Rival Sons: : RETURN TO NORTH AMERICA FOR TOUR DATES ON THE HEELS OF EUROPEAN AND CANADIAN TOUR IN SUPPORT OF THEIR ACCLAIMED ALBUM 'HEAD DOWN'

Century Media Records — Wed, 15 May 2013 11:40:30 GMT

"They have taken their roots and made it their own, and in today's f..ked up mess they call the music business, every now and then a band comes along to prove when done right, there ain't nothing like a great-riffing, keep-it-simple, rocking blues band that swings from the hip, restoring my faith in all the things I believe to be the makings of A GREAT ROCK & ROLL BAND...with the emphasis on ROLL. A band can't rock if it don't know how to roll--and these guys definitely know how to roll." -- Jerry Shirley, founding member and drummer of Humble Pie (2013) Maximum-blues-infused, hard rock band RIVAL SONS will perform two songs acoustically Wednesday, May 15 at 7:00 PM PT live on AXS-TV: singer JAY BUCHANAN and guitarist SCOTT HOLIDAY will do "Keep On Swinging"--the first single from their acclaimed current album HEAD DOWN--as well as "Burn Down Los Angeles" from their 2011 album Pressure and Time. The video for "Keep On Swinging" can be seen here: www.vevo.com/watch/rival-sons/keep-on-swinging/GBA631200133. AXS TV is broadcast on DIRECTV Channel 340, DISH Network Channel 167, AT&T U-Verse Channel 1106, Verizon FiOS Channel 569.

It features "Keep On Swinging," which hit #1 on the Active Rock Radio Charts in Canada and remained at the top for six straight weeks. The band is anxious to be back in States, says drummer Michael Miley, "Finally! Back in the USA! We've been steeped in Europe and UK love for two solid years. We're so ready to play the home court. Live, raw, and truthful. We're thankful to the US radio stepping up and taking a risk on us. See you soon!" Reaching #1 on the Rock chart in 2012 in the U.K., HEAD DOWN has garnered the group four-star reviews (including Mojo and the Guardian) overseas as well as magazine covers and the "Breakthrough Artist" award at the 2012 Classic Rock Awards show in London. The RIVAL SONS made their major national television debut when they performed "Keep On Swinging" on ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," in March.

From a self-released full-length album Before the Fire and EP (self-titled), to the strength of their live performances, the band gain major attention everywhere they play. Early accolades included a stint opening up for legends like AC/DC and Alice Cooper, several USO shows with Kid Rock, and a televised performance in the pit at The Indianapolis 500. The Huffington Post even dubbed RIVAL SONS as "one of the top 5 bands to watch" during 2010's CMJ Music Marathon in New York City. RIVAL SONS' full-length Earache debut, Pressure & Time, was recorded in Los Angeles and released worldwide in May 2011. The record quickly charted in the UK, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland and beyond. And by the time RIVAL SONS embarked on their first full length headline tour of Europe in November 2011 they'd sold out every UK show, as well as gigs across the continent. The album was voted No.2 Album of the Year by Classic Rock Magazine. In 2012, they released Head Down, achieving greater success and acclaim. More Praise For RIVAL SONS' HEAD DOWN here: "...Rival Sons are doggedly establishing themselves as a vital force for the modern age...the Californians' third album is a riotous carnival of Zep-saluting riffs, sunkissed psychedelia and irresistible hooks, with the band's soul, funk and blues influences thrust joyously to the fore...If you thrilled to the Black Keys' El Camino, it's time to meet your new favourite band." --GUARDIAN (UK), September 13, 2012 (4-out-of-5 star review) "You know the guys who complain today's rock doesn't hold a candle to the '70s stuff? They haven't heard this." --USA TODAY, November 13, 2012 "There's a soulfulness and strut which puts them in a different league." --UNCUT (U.K.) August 1, 2011 "Balls-to-the-walls blues-rawk!...undeniable." --NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, October 7, 2012 "Bluesy, ballsy and real." --AOL's NOISECREEP.COM, November 12, 2012 "...they sure as hell are a good time." --PENTHOUSE, February 23, 2013 "This is a band of storytellers and Head Down is their manifesto..." --VINTAGEROCK.COM, December 17, 2012 "Jay Buchanan uncorks a quavering vocal over Scott Holiday's buzz-bomb guitar playing and Michael Miley's barely controlled bashing of drums...it sounds like something Jimmy Page's pre-Zeppelin band, the Yardbirds, might have done...'A' grade." --CAMPUS CIRCLE, November 14, 2012 "The grooves are deep and the vocals are of the chest-beating variety..." -- MUSICRADAR.COM, December 6, 2012 "Rival Sons give rock 'n' roll a much needed kick in the ass...It's as timeless as it is tough, and it's everything rock music needs and more..." --ARTISTDIRECT.COM, December 4, 2012 "...hard rock band that explodes with rhythm and roughness similar to some of the greatest rock acts out there...the CD oozes energy of epic proportions led by the powerhouse single, 'Keep on Swinging'" -- GUITARINTERNATIONAL.COM, November 6, 2012 For more information, check out: Official Website Facebook Twitter YouTube

