Sons of the East are an Australian indie-folk trio formed in 2011 by Nic Johnston, Dan Wallage and Jack Rollins.^[1] They issued their debut self-titled extended play in August 2013, which provided their single, "Come Away".^[1] A staff reporter at Undercover.fm News felt the EP was a "soulful blend of keys, banjo, guitar and charismatic vocals are propelling them to higher and higher ground, with audiences struck by their effortlessly timeless songs."^[1]

Chris Familton of The Music caught their performance in November 2013, he observed "Rollins' voice is a special one, a mixture of raspy growl and sweet croon – the deal-breaker amid the fairly narrow stomp and strum modern folk sound they have... [together] with their banjo/guitar/keys sound, throwing in some didgeridoo, harmonica."^[2]

In November 2015 they released another EP, Already Gone, with AirIt's reviewer describing their music as "a saucy, heterogeneous melting pot of diverse indie sounds and sundry folk melodies; a multifarious and motley mix of banjo, organ, piano, guitar, stirring harmonies and the occasional didgeridoo. The result is a modern, alternative folk sound that draws on truly eclectic influences from far and wide, but somehow winds up feeling like home. In other words... It's good."^[3]
