Like a phoenix, Rival Sons, rose from the ashes of Black Summer Crush, Scott Holiday’s former band. They formed in 2009, and endorse a blues-rock style, that has developed their status into being an international chart topping success.

Singer, Jay Buchanan has his reservations about joining a rock band being a blues singer songwriter, but the reaction from their audience grew, especially with the release of their eponymous debut album, Before The Fire in 2009. In their first year united, they supported Alice Cooper and Kid Rock, and even made their debut television appearance during a televised show of The Indianapolis 500.

2011 was a pivotal year for this band, as their sophomore album, “Pressure & Time” released on June 28th 2011, reached number 19 on the US Billboard Top Heatseekers Chart. They managed to have their track “Get Mine” featured in a Jeremiah Weed premium malt beverage TV advertisement that shows an arm wrestling competition. The album later reached number 1 in the Amazon best sellers. On the live side of sings, Rival Sons played a slew of dates in Canada, and then a prestigious slot at The Viper Room. They also earned slots at SXSW and Hangout Festival, and Sonisphere in the UK. Their song “Torture” earned itself a spot on the original sound track of the movie, Real Steel in October 2011, and the band were personally invited by Amy Lee to support Evanescence in the USA. They returned to Europe to embark on a headline tour to round off the year.

2012 saw the band re enter the studios to record their third full-length album in Nashville, Tennessee. It only took the band 20 days, and they worked with Vance Powell who has producing albums by Jack White and The Raconteurs on his CV. Prior to the release of the album, the band supported Evanescence, Eagles of Death Metal and Black Stone Cherry on their UK Tours, they even scored slots at Rock AM Ring, Sweden Rock, Ruisrock, Graspop and Download. Later that year, their album “Head Down” was released. It charted at number 31 in the UK album chart, and in the top 20 of Sweden, Finland and Norway.

They made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on March 7th 2013, and then did a UK Tour including a sold out show at Shepherds Bush Empire.

In January 2014, the band returned to the same studio that they recorded “Head Down” alongside Dave Cobb, to recorded their fourth studio album. Before the album was released they opened for Aerosmith on the Scandinavian leg of their European tour, and made it to the stage of Rock Am Ring and the Isle of Wight Festival. In the midst of it all, their album “Great Western Valkyrie” was released on June 6th 2014, it reached the charts of twelve countries. In October 2014, they made an appearance on Later… with Jools Holland.

Live reviews

Saturday, May 4, 2019

Vogue Theatre

Vancouver, BC

After a short delay due to what appeared to be technical difficulties with Scott Holiday’s complex guitar rig, the Rival Sons show began dramatically for a sell-out crowd. The five veterans of what I figure are likely over a thousand performances (at least for the three original members), have their chops well down, playing tightly and passionately together with both thunderous fire or sweet subtlety, depending on the need.

Guitarist Holiday isn’t some bombastic, grandstanding, six-string masturbator; he cranks out chunky, crunchy locomotive chords, dripping with thick, fat distortion, on a wide variety of new and vintage axes, dropping in short and tasty solos when appropriate for emphasis. He alternates intelligently between the savage and the sublime.

Michael Miley, known for paying homage to Bonzo at times, never rips off our hero, the godfather of heavy rock drumming, but inserts sly nods to him, while laying down a solid, textured, and, at times, explosive sonic onslaught we haven’t heard outside of metal in many years.

Bassist Dave Beste, who replaced original member Robin Everhart in 2013, is the piece of clockwork that connects the percussive fusillade of Miley to the tonal barrage of Holiday. Beste is agile and precise and produces a foundation which perfectly complements the drums and guitar. Like his stage-mates, Beste stands out when required, and blends generously when it’s someone else’s turn. Without a great bass player, a one-guitar band couldn’t be so full and rich; with him, they become an enormous multi-headed monster.

