“Sons of Samson knows how to write a song from the chorus right down to the hook; at first listen you will think it’s a song you have heard on the radio and will be singing along by the end of it!”

— Brandon Mize, Rival Entertainment, Performance review at Vinyl-Center Stage ATL

“Sons of Samson's single "Take me away" is now added to our rotation here at suckfreeradio.com! I'm looking forward to hearing more from these guys! "Take Me Away" is just the type of music that Suckfree Radio likes to promote. It doesn't suck one bit! ”

— Sarah Anne Kuhns, Sons of Samson aired on "Suckfreeradio.com"

“Sons of Samson recognized as one of the best New Modern Rock Bands of 2012!!”

— Gaspare Valenti, Best New Modern Rock Bands of 2012

“Remember when Joe Cocker walked out on the stage at Woodstock in 1969 and stunned all those hippies with a gut-punch version of "With A Little Help From My Friends"? Expect something similar on Saturday when Sam Koon, the lead singer of the band Sons of Samson from Atlanta, takes over the headline slot for the annual SouthWoodstock festival. Koon carries a reputation for rattling the rafters and frightening smaller mammals with the power of his voice. (Expect less gob-smacked hippies in the audience, though.) The music gets started at noon with Colleen Nixon. The rest of the musical day features such Tallahassee talent as Rhythm Abuse (1:10 p.m.), the Drew Tillman Band (2:20 p.m.), the rowdy King Cotton blues brigade (3:30 p.m.), Livingston Road (4:40 p.m.) and Sons of Samson (5:50 p.m.).”

— Mark Hinson, TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT "SouthWoodstock"

“Sam's vocal coach, Dionne Osborne quotes: Sam Koon is simply one of the best vocalists I’ve ever worked with...hands down. His vocal swagger and honesty speaks to any fan looking for music they can both relate to and rock even harder. Son of Samson’s radio-ready songs with their viral vocal & guitar hooks complete the picture that is today’s hot new rock act. America, count me as a fan of this guy’s pipes and the songs that he truly owns! -Dionne Osborne,Vocal Coach Jan Smith Studios,Inc.”

— Dionne Osborne, Dionne Osborne review on Sam Koon

“With their new EP, Sons of Samson have continued to exhibit their radio-friendly, catchy rock-and-roll songs in a balanced fashion. Opening with a haunting intro, the EP immediately grips the listener. Lead singer Sam Koon has enormous strength behind his voice, and the best part is he's not just a front-man; he's also a skilled guitarist, as we seen on tracks like "Out there" and “Wicked Witch.” His lyrics explore a range of subjects from a desire for freedom to relationship qualms and blisses, and Koon oscillates skillfully between vulnerability (i.e. “Stay” etc. - which also showcases Koon's poignant falsetto) to boldness (i.e. “Break”). With soaring choruses and addictiveness, these songs deserve to be widely heard. ”

— Matthew Sherling, Sons of Samson EP review

“World renowned Vocal Coach JAN SMITH (Vocal Coach of Rob Thomas, Usher, & Justin Bieber) quotes: "Sam Koon is a rustic rock singer with blazing original songs that can punch you in the heart and slap the truth straight upside your head. With a southern sensitivity, but a man's man approach, Sam is a unique blend of tough and tender." -Jan Smith, Owner Jan Smith Studios, Inc.”

Questions

Ask Sons of Samson anything...

Q: how did u decide2call urselves SONS OF SAMSON?

A: The lead singer,Sam was supposed to be named Samson when he was born. But instead he was just named Sam. Samson was Sam's favorite Biblical character because his strength and power was undeniable. The idea to be a "Son" or "Sons" of someone with such strength, power, and passion seemed to be appealing as a music genre, as well as a band name!
