Wonderful evening at the Picture House Edinburgh

Edinburgh, HMV Edinburgh Picture House, 14/04/2013

Rival Sons did not disappoint their adoring fans in Edinburgh on 14 April 13. Their set was full of energy; Jays singing was phenomenal. Much audience participation - appreciated by the band. Scott was amazing on guitar; Robyn fantastic on bass; Michael brilliant on the drums. The numbers were from the first and second albums; Torture and Pressure and Time remain favourites of mine. An amazing evening and we look forward to the return of the band to Edinburgh.

Southern Blues with a hint of the West Coast

Cambridge, The Junction, 16/04/2013

First saw Rival Sons when they toured with Black Stone Cherry last year, and immediately loved their sound. But they needed a little more material to move on to the big time. Well here they are a year on and theyre ready to take on the world. Really nice to catch them at The Junction as its easy to get close up to the stage. The gig kicked off with Ulysses, from Bath. Never heard of them but they gave off a good vibe and had a lot of fun on stage. They were joined for their last number by some...

Wonderful, Great, Mindblowing

London, The Electric Ballroom, Camden, 01/10/2012

To try and sum up the really great gig that Rival Sons put on is hard. Their rock n roll is played at a 1000 miles per hour and no prisoners are taken. If you are thinking about going to a show but you're not sure then just play one of their CDs and will make your mind up.
