About Me |
|
| The United Sons of Toil are a band from Madison WI. The Sons are Bill Borowski (The Arge, Atalanta, Knuckeldrager), Chad Burnett (Houndrunner, Colony of Watts), and Russell Hall (P'elvis, Pound WI). The music is loud, noisy, and occasionally catchy. Think mathrock of the era when Touch and Go, AmRep, and Dischord lorded over the indie-rock landscape.
