Sons of August is a 4 Piece Rock Band from Jacksonville Beach Florida that formed in August of 2006. We have a raw guitar based sound. stylistically, our songs are too fast to be grunge, a little too slow to be punk, too heavy to be alternative, not heavy enough to be metal, yet all of these elements are part of our music. if we had to use a one word label to describe out music, it would probably grunk. On stage we strive for maximum intensity and emotion in our performances. Our songs have meaning for us personally, and we try to project that in a way that we hope is fun and entertaining. Band members: *Thomas Tollefson - Drums Thomas recently moved to the North Florida area from Omaha, Nebraska. In Omaha, he played in numerous acts, most notably the alternative band Marianas. he has a manic playing style reminiscent of Keith moon. *Jamie Borders - Bass Jamie Borders is well known surfer/Artist who operates the popular website fluidgroove.net. Although he's not played bass for very long, he's already quite good at it, just like everything he focuses himself on. Don't be a hata now! *Thew - Guitar, Vocals Hailing from Flagler, Matt has been writing music and performing in bands since he was a teenager. His unique sense of melody and rhythm are a cornerstone of the sons sound. *Stevie Sunshine - Guitar, Vocals Raised in the high desert of Central Oregon, Stevie moved to Seattle in the late 1980's and spent 6 years writing music and playing in clubs, the most notable act being the band Flaw, which at the height of it's popularity was a solid draw in clubs like the off ramp, RCKNDY, and Under The Rail. After a 12 year hiatus from playing music, he discovered he had an itch that still needed to be scratched. And just in time too, 'cause here comes the sons.
