Review of the Glorious Sons in Royal Oak: We Have Seen the Glory!

Live review.

By Jason Hoffman, Rock At Night Detroit

Live Review: The Glorious Sons at Royal Oak Music Theatre, Royal Oak, Michigan-September 21, 2023

The Glorious Sons are out on tour in support of their latest album Glory, which is the fourth album released since the band was formed in 2011. The Sons have been going non-stop since then–whether out as a headliner or as support for such acts as Greta Van Fleet and even The Rolling Stones.

Opening up for the Glorious Sons was the Velveteers , a band out of Boulder, Colorado. This heavy- hitting trio blend a mix of garage punk with vintage hard rock. Their set was full of songs off of their album Nightmare Daydream, which was released in 2021.

The Glorious Sons, Kingston 04/15/22 photo Elliott Deseure

Earlier this month,  The Glorious Sons  delivered the resilient brand-new single ‘ Mercy Mercy ’ in partnership with Warner Music Canada and ADA along with the visualizer HERE . Sounding both familiar and unprecedented, ‘ Mercy Mercy ’ displays a remarkably vivid sonic approach alongside, heartfelt lyricism while amplifying the multi-platinum certified band’s more anthemic and unapologetically ambitious side. Available on all major streaming platforms and radio now, the track was the most added song at both Alternative and Active Rock radio last week.

Of the single, lead singer / songwriter Brett Emmons shares, “Mercy Mercy is my own quiet little prayer. It’s me fighting through some twisted process of self-forgiveness and acceptance. It’s a glimpse into my inner dialogue, however hilarious or concerning that might sound. A friend told me that this album sounds like someone at war in their own mind. In that context, I think this song is about faith in oneself, and one’s future—even if the past is always still there . ”

Produced by Brett Emmons and Frederik Thaae ‘ Mercy Mercy’ is a testament to The Glorious Sons, and in particular Emmons, ability to conquer his own bullshit and let go of the harmful narratives one often serves rent free to their cerebral centre point. A reflection of the struggles one faces, the song dives into the depths of the human experience, exploring themes of redemption, vulnerability, and the relentless pursuit of personal growth.  With its spirited chorus, and vast depth of artistic input, ‘ Mercy M ercy’ is a sonic journey that demands to be heard.

Hailing from Kingston, Ontario, The Glorious Sons have steadily pushed the boundaries of modern rock music – by consistently being deeply personal and wholly universal. Their previous releases have garnered critical acclaim and commercial success earning them multiple JUNO Awards, sold-out tours, and a dedicated global fanbase. ‘Mercy Mercy’ marks the next milestone in the band’s career and serves as the first track off their fourth studio album “ Glory ” due out this fall.

The Glorious Sons’ Glory Tour is an Odyssey of Resilience and Triumph

Posted by Dan Savoie | Nov 3, 2023 | Interviews

In an exclusive interview, Brett Emmons, the band’s charismatic vocalist, delved into the intricacies of tour life, the therapeutic power of their music, and the invaluable lessons from sharing stages with legendary acts like The Rolling Stones and Pearl Jam.

“Exercise is critical. I’ve been doing a lot more for this tour,” Emmons began. “I’ve quit smoking, too — or let’s say, I’ve cut back dramatically. The objective is to take care of my voice. You’re juggling responsibilities, whether that’s family back home or interviews like this, but at the end of the day, it’s about adapting.”

The band’s schedule is tightly packed. According to Emmons, apart from a three-hour window of downtime, their days are filled with sound checks, VIP meet-and-greets, and, of course, the nightly show. “My brother has it even worse. He’s managing four bands while also being in this one. From dawn till dusk, he’s on calls,” Emmons disclosed, emphasizing the rigors of their regimen.

While the demands are high, for Emmons, the road feels like home. “I find myself happier on the road often. When I’m back home, I become this guy who makes a plethora of lists just to give myself a sense of purpose. If I’m not writing music, I get restless, pondering, ‘What do I do now?’”

A raw chronicle of resilience and redemption, “Mercy Mercy” serves as an incandescent introduction to the Glory Tour. Produced by Emmons and Frederik Thaae, and released in partnership with Warner Music Canada, the single delves into the intricacies of the human experience with the band’s signature blend of authenticity and musical ambition. “Mercy Mercy is a testament to conquering my own struggles, letting go of harmful narratives,” Emmons said. “It’s about the depth of human struggles, the relentless pursuit of personal growth. The song demanded to be heard.”

