Tampa alternative rock group, Sons of Hippies, are gearing up to release their latest album Griffons at the Gates of Heaven this July.

Sons of Hippies are setting a high-note for Summer 2013 tours and music releases. The Florida native alt rock group is releasing their latest album Griffons at the Gates of Heaven on July 16, 2013 via Cleopatra Records. Having signed to Cleopatra Records in December 2012 and releasing their last EP, Fade to White, in late 2011, fans are excited to hear what the Sons have come up with next.
The band has released some screen shots for eager followers on the Sons of Hippies Facebook fan page, which include bloodied band members Jonas Canales and Katherine Kelly. Bassist David Daly wasn’t left out in this classic Sons of Hippies video, participating in an S&M gag scene amidst half-naked debauchery. The video can easily be described in the same manner someone would describe the band; Transparent, colorful, edgy with touch of the bizarre. The Sons’ Tumblr stands as a testament to their description with imagery from the band themselves including captions like, “This band sucks.” Their Twitter account gives fans an epic account of their comedic lives, touring and intimate moments with the band. Their new video for their latest single, “Rose,” premiering on mxdwn, embodies each of these elements, with a bubble-gum pop, vintage inspired backdrop combined with a sinister twist. Accompanying the likewise aggressive and harmonious track, this video makes for a fun and unique viewing experience.
The album will be available for purchase on July 16th and the full album is available for pre-order on iTunes now. You can go see Sons of Hippies live at one of their shows Summer 2013. Their US tour dates are available on their site www.SonsofHippies.net.
