"Having had the pleasure of getting to know Sons Of Shem intimately and witnessing their electrifying live performances on numerous occasions, I can confidently say this quartet is a force to be reckoned with! Their unique blend of nu-metal and rap-rock is characterized by powerful energy, infectious grooves, and a genuine passion for empowering their community and the world through their music. The dynamic interplay of male and female vocals adds another layer of depth to their sound. What truly stands out about Sons Of Shem is their unwavering commitment to every performance, regardless of the crowd size. They pour their hearts and souls into their music, always leaving the audience energized and uplifted. Furthermore, their role as a supportive pillar within the Durban music scene is truly commendable.
If you're looking for a band that delivers powerful music with a positive message and an unforgettable live show, look no further than Sons Of Shem."

"I've had the pleasure of seeing Sons of Shem live several times, and every performance reinforces my respect for their professionalism and stage presence. Their dynamic sound - an eclectic fusion of alternative rock infused with African rhythmic elements - has consistently set them apart, often outshining the rest of the lineup. Each band member brings a wealth of experience and dynamic elements to the stage, and it shows in how they command the audience’s energy, keeping the crowd engaged and entertained throughout the set. I truly enjoy their style, which masterfully navigates a spectrum from laid-back, easy grooves to heavier, more energetic moments, offering a refreshing combination that makes every song and show a great experience."

"This band completely caught me off guard, in the best possible way. They hit the stage and from the very first note, you feel it: this isn’t just music, it’s a full-on experience. It’s raw, it’s real, and it lands exactly where it needs to. They’ve nailed that balance between power and passion — you kinda want to scream, dance, and cry all at once. And that takes a special kind of band to pull off. I love how they don’t just blend their sound — that rap-rock fusion just works — but also how they move together on stage. The connection between the members is next level. It’s not just four people playing songs, it’s four people creating something bigger than themselves. And none of them hold back. They give everything.

And then there's Leb – vocalist, bassist, and honestly, barefoot prophet of groove. Always shoeless on stage, he brings this earthy, grounded presence that somehow makes the chaos feel spiritual. It's like he’s plugged straight into the floor, drawing up every bit of energy and sending it back out through the music. It’s wild, and beautiful, and so real. What really earned my respect, though, is their heart for community. It’s not that “come watch us” energy — it’s “come be part of this with us.” That’s rare. And that’s how you know they’re doing this for the right reasons. Honestly, I feel like Sons of Shem is a band that’s carving out something real and I don’t think we’ve even seen the half of what they’re capable of yet...

If you haven’t listened to them yet — seriously, you’re missing out."

"Sons Of Shem constantly blows me away. They have a mesmerising way of getting you hooked on their bass driven sound and punchy lyrics with a strong message. They’re the complete package for sure!"
