Rival Sons

Add Date: January 24 

Artist: Rival Sons

Album: Pressure & Time

Label: Earache

Genre: Rock

Comments: In an indie rock and folk-dominated alternative music scene, it's hard to find a band ripping pure rock & roll from their amplifiers. Rival Sons, though not great, are a band reminiscent of the bygone days of classic rock. Hailing from California and upholding spirituality and veganism (which naturally go hand in hand), Rival Sons' second studio album, Pressure & Time, serves as an ode to '70s rock bands like Led Zeppelin, while also displaying some Guns N' Roses tendencies. A driving album, every song excepting the last clocks in at close to three minutes, with soaring guitar hooks and vocals, in which rock & roll purists will undoubtedly find solace. Some may cast Rival Sons off as a simple revivalist band. Only future works will tell.

Listen to tracks 4, 7 and 2.
