The new Wayward Sons album, “The Truth Ain’t What It Used To Be” is a full-blooded (and full-throttled) R-O-C-K album. The songs within define the band as writers and players, exploding out of your chosen audio player. The record was built on passion and commitment, with an eye on modernity and the human condition, and at this moment in history, have we ever been more challenged? Well, Wayward Sons intend to defy the times and bring a little hope to rock n roll.
Wayward Sons members, handpicked by fearless leader Toby Jepson, are Nic Wastell (bass, Chrome Molly), Phil Martini (drums, Spear Of Destiny, ex Quireboys, Joe Elliot’s Down and Outz), Sam Wood (guitar, a new gunslinger from Treason Kings) and Dave Kemp (keys, ex-Little Angels touring band and long time sideman to Toby) have truly gelled as a unit after the relentless Touring for the band’s debut, “Ghosts Of Yet To Come”. The band played an outstanding number of shows, either as a upporting act for Saxon, Inglorious, Steel Panther, Living Color, and UFO or at such festivals as Download and Ramblin’ Man Fair, and as a headliner.
Passionate, honest music made by passionate honest musicians who have come together to create rock music that reflects their heroes from the ‘70s and ‘80’s – modernity through homage, that’s Wayward Sons.
The return of former LITTLE ANGELS singer Toby Jepson on the scene with WAYWARD SONS was a great event in the British Hard Rock music scene. After the overwhelming success of Little Angels, including a number one album, millions of records sold, massive sell out shows and numerous hit singles, Toby has been busy these past years in movie work, performing with Fastway, Gun, and Dio’s Disciples, and producing albums for numerous bands (Saxon, Fastway, Virginmarys, Toseland, and more).
His heart however, was always in writing and performing and so the concept of WAYWARD SONS was born – a new band, built for playing live. A new direction with Toby’s songs taking centre stage and the debut album “Ghosts Of Yet To Come” was greeted with outstanding critical acclaim and got WAYWARD SONS the title of “Best New Band” at the Planet Rock Awards in 2018.
Look for the band to continue their relentless breakneck touring in support of “The Truth Ain’t What It Used To Be”.
