Earache\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
California\u00b4s RIVAL SONS seem universally hailed as the hottest new band around in 2011. Classic Rock Magazine even bowed to them, as did the German Rocks Magazine. Groove, soul and confidence, honesty and danger, all that is supposedly incorporated in the band\u00b4s sound, and those are indeed key ingredients for most of the surviving rock greats. RIVAL SONS has released an album at their own expense, \u201cBefore the Fire\u201d, and a digital EP, before ending up in the spotlight. Is there enough fire in them to keep them there? Time to release Messrs. Jay Buchanan, vox, Scott Holiday, guitars, Robert Everhart, bass, and Mike Miley, drums. <\/p>\n
Have you ever heard ATOMIC ROOSTER without the Hammond? Try \u201cAll Over the Road\u201d, which has all the stamina of DuCann & Co, but without one little ingredient that was vital to the sounds of yesterday; the Hammond. They go for the same vintage sound in the handclapped \u201cYoung Love\u201d, which is no doubt contagious. LED ZEPPELIN and JIMI HENDRIX get worshipped in the title track, at least one loan too many for me. \u201cOnly One\u201d and \u201cI Get Mine\u201d have some more seventies regalia; a Hammond, grooves, and a lack of structure in the land of Jefferson Airplanes. \u201cBurn Down Los Angeles\u201d go for the nagging refrain, perhaps a few times too many, but I admit it has its moments. An attempt at copying Robert Plant\u00b4s voice in \u201cGypsy Heart\u201d misses the target, Jay is not Robert. I may not be all that partial to the seventies, but I really like ATOMIC ROOSTER, this album, will no doubt leave my mind quite soon. <\/p>\n
