The Release Party will be at Jarr Bar in Pretoria this Saturday 7 November

The album consists of 11 original songs (and one cover) written by lead vocalist and guitarist Peter Toussaint as a way to fight depression because of the lockdown. All songs were recorded and produced at the Boathouse Studio. The album boasts a well-balanced arrangement of rock songs with hints of funk, blues and even reggae.
The video for “They Run, We Hide” was posted online on 21 August with great support https://tinyurl.com/video-they-run-we-hide

Fourth Son South is a fresh band from South Africa, albeit far from new, as the members all have heaps of experience. The band was formed by Dutch born Peter Toussaint, a maestro on guitar. After bringing out his solo album One Day in 2018, Peter brought together bass player Franco Jamneck and drummer Carel Viljoen. As a three piece they toured for a while under the name Peter T Band. At the end of 2019, the band recorded their first EP called Another Mile under the name Fourth Son South. This was released in April 2020, just as the world turned to lockdown with Covid-19. During lockdown, Peter wrote and recorded a bunch of songs that now form the basis of their first full length album titled The Sounds Around Your Head. Fourth Son South also recruited guitarist Dale McHardy to perfect the live sound.