“The song started with a riff that I would just play over and over again,” continues Emmons. “It was in Nashville when I realized I was about 30 at the time and I just wanted to put that struggle of me against the world in my mind and just kind of move on. ‘Mercy’ is essentially a song about maturity and accepting who you are while taking life as it comes.”

Emmons not only serves as the charismatic vocalist of The Glorious Sons, but also played a significant role as co-producer of “Glory,” the band’s upcoming fourth studio album. “It was a natural progression,” Emmons explained. “I had been so close to these songs for so long that there was no way I wasn’t going to have a significant hand in how they turned out. To have someone like Frederik in the room, who has been a long-standing collaborator, meant that I didn’t have to be heavy-handed. We had a cohesive vision, and I had a lot of opinions about the songs.”

“It’s always going to be the same band with just a different twist from album to album,” he noted. “I’m the type of guy who wants to react to our past selves from album to album. For instance, if this album is anthemic and softer, the next one could be more bare bones and crunchy. We change, accept that change, and continue forth.”

Despite their soaring popularity and commercial success, The Glorious Sons have taken a step back from the immediate hit-seeking approach, aiming instead to create a cohesive body of work that stands the test of time.

“It should be about following your heart and hoping for the best,” Emmons opined. “We’ve been very lucky, but I don’t want to be sitting here 50 years later looking at songs that I don’t really like. I want to be looking at bodies of work that I’m proud of and that stand the test of time.”

Born from a year defined by isolation and introspection from the COVID-19 pandemic, “Glory” finds Emmons channeling a newfound self-awareness into a work of sweeping, emotional and musical range. “I don’t want to put an exact number on it, but we recorded well over 40 songs for this album, apart from the ones that made the cut,” Emmons recalled. “It took a really long time to find the writing voice for this album. It was about halfway through the pandemic that I cracked the code with ‘Glory.’ It became a stream of consciousness, an internal journey because the external world was unavailable.”

As for the musical development, Emmons attributes the band’s evolution to more than just individual growth. “When you’re shaping the sound of an album, it’s six guys coming together, fitting their puzzle pieces into one big thing,” he said. “Everyone goes through changes during that period. While I might evolve, so might Jay, my brother. His style of playing might change slightly, adding another layer to our collective identity.”

Fans also have more music to look forward to in the future. Emmons hinted at the existence of unreleased tracks from the “Glory” sessions, saying, “Some of the songs that didn’t make the album are very exciting. There’s talk of B-side stuff, but we’re still only a month out from releasing ‘Glory.’”

Band transitions have also contributed to the tour’s narrative. Steve Kirstein, the band’s new guitarist and a long-time engineer for the group, has seamlessly fit into the existing ecosystem. “It’s a fragile thing, a band. You can’t just bring in any good player and expect things to work out,” Emmons explained. “We knew with Steve that he wasn’t going to walk all over people. He was the next man up in our minds.”

It’s not just about the music for The Glorious Sons; it’s about the shared human experience. The album’s title, “Glory,” captures the essence of the band’s collective and individual journeys. “One of our best friends, Craig Turner, used to say, ‘Well, that’s the price of glory.’ It’s a beautiful way to describe life,” Emmons revealed. “This album was about people who are close to me, about the isolation we all felt. That’s the price of glory, and it’s a price we’re willing to pay.”

The live performances, as Emmons sees it, are vital in interpreting songs from their forthcoming album “Glory.” “The live aspect is paramount,” he insisted. “When we started, we had no idea what a producer was. Our job was to play in bars and ensure that the audience came back. A good show for me is one where I’m drenched in sweat, having moved around the stage knowing that the crowd had an amazing time.”

Sharing a bill with iconic stars has been enlightening for the band. “You always learn something,” Emmons said, recounting the time they opened for The Rolling Stones. “Mick Jagger, at 75, had this incredible stamina and command over the stage. He taught me the essence of pacing yourself while also taking control. But most importantly, the third time we supported them was our best performance because we didn’t put undue pressure on ourselves. We savored the moment and were genuinely grateful.”

As The Glorious Sons set out to conquer the fall and winter, with highly anticipated dates in London on December 2 and Kitchener on December 16, their journey is more than just a tour; it’s an ever-evolving narrative that encapsulates the essence of modern rock. And Brett Emmons and his crew are prepared to deliver their most authentic, unapologetically ambitious chapter yet.

