Rival Sons: BeatCrave Fav
By Candace Butler
Four rockers hailiing from Long Beach, California who call themselves Rival Sons are four crazy musicians with a great sense of style and some serious talent. Heavy guitar shredding, funky beats, and catchy vocals are their trademark, so it’s no wonder they’ve garnered some international attention recently. They’re latest album Pressure and Time has a mixture of sounds that verge upon rock, funk, and a great feeling of freedom that exudes the album. It feels like they’re having fun recording this, which is all the more intriguing. And they’re known for being edgy; even their video for “All Over the Road” took some editing to get it to an “R” rating. Right now, the band really is ‘all over the road,’ as they’re currently touring through Europe and the United Kingdom. Can’t make it to one of their sets? No worries; you can still check out Rival Sons right here in our BeatCrave Fav series below!
