Bio
Gadgets Sons was founded in 2017 by Charles Ian Ireland (Guitar/Vox) and Phillip Mofadi (Drums). Rather than spending precious time searching for a bassist they began self-producing tracks out of Ireland's own Backshack Studio and playing shows as a two piece.
Garnering attention for their earthshaking live performances the band has developed a dedicated loyal following. Incorporating multiple styles of metal into a unique blend showcasing scorching vocals and soaring solos cascading over brutally punishing rhythms guarantees a distinctive listening experience.
After winning a battle of the bands for a spot at Rocklahoma in October 2019, they immediately released their self-titled debut in November 2019. Gadgets Sons continues to write, produce, and record their second album amidst this pandemic and are poised to release new music in 2021.
