Portland, United States (2008 present) In a world that needs Rock N Roll more then ever, at a time when the music establishment continues to overflow with cookie cutter pop, rap and metal, in a place thats know more for their lobsters than for their maddening solos Sun Gods In Exile have arrived to bring some honest to god hard rock to the masses that so desperately need it. Like a Bottle of Jack Daniels at a Mormon Wedding the SGIE are preaching the gospel of rock and roll through loud as ~censored~ Marshall stacks and they wont be happy until all of Salt Lake City is converted. Formed in early 2008 by four guys that worship at the alter of vintage rock, Sun Gods In Exile is more than the sum of their respected pasts. After a brief stint in Bostons Cortez, Portland, Maine guitarist Anthony DAgostino hooked up with old friend bassist JL, late of Ocean, to get back to basics and to play the kind of old school rock and roll that they both love. Augmented by the rock steady addition of Johnny Kennedy on drums and centered around the southern-fried vocals (and guitar) of Adam Hitchcock the boys of SGIE quickly became a club favorite all along the eastern seaboard, garnering opening slots with many including Roadsaw, Hackman, Mess With The Bull, The Brought Low and many others. Hearing what Tony & Co. had we here at Small Stone quickly signed Sun Gods In Exile and sent them into Mad Oak Studios in Allston, Massachusetts with engineer Benny Grotto (Roadsaw, Dixie Witch, Solace, A Thousand Knives Of Fire).
