Sons of Day are a new band I have come across recently which are pretty good. They are an four piece alternative rock band that have come out of Oregon, Portland and well

SOD was discovered by Darren Bowls of Red Hammer Records in the spring of 2006, and began recording their first two radio singles “This Place” and “Reconcile” for the label during the summer of 2006. Fragile People is their first full length CD offering an internationally laced rock sound that is fresh and original, yet mainstream.

SOD’s desire is to express their music as real life, authentic, and human, a true reflection of who they are as people. Band or fan, life’s joys and difficulties are the same to both. To quote “Fragile People” the title track from SOD’s new CD release, “We’re fragile people, we hurt sometimes - We don’t know where to go.” We all walk through life’s journey searching for our purpose whether a rich man or a beggar. Their journey started on a different continent, a place where God was not allowed and where people suffered for their beliefs in Christ. Their musical perspective is a unique one, with one foot set in America and another set in Europe, with an ocean of culture between them. For them another day is starting in America, a day in which they hope to share a little piece of themselves with those who will listen. “Our secret plan is to inspire our listeners to pursue their dreams, their America, and ultimately God. Music is our picture, our experiences of love, loss, joy, pain, family, humanity, and the discovery of God’s gift to us, Christ. We hope you enjoy this small piece of our lives.”