Adding variety to the mix, long-time studio collaborator and touring member Todd Ögren supplies keyboards, percussion, and, along with with all the others, backing vocals. He may not be a full member of the band, but, without his abundant contributions, they’d be capable of much less variety of texture and mood than with him.

As talented as all the players are, together and separately, the singer, lyricist, and frontman, Jay Buchanan, still stands out. His voice is a wonder to behold. He’s not only a master of his instrument but a surgeon of microphone control. He’s able to swoop dynamically amongst a light, almost whispered falsetto, an authoritative and punchy middle, and a ferocious full-lunged scream, while controlling loudness and presence with deft and aggressive mic positioning. Of the scream, you’d think he’d only be able to offer us this occasionally without doing damage to his pipes. This doesn’t seem to be the case; his vocal cords appear to be so robust that they’re able to withstand brutal punishment several nights a week, for weeks and months on end, without showing strain or fatigue. He’s not noticeably more hoarse at the end of the performance than at the beginning. It’s almost inconceivable!

These men are monsters, yes, but not of the metal variety. The potently muscular vocalist Jay Buchanan, and fuzz-lord guitarist Holiday together pen most of their tunes; these are reminiscent, but not derivative, of much blues-based hard rock of the late 60s and early-to-mid 70s. Some number are riff-heavy, while others are more delicate, showing the writing team’s diverse range of thematic and emotional expression. The tunes tend to throw us hints of decades past, but they never descend from personal vision into mimicry. These guys are unique in rock today, and, 40 or 50 years ago, when there were fewer competing styles of music available, I believe would have been a much bigger success than in the fractured market of today.

Rival Sons haven’t invented a genre, but they are serving to carry on a musical tradition which, without them, would be fading into nostalgic obscurity. Thanks to them, rock lives. That was my third time seeing them, and I’ll be happy to see them again.

Rival Sons at The Scala, London. I have been going to gigs since the tender age of 17, so it’s fair to say that over the years, I have been to quite a few. Yet, only a handful have left a significant imprint in my memory. Rival Sons at The Scala is already one of these, the sort of gigs that make me feel really grateful that I have the love of music in my life. Although the band have been around since 2008, I have only recently discovered them. When I did, I got so excited about the music, my expectations for their upcoming gig were high… and boy did they exceed them in every possible way!

The minute Jay Buchanan walked on stage, I was mesmerized. The man has incredible stage presence and a quirky persona complete with his own strut and stage antics… and then he starts singing and one gets totally lost in that powerful soulful voice of his. I focus on him because he is so striking, but his performance could not be complete without the input of the rest of the band, especially Scott Holiday, an exceptional guitarist and a playful character, whose rapport with Buchanan is obvious.

Rival Sons have been compared to Led Zeppelin and I totally get why: the classic rock and vocals are reminiscent of theirs. But this is not the only reason. Having seen them live, I realise that they follow in the tradition of all the great 70s rock bands (Led Zep but also The Rolling Stones or the Who), where a front man with great stage presence is key, but so are musicians at the top of their game and a great vibe between band members. Rival Sons definitely have all of the above and it comes through in their performance.

They played plenty of songs from their excellent new album Great Western Valkyrie as well as what I now understand to be their classics like “Keep On Swinging” and “Torture," giving the audience an opportunity to join in and sing along. My personal highlights were their rendition of “Face of Light," a beautiful and emotional song about the love of a father for his son (Buchanan’s,) and the fact that Buchanan came to the front of the stage at the end, drenched in sweat and drunk from his performance to shake hands with a few lucky fans before exiting the stage.

I have seen so many bands play gigs “by the numbers” without displaying much emotion or truly ever engaging with their audience, so this was really refreshing and on reflection, as every gig should be. I left the venue feeling like I had just witnessed a great moment, as if I had just seen The Rolling Stones play a small venue in 1973. I felt truly privileged to have been there, and that is why I simply cannot wait to see them again when they return to London in December…

I'm pretty sure my Wife and I have seen RIVAL SONS in a club environment for the last time?

