Sons of Rock is the twenty-sixth studio album (and fifth in English) by the Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, released in 1988 by Blue Dog Records. This album marks the first time the group released entirely original songs in English; previous English albums had only contained translated versions of songs from their Spanish albums.
It featured Ricky Martin, Raymond Acevedo, Sergio Gonzalez, Rubén Gómez and new member Angelo García. Angelo replaced Ralphy Rodríguez, after just one year of tenure, Rodríguez's parents pulled him off the band citing cruel treatment by management.
This is the first English album the band recorded of all new material, without any previous Spanish songs translated into English.
The album has a similar name to the 1987 album Somos Los Hijos del Rock, although the only connection between the two is the more rock-inspired visual and musical style. This release continued Menudo's aesthetic and musical transformation, which began in 1987 after the underperformance of previous albums. where they were welcomed by a substantial number of fans at the airport. The recordings were made live at the American theme park Knott's Berry Farm.
