Rival Sons arrive in the UK amidst a growing sense of anticipation among rock fans, having being hailed as ones to watch since emerging on the scene in 2009. After releasing an eponymous EP earlier this year, the Californian blues-rockers recently followed with their full major-label debut ‘Pressure and Time‘, a record seemingly so rooted in the seventies it even featured a cover by legendary artist Storm Thorgerson.

Written, recorded and mixed in just twenty days, it served to remind many lovers of classic rock why their favourite bands became, well, their favourite bands. Given such a short timescale to make the album, much of the raw live feel has been retained, making it a record that begs to be heard played live. Currently touring the UK as support for metal stalwarts Judas Priest and Queensryche, the band arrived in Leeds for one of only two headlining dates.
