I haven’t dug around too much to learn the history of it, but bands naming songs after themselves is one of my favorite things. There are some great examples in the 70’s, most notably “Bad Company” and “Black Sabbath.” Lots of metal and punk bands were doing it in the 80’s. Belle and Sebastian did it in the 90’s.

Since then the group have put out a handful of songs to tide us over. “Loveletting,” off the Sons EP that came out a little over a year ago is … Continue reading Sons Of An Illustrious Father-Revol
