Band history edit
At the end of 2019 the band started recording their EP Another Mile. When the EP was ready for release in April 2020, the band name Fourth Son South was chosen. Having three elder brothers and hailing from The Netherlands, Peter was the Fourth Son, going South.
The world turned to lockdown with Covid-19, which resulted that the band had to cancel all touring plans.Peter wrote and recorded a bunch of songs that formed the basis of their first full length album titled The Sounds Around Your Head.[2][3] When rehearsals could resume the band recruited guitarist Dale McHardy to perfect the live sound. The Sounds Around Your Head was released in November 2020 and received well around the world.[4][5]
In July 2021 the band released the single Hold On with plans of another EP still in 2021.
