Preachers Son is the brainchild of Dubliner Brian Hogan. Alongside a collective of mighty guests, he has created a grit-glam, blues-tinged, swamp-rock sound with craggy guitars and weighty vocals dripping with drama and raw musicality.

Guest artists on the album include Gavin Friday and Liam Ó Maonlaí. Earlier this year Preachers Son released single "Come On" and to date have enjoyed radio play on both Irish and UK national and regional radio stations including BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, Kerrang, Q, Total Rock, Dune 107.2, BFBS, RTÉ 1 FM, RTÉ 2 FM, Nova, and 98 FM amongst others.
