Next show: Los Angeles, Thu 25 Feb
The Intemperate Sons burst onto the alternative rock scene in Dallas, TX, in the summer of 2019, immediately distinguishing themselves with a sound that blends searing guitar riffs, haunting melodies, and raw emotional depth. By 2021, their unmistakable talent caught the attention of Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh—legends in the rock world through their work with Orgy, Dead By Sunrise, and Julien-K—who signed the band to their label, Frame|Work. Formed by the Watson family—Keith (drums), Jake (guitars), and Max (vocals, guitars, keys)—alongside longtime friend and bassist Mark Marks, The Intemperate Sons are a family affair with a deep-rooted connection that permeates every note they play. The Intemperate Sons offer a compelling take on alternative rock, merging the gritty intensity of hard rock with folk and grunge elements. Their music is a dark, introspective journey that resonates with the soul, drawing comparisons to iconic bands like Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and R.E.M. The familial bond between the Watson clan manifests in their unique sound—a blend of guitar-driven anthems and intricate vocal harmonies that echo long after the final chord.
