Ask any connoisseur of classic late-60's/early-70's fuzzed-out, guitar-driven backstreet rock-n-roll (ie: MC5, New York Dolls, The Stooges, etc), and they'll likely tell you that Texas' Sons Of Hercules are one of the mightiest bands on earth.... Fueled by the sneering charisma of veteran vocalist Frank Pugliese, San Antonio’s Sons of Hercules are no-nonsense artisans of raw-powered garage rock, knocking out stellar slabs of Nuggets-flavored noise that would’ve gotten them on Bandstand 40 years ago!
This page is fully authorized by the band, and is being maintained by myself (Jerry C.). The members will be stopping in regularly, so we welcome everyone to post their comments. I will be happy to forward any booking questions & other business inquiries to the powers that be, and you can always send direct E-Mails to the band via the "Contact" link at www.SonsOfHercules.com
Stay tuned.... There's plenty more to come as we build this page (Yes, including a brand new track or two from the upcoming "A Different Kind Of Ugly" CD)!
After ten consecutive theme shows, Mal Thursday is back on the free form tip with this, the 20th episode in the series. Free-form, yes, but with a concept: in addition to a full plate of new releases from the Sons of Hercules, Snowbyrd, the Rationals, the Higher State, and the Texreys, Mal unearths godlike heavy jams from Blue Cheer, the Litter, Rodriguez, and the Troggs, among other heavyweights. A potent brew of Texas garage, Detroit hard rock, and other heavy sounds from all around the world. Presented in Living Monophonic Sound.
'A New Kind Of Ugly' Is Beautiful. Straight ahead - no bullshit rock & roll. This is the album The Stones should have put out, but you beat them to the punch. I love it. You guys make S.A. proud. Keep being beautiful…I mean 'Ugly'. Your friend from The Church of Lost Souls and Car Keys, Rudy
