Interview: Keith Watson (Intemperate Sons) discusses latest single, “Lake of Poison”

Forming in 2019, the Dallas, Texas quartet The Intemperate Sons debuted a robust blend of grunge and folk, indie pop, and electronic music dressings. Last year, the band’s debut album, The Color Within, saw these influences bolstered to an impressive scale, thanks to the additional involvement of John Painter, Amir Derakh, and Mike Marsh in the recording and production processes. Their latest single, “Lake of Poison,” has similarly made the rounds alongside a new batch of songs, which will comprise a follow-up album slated for release early next year.

Tonight, the band heads to Maverick’s in Arlington for a gig with longtime friends Chin’s Mojo, who have recently reunited. Ahead of the show, I caught up with Intemperate Sons’ drummer and primary lyricist, Keith Watson to discuss the band’s material and the endurance of their bond, not only as bandmates but as family.

About Jake Kussmaul

I come from a family who is passionate about all things music. I learned to sing at an early age, and by 13, had my very own Fender Strat guitar. I tried my hardest at learning all that I could. Because I was born with cerebral palsy, I had to teach myself an adaptive playing style. I learned to write and record my own music, despite these difficulties. In college, I started making great use of my writing abilities by reviewing music, as well as copy editing. I guess it's best to stick with what you know, while welcoming a fair challenge at the same time.
