Rival Sons - Soul

 

Last Thursday, there were music all the way. First release party with Hong Faux, which I talked about yesterday, great to hear them play the new songs live. Unfortunately I did not have the time to stay for the entire gig, was so much in a hurry to Strand to witness the Rival Sons Live, which was something I had really been looking forward to.

On the way there with two buddies, Jojje and Petri (Supralunar), we passed the car to lay off the new Hong Faux vinyl and the new t-shirt that was purchased during the release party, vinyl was however a gift from Björn, in the band as a thank you for the photos in the record inlay, funny as hell that they wanted to use them for the record.. Once we got to the car so I noticed a yellow note on car window ... yikes!

Represses the yellow note and gears up for gig instead, once I entered the Strand, Jeff and The Brotherhood's was playing the last song, time to snap a few pictures, but didn't not have the time really to form an idea of how it was. Before Jeff was playing there was a Swedish band called them self as "Flykten" would have been fun to hear live, will try to watch them some other time, the litte Ive heard, it sounds very interesting.

Then it was time for the main act to get on and the curtain was opened, a wonderful feeling runned through the body, this will be so good. Certain it was so, awsome how good the gig became, what a retroactive feeling, holy moses. We know already that the band is great on record, but they are awsome great live, what emotions they could create, its incredible. The singer sings with incredible feeling and his vocal work is magnificent. Even musicians are tight and well played, the contact between each other is clear as a bell, which can be seen when the jam sessions takes place and when they joke with each other. This was simply a awsome gig even though I missed some songs which I would have liked that were on the set list, as "Face of light" which is one of the best track on the Pressure of Time. But received in other hand "Soul", this song is taken from the EP, which was performed in a completely magical way and it felt like I was going to heaven, shit what I shivered. After the gig the band invited up to hang around and drink some beer and talk about this, which we of course did.

Here is some pictures from the show!

More pictures will be added later on the facebook!

Todays tune "Soul" is taken from their selftitled ep.

JEFF The Brotherhood - Heavy Days

 

With the encouraging news on Rival Sons forthcoming visit to Sweden, became curious about the band that is out traveling with Rival Sons so, i entered "JEFF The Brotherhood" in Google. JEFF the Brotherhood is a two-piece rock band consisting of brothers Jake and Jamin Orrall, hailing form Nashville, Tennessee. Their style has been described by music writers as containing elements of psychedelic rock, garage rock, punk and pop. They have released five original LPs on the label Infinity Cat Recordings, one live album on Third Man Records, and assorted singles and splits with noted artists such as Ty Segall, Best Coast and Screaming Females. Their “we’ll play anywhere” attitude and frenetic live shows have earned them near legendary status in the clubs and basements of Nashville and beyond. With three guitar strings and a minimal drum kit, they manage to distill rock to its primal essence. It will be incredibly interesting to see them live.

Jeff The Brotherhood sounds like a roadtrip on fuzz acid and have more gas than can be expected from a pair of brothers from Nashville. The siblings Jake and Jamin Orrall started Jeff The Brotherhood in high school, a time when everything was shit and punk is the only thing that can save lives. Now, ten years after the first rope, first riff is past the rope and the latest riff just magically good as it ever was. In a head-on collision between John Garcia and Ron Asheton, we find, in addition to bloody corpses, just the node where Jeff The Brother Hood bulimic stoner punk raging free.

Todays tune with JEFF The Brotherhood is the title track from the album Heavy Days!

Rival Sons - Pressure And Time

 

Rival's is blues rock, or rather it's raw smoky swamp blues that has everything in common with Led Zeppelin's soulful rocking. Column Meters can be utterly brutal how perfectly good their album "Pressure and Time" is but just because you can does not mean you should. However, we can only beat a very hard blow for their coming visit here in Sweden. Not a maybe, but a must!

Rival Sons guitarist Scott Holiday comments:

"After one month's return to the States, we could no longer take it, being away from our fans in Europe. So we are elated to be getting back out to them this November. Besides getting back to some of our favorite countries and cities, this tour will also give us the chance to introduce ourselves to a bunch of new places, like Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Finland, Estonia, Vienna and more! Hopefully everyone over there is ready for a full-on, rock 'n' roll, smack-in-the-face, kick-in-the-pants assault... Because that is what we aim to deliver.

"As for the fans we are returning to - we know they're ready; it's gonna be a blast. This'll be the last Rival Sons tour for 2011! Let's send the year out proper, and remind people that rock 'n' roll is far from dead!"

Rival Sons - Sleepwalker

Hey there People!

I found it!!!!!!!
The band that plays good music with a touch of the 70´s but not really :) hehe.
This is awesome, totally freckin´great.

It´ll get ure toughts to Led Zeppelin and other goodies but with a new coat :)

Who are they??
Well, they are a Blues/rock band from Los Angeles, US.
Line-up: Lead Vocals: Jay Buchanan, Guitar: Scott Holiday, Bass: Robin Everhart Drums: Mike Miley History.
They were formed in 2008.

Michael Duncan on Rock Edition did an interview with Jay in april:
"Most of my idols are blues guys. This is the first rock ‘n’ roll band that I’ve ever been in. I never had an appetite to play rock ‘n’ roll. I grew up on the blues and soul music. Honestly, I always thought rock ‘n’ roll and these rock bands — the music was good — but when it came down to it so much of it seemed like foolish posturing and not very honest, except for just a few bands. You get into Led Zeppelin growing up — who doesn’t love Led Zeppelin? Or The Doors. But even with Led Zeppelin it’s like, “Aw, there’s faggy Robert Plant setting white doves free from the stage.”

Then you got Jim Morrison putting out shitty poetry and acting like he’s getting shot on stage. Tone it down, man. You know, it always goes over that line, but it has to go over that line if it’s going to ride the edge. So, I get it. I like true rock, like real honest stuff, where you go back to like Buddy Holly and the Crickets. Listen to “Not Fade Away” — there’s ghosts coming off of that vinyl. You can picture, smell and feel these kids sweating it out in this one room studio in Lubbock, Texas. If you listen to what The Jeff Beck Group did on the ‘Truth’ album, that’s serious shit — it’s really good! They were a bunch of young dudes hopped up on the blues and just swinging as hard as they could. Yeah, man. There’s a lot of good rock that’s been made."

They will release their debut album worldwide entitled “Pressure & Time” in June 2011.