The are just THAT GOOD!! Kind of bitter sweet as they are one of those bands that comes across so much better in a sweaty club than a big "Butts in seats" type place IMO. Hey, good for them! Just no so much for us I guess.

RIVAL SONS live is like going to Evangelical Tent Revival. It's just that kind of uplifting and borderline possession mixed together into one big worship of ROCK N' ROLL (which is far from dead BTW)!!

Jay Buchanan as a front man, reminds so much of Jim Morrison in his heyday with a aloof intensiveness that you are just glued to! And is vocals are just so powerful as to be scary sometimes!!

Guitarist Scott Holiday is not your typical Six String Shredder. He floats somewhere between The Edge and Dan Auerbach. Great Riffs and blistering, yet short, leads that assault you throughout the set. And a very unique tone that sets him off from the heard!

Drummer Michael Miley is a damn good powerhouse drummer!! Seriously how he makes that much noise on a "small" kit is beyond me?

And keeping all this intensity in check(?) is Bass player Dave Beste. Dave keeps it deceptively "simple" but, if you pay attention to what He is doing, it really is anything but! Dave reminds me allot like another low key 4 Stringer by the name of John Paul Jones! Without Bass players like them the songs fall apart very quickly! Never under estimate the power of the Bassist (yes. I'm a Bass player).

RIVAL SONS has a pretty permanent touring Keyboardist by the name of Todd Ögren who looks like a Rabbi and lends just enough flourish to their live sound without really taking away from the raw energy. And He is a riot to watch too!!

Do yourself a favor and go worship at the Alter of RIVAL SONS before they explode unto the masses!

This is our third Rival Sons concert. Scott Holiday is a true genius with his guitar and he truly loves what he does. Amazing playing of his strings keeps you mesmerized and wanting more and more Love the acoustic touch as we'll this time around. Michael Miley is one of the best drummers I have heard. His craft is well played and he certainly adores being involved with his fans. Jay Buchanan is getting more refined like vintage wine. His technique is oh so grandeur when he tops his lungs to the fullest capacity having everyone wanting more. David Beste plays great bass and vocals. Robin Everhart fantastic on the keyboard Nice work gentleman. Kick it up again tonight in buffalo!

Just incredible! Jay has become a phenomenal singer. I've been a fan for years because of the heart and soul Jay puts into his performances. He gives it everything. I can't believe he can sing that intense and still have a voice. Anyway, I hadn't seen them in a couple of years and I saw them last night. I was worried he had to tone down his performances by now so he could still have a voice, but that definitely was not the case. Every time I see RS they are the best live show I've ever seen. And every time they get better! Real rock and roll with real soul and emotion. The best rock band out there, for my money. I'm seeing them again in San Diego with STP. Can't wait!

Before the doors opened of The Melkweg in Amsterdam. A large crowd formed in front of the entrance. The sun was shining and the people were hyped to see the band play.

Once inside it took more than a hour before the band started playing.

When they finally arrived on stage they started with 'Electric Man' and the crowd went crazy. During the second song somebody throw her (red) bra onto the stage. The band almost played for two hours long and what a concert it was. Had a great time and got my rock fix.

This is one of the best live bands there is! I have been to hundreds of concerts and Rival Sons are the best of the best. It is amazing to me that they are still playing in small venues here in the states, but selfishly I am glad because I love the intimacy of it. Each person in the band is incredibly talented and when you put them all together it makes for a musical experience you should not miss! Don't ever pass up an opportunity to see them live!!!

This is my 3rd time seeing Rival Sons and unfortunately, this show was not the best. They did a short acoustic set in the middle of the show that had a long pause while they set up for it. It was fine once they started the acoustic set but they need to transition in quicker as the crowd got restless and started talking... and continued as the set started. They put on a tight show otherwise (as always) so I'd still recommend seeing them if you haven't

Third time I see the Rival Sons. Last year in Amsterdam, in Prague as opening act for Black Sabbath and now again in Amsterdam Melkweg. The show was sold out and you can tell the band has got themselves some loyal fans. Jay had a cold or something and his voice was not at the best level but the crowd push him to the limits and they gave a fantastic show. Again I really enjoyed myself and look forward to the next opportunity to see the band live.

