Sons Of Maxwell
"Sons of Maxwell" is a Canadian music duo who perform both traditional Celtic folk music and original compositions with a pop-folk sound. The duo consists of brothers Dave and Don Carroll, originally from Timmins, Ontario, but residing in Halifax, Nova Scotia since 1994. They began singing together while studying at Carleton University in Ottawa under the band name "The Don and Dave Show". They re-christened themselves S.O.M in 1993, taking their father's first name (Maxwell Carroll) .
In July 2009 the band became an international media sensation when they released the country-style song and music video "United Breaks Guitars," explaining how after United Airlines personnel damaged their musical instruments, the airline refused to take responsibility or give compensation for the loss.
