Shortly thereafter, the Sons were approached by James Oldham (head of the UK independent Loog Records) to release a four-song single in Europe entitled the Treason EP.
With less than ten official shows under their belts, the Sons headed off to Europe to tour in support of Treason.
On their return to New York, Vice Recordings, who had expressed interest from the earliest demos, offered the band a long-term deal.
The Sons recorded Down Beside Your Beauty in Brooklyn in January, with Victor Van Vugt coming in as mixer the following month.
