Sons of Kyuss is the eponymous debut EP by American rock band Kyuss, released in 1990 under the group's original name, Sons of Kyuss. The band released it independently as a vinyl record, pressing only 500 copies and according to Mario Lalli, gave several away to friends the day the LPs showed up in the hands of the band. Following this release, the band shortened its name to Kyuss and included these recordings of the songs "Deadly Kiss" and "Black Widow" on their first full-length album, Wretch (1991), while re-recording "Love Has Passed Me By", "Katzenjammer", and "Isolation Desolation" for the album (the latter song's title was shortened to "Isolation").

Notably Sons of Kyuss was reissued on CD in 2000 and on LP in 2009 as a "fanclub" release but is often cited as a bootleg. Discogs.com has since banned the bootlegs from sale on their site, the only exception being the original clear vinyl.
