Bio:
Rival Sons is an American rock band formed in Long Beach, California, in 2009 and loosely based in Nashville. The band consists of Jay Buchanan (lead vocals), Scott Holiday (guitar), Dave Beste (bass guitar) and Michael Miley (drums). They are joined by keyboard player Todd Ögren when touring. They are signed to Atlantic Records via Dave Cobb's label Low Country Sound, an imprint of Elektra. They have released seven albums and one EP.Rival Sons formed in Long Beach, where Jay Buchanan and Michael Miley lived. Buchanan previously recorded as a solo artist and with his Buchanan band. He independently released All Understood in 2004 and True Love EP in 2006. Rival Sons formed from the remnants of guitarist Scott Holiday's previous band.He had been active in a number of bands, including Human Lab, who were signed to Atlantic Records, but which he left and formed Black Summer Crush with Michael Miley, Robin Everhart and Thomas Flowers. Black Summer Crush recorded an album and the vocals on those tracks were later replaced by Jay Buchanan and released as Rival Sons’ debut album.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.As a singer-songwriter Buchanan was skeptical about joining a rock and roll band but after seeing the reception to the band's debut album Before the Fire (2009) produced by Dave Cobb, Buchanan committed to Rival Sons full-time. Jack Rivera of The Huffington Post declared them "A rock band to watch" in November 2009.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.Rival Sons played at Gene Simmons' "Aces & Angels" Super Bowl party on February 2, 2011,before making their European debut appearance at Camden Barfly on February 12, 2011, for the HMV Next Big Thing. The band Vintage Trouble supported their act and the show sold out in advance, which started a nearly unbroken string of European sell-out shows.In March 2011 a string of shows at Canadian Music Week, SXSW and the House of Blues was announced.Rival Sons released Pressure & Time in June 2011. It reached number one on Amazon's Hard Rock best sellers and nineteen on the Billboard Hot 100.Following this acclaim, they were invited to perform as a supporting act for AC/DC, Alice Cooper and Kid Rock shows.During this time, Rival Sons also performed on the race track during a televised show of the Indianapolis 500.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.

Album:
Since 2009, Long Beach, California’s Rival Sons has done a fine job preserving the wild spirit of Rock-n-Roll bliss. Now in their prime, Rival Sons – Jay Buchanan (vocals), Scott Holiday (guitar), Mike Miley (drums), and Dave Beste (bass) – are pleased to announce the release of the band’s new album, Feral Roots, slated to drop on Friday, January 25, 2019 via Atlantic Records.Channeling the likes of Led Zeppelin, Rival Sons blend a modern sting of live, Blues based Rock. As a loud, potent quartet, Rival Sons has perhaps single-handedly put the danger back in Rock-n-Roll. In 2011, Rival Sons released the album Pressure & Time, which garnered a buzz that landed the LP at No. 1 on Amazon’s Hard Rock Best Sellers list. Later, Rival Sons’ sixth studio album, 2016’s Hollow Bones, became the band’s highest charting album ever in the U.S. How did they do it? Well, Rival Sons’ signature sound comes from the band’s belief in recording their albums live in the studio without an overly polished production. At the end of the day, this genuine recording process has proven to be the only way to go for this West Coast act.A true road band, Rival Sons built a strong following through extensive touring which landed the band on multiple festival stages like The Download Festival along with playing direct support on Black Sabbath’s The End farewell tour in 2016. All this in mind, Rival Sons start the new year off by way of Feral Roots. Rival Sons’ seventh studio effort, Feral Roots was produced by Grammy Award winning Producer Dave Cobb (Zac Brown Band, Chris Stapleton) at Nashville, Tennessee’s own RCA Studio A and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama.At their best, Rival Sons kick off Feral Roots with the raw, stop and go thrust of “Do Your Worst.” Rough around the edges, the track’s engaging chorus makes it the perfect opener for Feral Roots. For those fans with a sweet tooth, “Sugar on the Bone” livens with a percussive swing and a little cow bell before the masterful, 1970s style of “Back in the Woods.” Not even halfway through, Feral Roots really begins to show the immense songwriting talent of Rival Sons. That said, the next track, “Look Away” showcases a frothy old-time sound that begins with a Blue-Grass slide guitar intro. A striking vocalist, Buchanan’s tender vocals and harmony sit warmly atop Holiday’s moving guitar chords.The album’s eponymous track, “Feral Roots” is untamed with radical melody changes amidst a psychedelic, semi mellow composition. A stand out, “Too Bad” is a slow Blues wonder, featuring heavily devoted and vindictive vocals emphasizing this man’s desire to know if his lover is thinking of him. Up next, “Stood By Me” presents organ inspired guitar riffs with a jam session vibe similar to Steely Dan and The Doors. Moving along, Feral Roots continues to deliver enjoyable music with the euphoric “Imperial Joy,” the floating sonics of “All Directions,” and a celebratory “End of Forever.” Closing the album, “Shooting Stars” praises our life and triumphs with Gospel style back-up singers, making this the perfect way for Rival Sons to conclude their newest endeavor.In a catchy and expressive collection of new material, Rival Sons’s Feral Roots is surely worth the wait since the band’s last album was released over two years ago. Full of skilled guitar licks, stimulating vocals, and a rattling rhythm section, Feral Roots is a consummate example of why Rival Sons are experts at Rock-n-Roll. In enough words, Rival Sons has always taken an artistic approach to songwriting, never trying to write a ‘hit single’ – and it certainly works for them. Another great showing from Rival Sons,