New Single “Mercy Mercy” Is The Most Added Track At Both Alternative & Active Rock Radio

Following the release of their brand-new single “Mercy Mercy” two-time JUNO Award-winning rock band The Glorious Sons have announced the Glory Tour , kicking off this September with dates across North America. The Glory Tour will feature special guests The Blue Stones and the Velveteers on select dates.

Beginning September 6 in Pittsburgh, PA, the North American run will visit 57-cities in both the U.S. and Canada, making stops in Nashville, Boston, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Edmonton, Calgary, Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, and more before wrapping in St. Catharines on February 17, 2024. The tour will also feature a special hometown show, with the band taking over Kingston, ON’s Leon’s Centre on December 31 to ring in the New Year. The Glorious Sons’ pre[1]sale begins today (June 20) at 3pm ET exclusively in the TGS Union App , followed by the Spotify pre-sale on June 21 at 10am local time. The public on sale is confirmed for June 23 at 10am local time. A limited number of VIP packages which include a pre-show acoustic set and other exclusive experience and merchandise are available beginning today at 3pm ET.

Earlier this month, The Glorious Sons delivered the resilient brand-new single ‘Mercy Mercy’ in partnership with Warner Music Canada and ADA along with the visualizer HERE . Sounding both familiar and unprecedented, ‘Mercy Mercy’ displays a remarkably vivid sonic approach alongside, heartfelt lyricism while amplifying the multi-platinum certified band’s more anthemic and unapologetically ambitious side. Available on all major streaming platforms and radio now, the track was the most added song at both Alternative and Active Rock radio last week.

Of the single, lead singer / songwriter Brett Emmons shares, “Mercy Mercy is my own quiet little prayer. It’s me fighting through some twisted process of self-forgiveness and acceptance. It’s a glimpse into my inner dialogue, however hilarious or concerning that might sound. A friend told me that this album sounds like someone at war in their own mind. In that context, I think this song is about faith in oneself, and one’s future—even if the past is always still there.”

Produced by Brett Emmons and Frederik Thaae ‘Mercy Mercy’ is a testament to The Glorious Sons, and in particular Emmons, ability to conquer his own bullshit and let go of the harmful narratives one often serves rent free to their cerebral centre point. A reflection of the struggles one faces, the song dives into the depths of the human experience, exploring themes of redemption, vulnerability, and the relentless pursuit of personal growth. With its spirited chorus, and vast depth of artistic input, ‘Mercy Mercy’ is a sonic journey that demands to be heard.

Hailing from Kingston, Ontario, The Glorious Sons have steadily pushed the boundaries of modern rock music – by consistently being deeply personal and wholly universal. Their previous releases have garnered critical acclaim and commercial success earning them multiple JUNO Awards, sold-out tours, and a dedicated global fanbase. ‘Mercy Mercy’ marks the next milestone in the band’s career and serves as the first track off their fourth studio album “Glory” due out this fall.

Glory by The Glorious Sons

The Glorious Sons 4th studio album, Glory, is deep, emotional and moving!

Review by Ike Thomas

The Glorious Sons have questions, deep questions about life and all that comes with it. And they also have something to say about it. Their fourth album Glory opens the door to what is and what could be, where it could lead and where it could all end up.

Glory leads the listener through an introspective look at real life, examining the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that make up the human experiment in much the same way a beautiful painting requires proper lighting in order to be fully and truly revealed to the beholder.

Generating strong beats and reaching into a deep, thoughtful place Glory makes the case that this album deserves more than a casual listen. With exceptional musicianship, production, and composition Glory is a wonderfully balanced album with sparkling tones and crisp notes that blend to generate a powerful tension while at the same time balancing that with delicate, compassionate feeling musical passages. The music and lyrics of Glory are deserving of close attention. And your attention will be greatly rewarded. Glory is a deep dive album that delivers an experience for the tuned in listener.

Foregoing a track by track, note by note, and word by word rendering of Glory seems most appropriate because this album deserves to be appreciated in its aggregate. Glory is a proper album laid out in a thoughtful, purposeful, and thematic fashion with song lengths that artistically serve the music rather than serving streaming optimization. It’s a musical portrait whose colors may strike you differently in different light, attesting to the depth and doubtless longevity of Glory .

Let it speak to you personally, individually, because it will. In whispers and shouts, in back of the mind thoughts it will take you places if you get on board and go for the ride with The Glorious Sons. When you’ve found the proper space in your head and your heart for Glory , I believe you’ll keep it there for a lifetime. Hold this one close, it’s special.

Glorious Sons have shone their light on this album and it is indeed shining beautifully and brightly for them.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
