Black Eyed Sons is a relatively new name on the rock scene, but behind the name are experienced musicians from the band The Quireboys. Their debut album Cowboys in Pinstriped Suits clearly shows that they are not beginners—but seasoned rock musicians with a distinct love for classic, 70s-inspired rock.
Musically, Black Eyed Sons move within a universe of classic rock, blues, and rootsy rock’n’roll, clearly inspired by bands like The Rolling Stones and The Faces. The album is often described as a blend of old-school rock attitude and modern energy, making it both nostalgic and fresh at the same time.
I think that one of their greatest strengths is their songwriting. The album is filled with strong, well-crafted rock tracks with great melodies and plenty of energy. Songs like Lie To Me and Foolin’ Yourself deliver exactly that classic rock feeling with catchy riffs and a raw, bluesy sound.
A distinctive feature of the band is the many guest musicians on the album—including Joe Elliott from Def Leppard and Mike Tramp from White Lion. These collaborations add variety and extra quality.
Black Eyed Sons is not a band trying to reinvent rock music—instead, they refine the classic style to perfection. They deliver solid, honest, and well-played rock that will especially appeal to fans of older British rock. Like granddad here!
