Rival Sons will release their latest album ‘Great Western Valkyrie‘ on June 9th.
“We have a reputation for recording our albums very quickly and keeping things very live – off the floor, this record is even more of a testament to that process,” Scott Holiday says. “Once again, we wrote and recorded almost everything on the spot, but this time even more of what you hear on the album are our live takes, all playing together.”
“Five records in, it just happens,” Jay Buchanan adds. “The gestation period passes and you realize that you’ve chain-smoked and binge-drank your way through another pregnancy. What makes this one different? Nothing or maybe everything. As it turns out, there was a false wall in the Rival Sons basement that concealed a vast collection of mystic literature. We burned it all.”
Rival Sons have a busy summer of touring ahead of them and play arena shows in Finland and Sweden behind Aerosmith on May 30th and June 1st. Their own European dates bring them to the UK on June 9th with a gig in London, while North American shows start in Nashville on June 19th.
