Editorial Reviews

2011 album from the Blues-infused California rockers. Fronted by Jay Buchanan, Rival Sons have been heralded as a modern day mix of the Small Faces, The Who, Led Zeppelin and The Kinks. They've already supported AC/DC and Kid Rock in the U.S. and look set to be headlining superstars before the year is out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great new band with an old school sound July 30, 2011

By Justin G. TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Pressure & Time is the second album from Los Angeles-base rock band Rival Sons, who have burst on the scene in a big way with their decidedly old school, blues-based rock n' roll sound. Hailed by many as the second coming of everyone from Cream to Free to Led Zeppelin, Rival Sons had a lot to live up to with this, their debut album for Earache.

Album opener "All Over the Road" hits like a freight train, and is enough to at least plant the seed that this band may in fact be worthy of the hype. By the time the "so Zeppelin it hurts" title track rolls around you'll be a believer. Pressure & Time is the kind of album you'd expect to hear from a side project of seasoned veterans. It's no surprise that Black Country Communion is a typical comparison. Singer/songwriter Jay Buchanan has a soulful, raspy wail that sounds like Robert Plant covering Paul Rodgers, and it's the perfect complement to the heavy, fuzzy, and always bluesy guitar tone. "Burn Down Los Angeles," "Gypsy Heart" and "Get Mine" are all highlights, but the whole album rocks in a most vintage kind of way.

If you still own albums on vinyl and read Classic Rock Magazine on a regular basis, you'll probably love Pressure & Time. Rival Sons play rock & roll like it hasn't been played in years and they do it in a non-gimmicky way. If it's been too long since you've heard a good old-fashioned rock n' roll album, you owe it to yourself to check this one out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great throwback August 7, 2011

By Hank Rearden

Boy I hate to use the term retro. It's not really applicable here. While listening to this disc a couple of times I can see where people would want to make comparisons to Led Zeppelin etc... That's all well and good. I will say that these guys sell it well. It will be hard for them to clear the hurdle set by those great 60's and 70's bands for sure. That said, I have a soft spot for bands that play as well as these guys can without the Pro Tools gimmicks. Raw, in your face rock and roll.
