Rock, Indie, Experimental | Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Surrender. Those nine letters described a discouraged, burned-out heart as Aaron Newberry gave up his dream of creating music that he could truly and wholeheartedly love. After touring with many successful, renowned acts, Newberry found himself looking to piece together a music venture of his own. “I recorded everything on my own. It was just a solo project. I couldn’t find members, and I wasn’t happy with my current writing and circumstances. I just gave up and quit.” However, this breaking point was just what was needed.
As Newberry surrendered his prior aspirations of making Sons of God a household name, God began working through four previously established friendships. The results of this obedience, trust, and patience became evident as Jacob Bundren partnered with him in his musical aspirations. "The following week I received a phone call," Newberry recalls. It was a phone call that ultimately led Kyle Laster, Alex Rust and Jordan McGee to merge with and therefore complete the Sons of God lineup.
Lyrically, Sons of God talks about doubt, grace, sanctification, and many other aspects of spiritual life. They write in hopes of challenging listeners not to accept complacency, but to continue to learn and move forward. Musically, the sound that emanates truly is one of epic proportions. With an unmistakably darker tone, Sons of God hopes to capture what would be the “soundtrack to the book of Revelation” by exploring the dark and even frightening aspects of what the future holds.
2009 band line-up: Aaron Newberry (Vocals/Guitar/Percussion), Zachary Wurzbach (Bass), John Burton (Guitar/Keys)
Sons of God changed their name to SONS before releasing their debut full-length album, "Keep Quiet" in 2012. They later released an acoustic EP called "Keep Quieter" before disbanding.
