Rival Sons announce L.A. Edwards as support on European Tour

Rival Sons are far more than just a support act

By Andrew Halls

Rival Sons, the Californian support act to Black Sabbath have none of the laid-back ease of California, and none of the fragile humility of a support band. Dressed in sombre blacks with guitarist Scott Holiday in a silver jacket, they exploded into the driving tempo of “Electric Man” and the hypnotic, pulsing rhythms of “Secret” before the still-filling arena knew what had hit them. One hundred per cent American they may be, but their sound owes its debt to the visceral guitar-driven blues of British rock from the Sixties and Seventies.

Free and Led Zeppelin were channelled in crunching, sometimes jagged, riffs, with Jay Buchanan’s vocals moving effortlessly from soulful tenderness to primal scream and back again. His presence is both understated and passionate, with fluid gestures underlining a deep and strangely captivating authenticity.

Mike Miley’s brutally effective drumming took us into “Open My Eyes” referencing Led Zeppelin in too many ways to count, and yet, such is the distinctive strength of the band, completely their own work.

Rival Sons need a longer set than the miserly half hour they were allowed on Saturday. They have depths and shades of light and dark that Black Sabbath in their orgiastic riff-fest could only dream of – but they need time and space to let their sometimes spare and echoey sound linger and resonate.

Rival Sons play tonight at the O2 Arena in London, before continuing on to their UK tour .

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!

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.

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!

Rival Sons have announced their long-awaited return to the UK & EUROPE this autumn taking their two forthcoming new albums,  DARKFIGHTER  and  LIGHTBRINGER  on the road, across Europe for a 30-date run.

DARKFIGHTER,  is set to arrive worldwide June 2 nd  2023 and is available for  pre-order / pre-save  now [album art / track-listing below].

The 2x GRAMMY® Award-nominated band, known for their electrifying, well-honed live shows, will be kicking the tour off in Camden, London at the Roundhouse on Friday 13 th  October, just across the road from where they played their first ever European show, 12 years ago. The tour then runs through the UK, including a date at the infamous Barrowlands in Glasgow, then continuing with multiple dates in France, Germany, Poland, and Scandinavia.

Scott Holiday (guitarist) comments: “Dear friends on the other side of the pond, DARKFIGHTER is coming for you! AND LIGHTBRINGER is coming for you too!

We’re finally able to come back to you and bring you NEW music! Music that has been firmly situated in our hearts. Nothing makes me happier than to think about experiencing these albums together and making them into something entirely new and different every night. Let’s make something symbiotic, alive, that we’ll want to remember forever!”

The tour dates will go on public sale  here  on Friday 14 th  April and will be accompanied by Meet & Greets where possible (available through the Rival Sons app  https://www.rivalsonsapp.com/  ) With pre-sale available Thursday 13 th  April.

Full UK/ European tour dates below.

Bird In The Hand

Last week, Rival Sons released the third visual instalment in their narrative series of videos that have accompanied new music from the forthcoming  DARKFIGHTER  album. The series tells the story of a double-cross and a heist gone wrong and stars the band themselves as a gang of crooks. It’s a caper that results in explosive consequences.

Jay Buchanan as Preacher throws dynamite verse in the  Nobody Wants To Die  video, the first single from  DARKFIGHTER , from their own vintage cars; (Scott’s own 1956 Pontiac Chieftain and Jay’s 1982 Mercedes 300SD) while stunt-driving across the California dessert. In the latest video for new hit single  Bird In The Hand  the explosive consequences are contextualised with the video adding another vignette to the trilogy.

With a large dose of humour and a devil-may-care attitude  Bird In The Hand , directed by Kurt Kubicek, and written by Jay Buchanan and Scott Holiday, is a prequel for the deadly single,  “ Nobody Wants To Die “  (dir. Eli Sokhn) and  “ Rapture “  (dir. Kurt Kubicek), both streaming now at the official Rival Sons YouTube channel  HERE .

Jay Buchanan comments: “ It’s been a great time writing and producing these videos along with great directors and crew. With video production we’re really at that sweet spot where we don’t know the rules so we’re not afraid of breaking them. We’ll see where it goes from here.”

“Nobody Wants To Die”  was hailed by  Rolling Stone  as “ hard-charging, ” adding “ The video has Kill Bill grindhouse vibes for days and is a literal blast. ” “ It would be cliché to say it’s been worth the wait, ” wrote  Guitar World , “ but the phrase applies: ‘Nobody Wants to Die’ has enough high-gain riffage and classic rock fretboard throwdowns to more than make up for Rival Sons’ absence. “

Rival Sons and The Smashing Pumpkins

Rival Sons forthcoming new album  DARKFIGHTER  will be released June 2 nd  via Elektra/Low Country Sound (Parlophone in UK/Warner across Europe). Rival Sons will mark the arrival of  DARKFIGHTER  with a truly epic live schedule, embarking on their own extensive North American headline run,  “The DARKFIGHTER Tour,”  beginning May 11 at Oklahoma City, OK’s Diamond Ballroom and then traveling through mid-June. Special guests throughout include The Black Angels and The Record Company, with Starcrawler also appearing on select dates.

