Bio
Since their emergence in 2009, Rival Sons have reignited and recharged rock ‘n’ roll with towering vocals, electrifying guitar work, and thunderous grooves, captivating fans worldwide. Like a gang of tried-and-true mavericks, Rival Sons march to the beat of their own drum. Right when you think you’ve got them figured out, the Los Angeles quartet—Jay Buchanan [vocals, acoustic guitar], Scott Holiday [lead guitar], Mike Miley [drums], and Dave Beste [bass]—will flip the script and surprise you once more. Rival Sons tap into something timeless—reaching beyond eras and genres to uncover universal truths. Their very emergence is inexplicable in the best way. They never fit into any era or category, yet their uncompromising spirit might be more necessary today than ever. A sense of panache, a dash of mystery, and an unapologetic commitment to the craft of rock ‘n’ roll underscore their deep catalogue highlighted by the likes of Pressure & Time [2011], Great Western Valkyrie [2014], and Feral Roots [2019], which garnered two GRAMMY® Award nominations in the categories of “Best Rock Album” and “Best Rock Performance” for the single “Too Bad.” Meanwhile, the Rock Radio #1 hit “Do Your Worst” has reeled in 70 million streams and counting. Hand-picked by Black Sabbath for their final tour, they’ve held their own on stage with the greats like The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, and Lenny Kravitz in addition to blowing the roof off television staples such as David Letterman, The Late Late Show with James Corden, George Lopez, Jools Holland and Jimmy Kimmel. In 2023, they continued to subvert expectations with two full-length LPs — DARKFIGHTER and LIGHTBRINGER [Low Country Sound/Atlantic Records]. Though the genesis of these two albums is intertwined, they also speak to the band’s perpetual progression forward. As they charge into 2025, Rival Sons are set for another monumental year, heading out on a coast-to-coast tour across Canada before heading to Europe with Guns N’ Roses for a stadium run, before meeting up with their old pals in Black Sabbath as special guests on their last show ever to be performed.
