Sunset Sons are a three-piece British-Australian indie band, based out of the town of Hossegor, in the Landes region of the south west of France, known as 'The European Surfing Capital'.

They hit it off and decided to start a band to make some money over the winter season, alongside friends Robin Windram (guitar) and Pete Harper (bass).

They originally formed a covers band called The Cheerleaders, relocating to the French Alps for the winter to perform for the young snowboard crowd in the three valleys, basing themselves predominantly in the towns of Tignes and Val d’Isere.

On relocating back to Hossegor for the summer they changed their name to Sunset Sons and spent every Friday in a local dance studio writing songs.

[citation needed] In January 2015, the band were nominated for the BBC Sound of 2015[7] and MTV Brand New 2015[8] and were named #1 XFM's Great X-Pectations for 2015.

On 9 August 2015, the band said they were re-working their debut album, admitting that they got some of the tracks back from their time in Nashville and they could have been better, and that they would re-record certain things with an aim to finish it by end of summer 2015.

[13] In October 2015 the band joined Imagine Dragons as the main support for their European arena tour, covering 35 dates through Germany, France, Belgium, United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, The Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Italy and Switzerland.

They released a single, "On The Road" (produced by Jacquire King, a re-recording of the original demo), on 16 October 2015 through the French Exit label, to support the Imagine Dragons tour.

[15] In August 2016 it was announced the band had been nominated for Best Live Act at the 2016 AIM (Association of Independent Music) Awards, alongside Wolf Alice, Babymetal, Caravan Palace and Courteeners.

[16] The band subsequently embarked on a UK and European tour culminating in a sold-out show at London's Shepherds Bush Empire.

In August 2019 the band announced their second album Blood Rush Déjà Vu on Bad Influence, also produced by Catherine Marks, would be released on 1 November 2019.
