mind."
-The Tennessean
