Rival Sons: fairly new and mostly unknown but the buzz is that's changing. They are most often compared to Led Zeppelin - even being referred to as "The New Led Zeppelin"; laughable in my opinion. Who can live up to perfection? - but I do hear the influence and they are certainly in the return-to-classic rock arena. The lead singer, Jay Buchanan, is compared to Jim Morrison; I think this is much more of a personal dream than it is reality. Again, who can live up to perfection?

I have only listened to Pressure & Time once but I do like it enough to give it some attention. Stand out track so far is Pressure & Time (you can check it out on youtube).

I purchased the EP (Jan 2011):

Tell Me Something
Lucky Girl
Memphis Sun
Angel
Pocketful of Stones
The Man Who Wasn’t There
Pleasant Return
On My Way
I Want More
Flames of Lanka
Nanda-Nandana

I think I was equally offended by and morbidly curious about the bold comparisons and just had to get alone with these guys to get myself sorted. Rival Sons have my attention as a potentially decent new (old) rock band and I do like some of what I hear but the jury's still out...
