"You Need Coolin, Baby, I'm Not Foolin..."



Rival Sons are true to their roots, but I can't call them a throwback band. 'Cause no throwback bands ever last. And I want this to last. Straight up hard blues rock n roll (classic rock if you must). Derived from the greats like Faces, The Yardbirds, The Black Crowes, early Aerosmith?, Humble Pie, and a big dose of Early Led Zeppelin. A vocalist with lungs and personality, solid drumming, groovy bass lines, and screamin guitar solos that are incredibly reminiscent of a long lost fire that seemed to have burned out with the 70s. They're just heading into the studio after finishing their first big tour ending at SXSW. The new album will be released on Earache Records. I know-super fucking weird for a record label who's roster is full of extreme metal and grind bands to bring you some good ol' rock and/or roll, but it's happening. I've included a link for their first self-released full-length entitled Before the Fire as well as a link for their 2010 self-titled EP.

"Before the Fire" download.