The band will then play a special guest run on Smashing Pumpkins’ “The World Is a Vampire” Summer 2023 North American Tour, also featuring Stone Temple Pilots and Interpol, getting underway August 1 at Salt Lake City, UT’s USANA Amphitheatre and then continuing through early September. Tickets for all announced dates are on sale now. For compete details and ticket information, please visit  www.rivalsons.com .

DARKFIGHTER and LIGHTBRINGER

DARKFIGHTER  (out June 2 nd ) will be accompanied by companion volume,  LIGHTBRINGER,  arriving later this year. Both produced by long-time collaborator and 8x GRAMMY® Award-winner Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell). The two new LPs marks the first new music from Rival Sons in more than four years, following 2019’s critically acclaimed, GRAMMY® Award-nominated sixth studio album,  FERAL ROOTS .

“ In comparison to our previous records, we certainly took our time both writing and recording this collection, ” says Rival Sons vocalist Jay Buchanan. “ 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 play rock ‘n’ roll in its purest form without apology or pretence. Instead, they simply plug in, turn up, and rip on a path of their own. Along the way, they’ve architected a critically acclaimed catalogue, including  PRESSURE & TIME  (2011),  HEAD DOWN  (2012),  GREAT WESTERN VALKYRIE  (2014),  HOLLOW BONES  (2016), and  FERAL ROOTS  (2019).

Highlighted by the chart-topping lead single, “Do Your Worst,” the latter album stands tall as a creative and critical high watermark for Rival Sons, scoring a GRAMMY® Award nomination for “Best Rock Album,” with the standout track, “Too Bad” receiving a nod in the “Best Rock Performance” category. In addition, the album’s lead single, “Do Your Worst,” proved the band’s biggest hit to date, ascending to #1 at Rock radio outlets nationwide while tallying north of 60M streams and counting.

Hailed as an electrifying, well-honed live act, Rival Sons have played countless headline shows, shared stages with everyone from Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones, and AC/DC to Guns N’ Roses and Lenny Kravitz and made high-profile late-night TV appearances including CBS’  The Late Late Show with James Corden . In 2021, the band launched their own label, Sacred Tongue Recordings distributed by Thirty Tigers.

That same year saw Rival Sons celebrate the 10 th  anniversary of 2011’s  PRESSURE AND TIME , by performing the landmark LP live in its entirety for the first time ever on the sold out “Pressure and Time Tour.” The band also presented a very special two-night livestream event,  Pair Of Aces , which saw them performing 2009’s debut album,  BEFORE THE FIRE , and 2010’s self-titled  RIVAL SONS  EP in their entirety live from the historic Catalina Casino on Santa Catalina Island off the coast of California.

Rival Sons is:  Jay Buchanan (vocals, harmonica, rhythm guitar), Scott Holiday (lead guitar), Mike Miley (drums), and Dave Beste (bass).

Rival Sons announce European Pressure And Time 10th anniversary tour

Rival Sons to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Pressure And Time with "overdue" European tour including eight UK shows

Rival Sons have announced a European tour. The run of dates will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the band's breakthrough Pressure And Time album, and kicks off at the Punk IT Festival in Helsinki, Finland, on June 4. The tour wraps up at the Beauregard Music Festival in France on July 8, and also includes eight shows in The UK and Ireland.  

“To say we’ve missed touring the UK and Europe, our Fans… our friends and family across the pond, it would be a vast statement," says guitarist Scott Holiday. "We’ve missed you, and we are so incredibly happy to make our way back to you. 

"It feels appropriate to celebrate the Pressure And Time 10th anniversary with you all too, the folks who really put it on the map. We’ll play that album top to bottom for ya, and then play a handful of songs from the rest of our catalogue. It’s gonna be a real good time for all of us. We can’t wait for the long overdue reunion."

Rival Sons have been mixing their own US headline dates with support slots on the spring leg of Greta Van Fleet 's Dreams In Gold tour, but after a short run of Michigan shows the remaining dates of the tour were postponed when GVF guitarist Jake Kiszka was hospitalised with pneumonia . Rival Sons will rejoin Greta Van Fleet for the Fall leg of the tour in August.

Tickets for the European tour go on sale today .
