Rival Sons

About

Rival Sons aren't just reviving rock; they're cauterizing its wounds. Emerging from Long Beach, California, the quartet wields a potent blend of blues-infused hard rock and soul-stirring vocals that hark back to the titans of the '70s while forging a sound distinctly their own. Think Led Zeppelin marinated in a gritty, modern sensibility. Formed in 2009, Rival Sons quickly ascended from local favorites to international contenders, fueled by relentless touring and a series of critically acclaimed albums. Their breakthrough came with "Pressure & Time" (2011), a raw, live-sounding record that captured their ferocious energy. Jay Buchanan's commanding vocals, Scott Holiday's fiery guitar work, and the tight rhythm section of Michael Miley and Dave Beste solidified their identity. Rejecting modern recording trends, Rival Sons consistently prioritize analog recording, contributing to their organic and powerful sound. They’ve shared stages with everyone from Black Sabbath to The Rolling Stones, proving their ability to command arenas. With their relentless pursuit of authentic rock and roll, Rival Sons continues to carve a path as one of the most vital and electrifying bands in contemporary music, promising a future filled with equally potent sonic offerings. Their latest release, "DARKFIGHTER," continues to solidify their position as modern rock stalwarts.