Rival Sons: : CONFIRM EUROPEAN SUMMER FESTIVALS INCLUDING UK'S DOWNLOAD

Century Media Records — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:24:48 GMT
RIVAL SONS have confirmed a number of European festival appearances for this summer, including the UK's prestigious Download festival. The band kicked off a European headlining tour last week, and will return to Europe again in June for Finland's Kivenlahti Rock festival, Norway's Bergenfest and Norwegian Wood festivals, and the UK's Download festival at the legendary Donington Park. RIVAL SONS guitarist SCOTT HOLIDAY comments: "We disappointed a lot of Scandinavian fans when we announced our current tour, totally devoid of any Norway or Finnish dates. Heck, we were actually disappointed ourselves to not be including these placed. But alas, it was all part of our master plan, as we are delighted to announce we will be playing three major Scandinavian festivals this summer: Kivenlahti Rock, Finland; Bergenfest, Bergen, Norway; and Norwegian Wood, Oslo, Norway. Last year we played Download - barely - due to equipment exploding backstage, electrical fires, thieves, robbers, angry dogs, and other unforeseen problems, we only got to play about half our set. We couldn't be more delighted to announce we're coming back to play this year - and this time we'll be prepared for all hi-jinx."

Nava (Full Length Version) View the flyer for the RIVAL SONS Record Store Day UK release at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/rivalsons_rsd2013.jpg RIVAL SONS guitarist SCOTT HOLIDAY comments: "As we've talked about quite often, all the band are big vinyl junkies. Travelling all over the globe, it's exciting to see how many people around the world are becoming enlivened by this vinyl trend - as they should! Vinyl is finding its place once again and improving the way we listen to and enjoy music. Living in the digital age, we've begun to realize how much quality and sonic experience we sacrifice for convenience, and how much is gained from hearing a recording sounding closer to the product we (as musicians and recording artists) intended to be enjoyed. That said, we're always excited to deliver something cool for Record Store Day, and this one coming up is one of my personal favorites. "With all the response we've received for the Manifest Destiny tracks, we've decided to offer up something special: a very limited run on 10" dual-sided picture vinyl... "Side A will be an inspired live version of Manifest Destiny Pt. 1, live from Gothenburg, Sweden, recorded on our last European tour, playing to a sold out theatre of very excited Swedes! Side B will be an acoustic interpretation of Manifest Destiny Pt. 2, mixing our love for Eastern and Native Indian flavors. Side B will also present the full length arrangement for my instrumental tune, Nava. "What more could there be, you ask?! Well, we had a friend of ours create comic book style covers for the front and back of the jacket. The front depicting Pt. 1 and the back depicting Pt. 2. This release is very close to my heart, and something I think our fans will really dig. Limited to only 1000 copies... So get 'em while the gettin's gettin'!"
