Our Take

Alright, let's hop on this rock 'n' roll rollercoaster that is RIVAL SONS' latest offering, Great Western Valkyrie. Buckle up, because this ride is gonna be wild!

From the moment the needle drops on this album, you're transported to a smoky, whisky-soaked bar in the American Midwest. Picture this: the lights are dim, the guitars are wailing, and lead singer Jay Buchanan's vocals are pure soulful magic. It's like the ghosts of blues legends past are swirling around the room, channeling their energy through every note.

Tracks like "Belle Starr" and "Good Things" are absolute anthems, with enough swagger and attitude to make even the most stoic listener tap their foot along. The band's tight musicianship is on full display here, with every guitar lick and drum fill perfectly crafted to keep you hooked from start to finish.

But it's not all high-energy rock 'n' roll on Great Western Valkyrie. The band also shows off their softer side on tracks like "Where I've Been" and "Destination On Course," proving that they're not afraid to explore different sonic territories.

Overall, RIVAL SONS have delivered a knockout punch with Great Western Valkyrie. It's a masterclass in modern blues-rock that'll leave you craving more with every listen. So grab a drink, turn up the volume, and let yourself get lost in the magic of RIVAL SONS. Trust us, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Rival Sons

RIVAL SONS – Rock 'n' Roll Revivalists or Time-Traveling Troubadours? Hailing from sunny Southern California, RIVAL SONS are a band on a mission to revive the soulful spirit of classic rock 'n' roll. With their bluesy riffs, raw vocals, and retro swagger, these guys are the real deal when it comes to old-school rock vibes. Frontman Jay Buchanan's vocals are a force to be reckoned with, channeling the ghost of Robert Plant with every wail and growl. And the rest of the band – guitarist Scott Holiday, bassist Dave Beste, and drummer Michael Miley – provide the perfect backdrop of groovy rhythms and blistering solos. But don't be fooled by their throwback sound – RIVAL SONS are as modern as they come. Their lyrics tackle timeless themes of love, loss, and rebellion, all set against a backdrop of scuzzy guitars and pounding drums. It's like stepping into a time machine and landing in the midst of a 70s rock concert – in the best possible way. Their live shows are legendary, with Buchanan commanding the stage like a modern-day rock god and Holiday shredding away with reckless abandon. And with a back catalogue of killer tunes like "Pressure and Time", "Electric Man", and "Do Your Worst", RIVAL SONS are a force to be reckoned with in the world of rock music. So if you're craving a taste of that classic rock 'n' roll magic, look no further than RIVAL SONS. Just be prepared to have your mind blown – and your eardrums rocked to the core.
