Feral roots

"Power. Control. Mastery. Rival Sons are back with their sixth studio album Feral Roots-and it brings all three of these descriptors to life ... From start to end, Feral Roots shows Rival Sons performing as well as fans have grown to expect of them-and the experience is just as enjoyable now as it was a decade ago".

"Rival Sons' sixth studio album is a success on so many levels. It's the band at a point where they aren't afraid to embrace modernised inspirations while holding on to everything that's got them to where they are today. You need to hear this album and when you do you'll thank yourself for doing so".

"... the band's sixth full-length effort, comes out of the gate swinging with the 40-grit "Do Your Worst," a radio-ready banger that evokes both Led Zeppelin and the Black Keys. The lusty "Sugar on the Bone" follows a similar trajectory, with Mike Miley's Valhallic drumming leading the charge, as does the greasy "Back in the Woods," the latter of which sets the narrative tone for the sea change that follows. In between the recording of Feral Roots and its predecessor, frontman Jay Buchanan moved his family from Southern California to the woodsy outskirts of Franklin, Tennessee, and that change in milieu informs much of the LP's middle section".

"Feral Roots, just like their previous five albums, is a very good, well crafted album - it just doesn't offer any new surprises or diversity from past projects".
