Stumbled onto the band after seeing their guitar player in Guitar Player magazine....Kinda intrigued!! Any love for these guys around here?
 
Rival Sons are awesome!! There are not many new bands that I get into. They are original and have some great songs. I'm trying to learn more about them but most of the songs I've heard I really like.
 
Kind of a cross of Bad Company or Free, Deep Purple and some others. Maybe Zep.
 
Well, original is the last word I'd use to describe them, but I dig them.
Got their latest album. It's cool.
 
I have been raving about this band for some time now.

Caught there show in Sweden, that aired on Palladia.

Amazing vocals, songwriting...and yes original for this era...although throwback they really deliver something that I don't think anyone else is doing right now.

Bands like them, KingsX, Everything Everything, etc. will never appear on the Grammys, as it is not recognizing anything that is not canned crap.

Oh well.

Anyway...love that band!!
 
my band cover Pressure & Time by them, it kills every time. Kind of an old school feel for a new band. I love 'em.
 
Got turned on to these guys back in 2010 -- a bit derivative but well executed. The singer is ridiculously good and Scott gets some tasty fuzz tones.
 
Love Rival Sons! Scott Holiday is the man, him and his Pelham Blue 1999 Gibson Custom Historic Firebird VII :rock:
 
Yep.... as I said before... I think Rival Sons, The Winery Dogs... and a few others are the ones carrying the Rock n Roll torch currently. Talent, musicianship, attitude, and good songs. Rival Sons just started work on their 6th album!! New Winery Dogs out in a couple weeks. :rock: :rock: :rock: :cheers:
 
Their songs and tones don't alway hit the mark for me but this guy is definitely one of the best singers in Rock right now. Just nice to hear a "singer" and not a guitar player making do.

 
Agree on the vocals big time. I have listened to quite a few songs and I am really digging these guys. Like Reza said just a great f-n rock band!!
 
Yes...vocals are second to none...and I am a guitar player...this guy f'n knocked me over.

Not just talking about the belting out rock, but also the soft intense stuff.
 
I stumbled upon this video not long ago and was very impressed.

 
So I just downloaded their First S/T EP and actually don't care for the mix that much. Too congested. Anyone recommend a later album where they stepped it up production wise. "Looking" for more space between the instruments and the drums having more snap.
 
Pretty awesome. I do like alot of classic rock and I feel these guys are just as good as any.

Cool to see a modern band doing this well. If they were around in the 60's-70's they very well could be just as monumental as alot of the top notch rock bands from those times.
