Steady, unyielding persistence in adhering to a course of action, a belief, a purpose or a goal... .. ..Faith:.. Confident, unwavering belief in the truth and value of an idea... .. A lot can happen over the course of sixteen seasons: four hockey seasons, an undergraduate degree at university, a jail sentence for break-and-enter, two Olympiads, a US presidential term, one leap year. In other words, it can feel like a long, long time... .. Musicians exist for one reason: to make music. They will do whatever it takes to get their music out there-sacrifices, detours, career re-boots and grinding it out-even if it takes sixteen long seasons. .. .. Throughout their career, the guys in Idle Sons have been anything but, well, idle (for the most part, really-but we're getting ahead of ourselves). They formed while in high school, released a bunch of albums under an old name, recorded an album with major label under a new name and had to wait four long years-16 seasons, geddit?-before they could release their debut major label record. And here it is.. .. .. ..The Early Years...... Everyone in Idle Sons is from Burlington, the commuter suburb stuck between Toronto and Hamilton near the western tip of Lake Ontario. Fittingly, Mike and Sean were on the same line on their hockey team while Bruce and Ryan were pitcher/catcher combination during baseball season. The four eventually came together as slurpymundae (yes, that's how you spell it) who released a couple of EPs and an album before realizing that "slurpymundae" wasn't a name with any kind of a future. That's why, at the start of the new century, they decided to go with "Idle Sons." Based on the strength of a three-song demo recorded with the help of their cross-town buddies Finger Eleven, the group signed with a major label. After six months' worth of recording in the LA sun, Idle Sons flew home to await the imminent release of their major label debut. They were going to call it Hell or High Water..... ......wanna read more?

    Hope all is well.