If you like boring monotonous music...do not go to a Rival Sons concert. These boys come out of the gate and hit you with high octane mind blowing raw talent rock and roll from the get go. Like Power Rangers assembling they join forces on stage to blow your brains out with killer riffs, awesome raw vocals and general incredible talent.

Wha a gig. Best live act there is!

If you have not seen Rival Sons... go do it!

Rival Sons Announce 2023 North American Tour, Unleash New Single “Bird in the Hand”: Stream

The post Rival Sons Announce 2023 North American Tour, Unleash New Single “Bird in the Hand”: Stream appeared first on Consequence .

Rival Sons have announced an extensive 2023 North American tour featuring support from The Black Angels, The Record Company, and Starcrawler. The Grammy-nominated California rockers have also unveiled the new single “Bird in the Hand” from their upcoming album, DARKFIGHTER , due June 2nd.

The North American outing, dubbed “The DARKFIGHTER Tour,” will kick off on May 11th in Oklahoma City, and run through a June 18th date in Denver. The band will also appear at various festivals, such as Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, Florida, and Sonic Temple in Columbus, Ohio.

Tickets for the headlining dates go on sale today, March 10th at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster . Fans can also purchase tickets via  StubHub , where your order is 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s Fan Protect program.

“SO happy to finally announce our full North America headline tour and have new music to play for you,” guitarist Scott Holiday said in a statement. “Expect this tour to comprise of the forthcoming DARKFIGHTER album in its entirety, along with familiar songs and a few deeper cuts. We’re working on plans to make it extra special. With a big added bonus of the incredible acts we’re taking with us: The Black Angels, The Record Company and Starcrawler. It’s going to make for a REALLY fantastic night of music!”

Prior to the headlining shows, Rival Sons will play a handful of previously announced March gigs supporting Greta Van Fleet.

Regarding the new single, “Bird in the Hand,” singer Jay Buchannan said, “There’s a lyric in there, ‘Let’s go down to the river where the water runs still and deep, to scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be.’ You can burn through a whole lot of time just trying to find your lane, your realized intention. At some point you accept reincarnation as a waking process. Build, refine and burn again and again and the lyric, ‘A bird in the hand, now that’s a miracle I can believe’ is the immersive commitment to the present.”

Rival Sons have also announced more details about DARKFIGHTER ‘s companion album, LIGHTBRINGER , which will arrive in late 2023.

Buchanan explained, “In comparison to our previous records, we certainly took our time both writing and recording this collection. When we set out, the intention was mostly to dig as deep as possible. Even in the beginning before the body had formed, we agreed to throw the map away and chop our way through the woods to make a new path. Then lockdown hit and it felt like the whole damn country decided to throw the map away too. For myself, 2022 was like an eight-stage rocket of life changing events, so every time I thought I was finished writing, a new bull would come tearing through the clothesline and I’d have to illustrate it in some way.”

He added, “By the end, there were really two different sides to the same story being told. On one side, you’re fighting the darkness and, on the other, you’re bringing your own light to where there is none. One side in a corner, on the ropes, and the other advancing, cleaning the ring. Without an intermission, a refractory period, the collection would be too big a bite, so splitting it in two was the only way to do it.”

You can burn through a whole lot of time just trying to find your lane, your realized intention. At some point you accept reincarnation as a waking process.

Heightening excitement for this next chapter of RIVAL SONS , the band has also shared details of a companion album titled "Lightbringer" — due out in late 2023.

