RIVAL SONS: 'Face Of Light' Video Released". www.blabbermouth.net. Blabbermouth. April 30, 2012 . Retrieved December 21, 2018. So 2023s first of two albums from Rival Sons has dropped and this is a monster and a brilliant follow up to the amazing Feral Roots. Storm Thorgerson, who had worked with bands such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Genesis, created the cover art for the album voluntarily. [12] [13] Thorgerson liked Rival Sons, saying about the cover art: After the success of Before the Fire, the band recorded a self-titled EP (independently released) in 2010, which caught the attention of Earache Records founder Digby Pearson and the band was offered a record deal in November 2010. The signing led to the band immediately recording the album Pressure & Time on the Earache label in early 2011. Their self-titled EP was re-released digitally by Earache Records in February 2011, from which their debut European single, "Torture", was taken. [5]

Long Beach’s Rival Sons have announced a sprawling 30-date European tour for October 2023, which will see the band play eight UK venues, before heading on to continental Europe. At album number seven a band is either cutting a path or struggling to stay relevant and Darkfighter is definitely nowhere near the latter. Rival Sons for me are still far too underrated and as a live act they are unstoppable so hopefully Darkfighter breaks them to a new level and the follow up Lightbringer burts them to superior heights.

Jay Buchanan stated that "You need to shift and constantly find new soil" within the creative process, taking eight months to write and record the Grammy nominated album instead of all their previous work which took less than six weeks. [39] Style and influences [ edit ] Four years after Feral Roots, and with the pandemic thankfully vanishing in the rearview mirror, Rival Sons return with Darkfighter, their seventh album. It’s not so much the sound of a reinvention as that of a band recalibrated and revitalised. All the parts that were there before remain – singer Jay Buchanan’s high-wire vocal acrobatics, Scott Holiday’s shape-shifting guitar, a rhythm section that hits hard but supple – but they sound simultaneously sharper, deeper and more intense. This feels like every hope has flown away and only realisation is left. It leaves you thinking about your own life and where you are, how you treat your loved ones and how low a soul can go and how fleeting hope can be if you let it. After a rest Rival Sons began the second leg of the US tour playing dates in California including The Fillmore in San Francisco and a sold-out show at the legendary The Troubadour. More Fall 2014 US Tour dates included shows in Arizona, Nebraska, Nevada, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland and New Jersey.

Jay Buchanan stars as Preacher who throws dynamite in verse in the Nobody Wants To Die video and features the band’s vintage cars [Scott’s 1956 Pontiac Chieftain and Jay’s 1982 Mercedes 300SD] while stunt-driving across the California desert. The film was directed by Eli Sokhn.

It’s ostentatious and even maddening at times, but there’s no faulting the ambition”: XTC’s The Big Express In 2006 Holiday came across Buchanan while searching on MySpace for a singer. Drummer Michael Miley had previously worked with Buchanan (as well as having been in Veruca Salt and the Carson Daly TV show band) and he had met bassist Robin Everhart playing at a benefit concert at Isaac Hayes house for Hurricane Katrina in Long Beach. The union of Holiday, Buchanan, Everhart and Miley led to the formation of Rival Sons. Lead guitarist Scott Holiday added, “Records are a healthy form of escapism. I hope this one takes you as far away as possible. Our intent was to create a cinematic body of work. As soon as the doors shut behind you, you’re enveloped on the ride. This is the sound of us really coming into our own. We’ve gotten further from our influences and gotten closer to what we are. DARKFIGHTER sounds like the Rival Sons.” Rapture” really has the feel of the dark side of these two albums. The slow burning, soulful piece cries out in pain, it has a desperation to it that is at the bottom of well of emotion but all the while it is looking upwards at the light and how to get there. The lyrics are striving to break out of a downward spiral and the music just layers that feeling.
