Back to the 60’s & 70’s with robust, rich blues-rock

With a juicy bite of psychedelic blues rock that owes something to Led Zeppelin, The Animals, The Doors, The Black Crows and the slightly more recent The Raconteurs (Jack White) and The Black Keys, Rival Sons (from Long Beach California) flings us all the way back to the classic rock of the irrepressible sixties & seventies.

Figurehead/golden voice Jay Buchanan and his brothers have contributed four longplayers since 2009, with ‘Great Western Valkyrie’ as latest exploit (via extreme metal label Earache). Once again, Rival Sons delivers a dynamic album full of finely orchestrated songs in which Buchanan's imposing vocals play a central role together with the epic riffs squeezed by snare-plucker Scott Holiday from his Gibson Firebird.

Robust, rousing rock and roll with a whopping live-reputation!