Expanding on the two-album set, Buchanan commented: "In comparison to our previous records, we certainly took our time both writing and recording this collection. When we set out, the intention was mostly to dig as deep as possible. Even in the beginning before the body had formed, we agreed to throw the map away and chop our way through the woods to make a new path. Then lockdown hit and it felt like the whole damn country decided to throw the map away too. For myself, 2022 was like an eight-stage rocket of life changing events, so every time I thought I was finished writing, a new bull would come tearing through the clothesline and I'd have to illustrate it in some way. By the end, there were really two different sides to the same story being told. On one side, you're fighting the darkness and, on the other, you're bringing your own light to where there is none. One side in a corner, on the ropes, and the other advancing, cleaning the ring. Without an intermission, a refractory period, the collection would be too big a bite, so splitting it in two was the only way to do it."

Rival Sons Announce ‘Pressure and Time’ 10th Anniversary North American Tour Dates

Rival Sons have got the touring itch after a year in pandemic lockdown, so they've booked an extensive fall tour that will keep them on the road from late September into early November. While a new album is not on the books at this point, the band will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of their 2011 album Pressure and Time during the run.

The "Pressure and Time" tour is a six-week headline run that will find the band supported by Dorothy , Reignwolf and Myron Elkins on select dates (as indicated in the tour itinerary at the bottom of this post). During the run, the group will play the Pressure and Time album in full for fans.

The band's sophomore set yielded the singles "Soul," "All Over the Road," the title track and the iTunes bonus cuts "Company Man" and "Life for This Road."

Dates for the run kick off Sept. 29 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and continue as the band crosses the country before finishing out the run Nov. 13 on the other coast in Anaheim, California.

The official ticket pre-sale launches tomorrow (July 21) at 10AM local time, while partner pre-sales begin Thursday (July 22) at 10AM local time. The general public on-sale goes live on Friday (July 23) at 10AM local time. Get your ticketing info via the band's website .

Though Rival Sons are reflecting on their past with the upcoming dates, they continue to work on new music for the follow-up to their Grammy-nominated 2019 album, Feral Roots .

Rival Sons launch Bird In The Hand single, announce extensive US tour

Bird In The Hand is the third single to be plucked from Rival Sons' upcoming album Darkfighter

Rival Sons have released Bird In The Hand, the third track to emerge from the band's upcoming seventh album Darkfighter . The release follows that of two earlier singles: Rapture , which saw the light of day in January, and Nobody Wants To Die , which came out in October. 

Bird In The Hand kicks of with a melancholic, Beatles-esque melody and swiftly turns into an overclocked blues grind, before frontman Jay Buchanan takes it to the church on the chorus.  

As Buchanan explains, “There’s a lyric in there, ‘ Let’s go down to the river where the water runs still and deep, to scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be .’ You can burn through a whole lot of time just trying to find your lane, your realised intention. 

"At some point you accept reincarnation as a waking process. Build, refine and burn again and again and the lyric, ‘ A bird in the hand, now that’s a miracle I can believe ’ is the immersive commitment to the present."

Rival Sons' upcoming album Darkfighter will be released on June 2 – it was originally slated for March 10 – and will be followed by a second album, Lightbringer , which will arrive later in the year. Darkfighter is available to pre-order now . 

The band, who toured The US with Whisky Myers in February and embark on a run of shows with Greta Van Fleet later this month, have also announced another set of North American dates. The new schedule begins at the Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma City, OK, on May 11, and winds up on June 18 at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, CO. Support will come from a mix of Starcrawler, The Record Company and Black Angels. Tickets go on sale today at 10am local . Full dates below.

Rival Sons announce summer tour

Double Grammy-nominated band Rival Sons will return to Europe this Summer for a slew of festival dates across the continent plus some headline shows taking them to some countries they haven’t visited in years.

Scott Holiday aka Mr Fuzzlord comments: “Summer in Europe 2024, we can’t wait. We missed the EU summer festivals last year as we were touring with the Smashing Pumpkins – so this is a very happy and exciting return for us this year, including tons of great festival dates! We’ll also be peppering in a handful of headline shows AND we FINALLY get to include a solid week in Spain! Elated. Muchas Gracias! Been way too long. Get your tix! Really looking forward to be getting back out there!”

