Sons of the East are an Australian indie folk trio formed in 2011 by Nic Johnston, Dan Wallage, and Jack Rollins.[1] To date, they have released three EPs and a number of singles. The trio has performed at Festival of the Sun,[2] SXSW,[3] and Boardmasters Festival,[4] among other international festivals.

History

Sons of the East released their debut self-titled EP in August 2013, with the leading single "Come Away".[1] In November 2015, they released another EP, Already Gone.[5]

Their third release, the EP Burn Right Through, came out in 2019 and featured the singles "Nothing Comes Easy", "Silver Lining", and "It Must Be Luck".[6] ABC's Dan Condon said of the single, "It Must Be Luck is a guaranteed starter on just about every wedding playlist from here on in", while describing the band as a "rootsy, uber-chilled group with really close-knit harmonies and really strong, pretty songs."[7][3]

In September 2022, the band released their first full-length studio album, Palomar Parade, stating, "Palomar Parade is all of our favourite songs written over the last two years... Some came to us in a day, some came to us over the course of a year, but all of them shone in the sometimes-brutal process of making a record."[8]