Like a gang of tried-and-true mavericks, Rival Sons march to the beat of their own drum. Right when you think you’ve got them figured out, the Los Angeles quartet—Jay Buchanan [vocals, acoustic guitar], Scott Holiday [lead guitar], Mike Miley [drums], and Dave Beste [bass]—will flip the script and surprise you once more. Their very emergence is inexplicable in the best way. They never fit into any era or category, yet their uncompromising spirit might be more necessary today than ever. A sense of panache, a dash of mystery, and an unapologetic commitment to the craft of rock ‘n’ roll underscore their deep catalogue highlighted by the likes of Pressure & Time [2011], Great Western Valkyrie [2014], and Feral Roots [2019], which garnered two GRAMMY® Award nominations in the categories of “Best Rock Album” and “Best Rock Performance” for the single “Too Bad.” Meanwhile, the Rock Radio #1 hit “Do Your Worst” has reeled in 70 million streams and counting. At the same time, hand-picked by Black Sabbath for their final tour, they’ve held their own on stage with the greats like The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, and Lenny Kravitz in addition to blowing the roof off television staples such as The Late Late Show with James Corden, Jools Holland and Jimmy Kimmel.

In 2023, they continued to subvert expectations with two full-length LPs—DARKFIGHTER and LIGHTBRINGER [Low Country Sound/Atlantic Records]. Though the genesis of these albums is intertwined, they also speak to the band’s perpetual progression forward.

The band took the DARKFIGHTER on the road across the U.S.A and then over to Europe, selling out shows across the continent and kicking off in the U.K. with the release of LIGHTBRINGER, their second album of 2023. One of the highlights of that tour was a show at L’Olympia, Paris.

Jay Buchanan: “That night at L’Olympia last year was not only the pinnacle of the entire tour, it was as if our long love affair with Paris had somehow been officiated and legitimized in ceremony witnessed by all present. My God I f**king LOVE France and cannot wait to come back to you.”

Rival Sons Announce New Album ‘Lightbringer’

Photo: Patrik Skoglöw

Two-time Grammy nominated band Rival Sons announce the release of their much-anticipated new album, Lightbringer , on October 20th . The forthcoming album follows their first in 2023 Darkfighter.

Guitarist Scott Holiday said, “When you do two albums back-to-back like this, there are a lot of things to think about. The first record has to pack enough of a punch and tell enough of a story for the second half to have an even bigger impact. We balanced them out with energy and meaning, but the follow-up always needed to deliver a bigger blow. I think Lightbringer provides this.”

Vocalist Jay Buchanan added, “ Darkfighter is a new Rival Sons, and Lightbringer is the clear definition of what we are now. We broke ground on Darkfighter , but Lightbringer is a step beyond the personal innovation and exploration. It goes a little further. We really took everything into our own hands and pushed to see how far we could go. It was a self-exploration to see who we were and who we’ll be now. We had more friction and compromise than ever, because we isolated the bare essence of where we needed to go—and then we went there.”

“Sweet Life”

  Stream “Sweet Life” HERE

Regarding “Sweet Life,” Jay promised, “It’s the most old-school Rival Sons song on either of these two records. It has all of the early elements of what Rival Sons is and was. It was born out of my love mid-sixties rock like The Animals, The Kinks, and the bands I was raised on. It’s a bit of a break from all of the heavy subject matter too; it’s a barnburner.”

Rival Sons crafted Darkfighter and Lightbringer during the same sessions over the course of 2021. Once again, they recorded with creative confidant and longtime producer Dave Cobb behind the board. The band initially dropped Darkfighter to unanimous tastemaker praise earlier this summer.

Right now, Rival Sons are on the road with The Smashing Pumpkins and will be touring through the end of 2023 with select U.S. headline shows and festival appearances.
