  • Wow. This is just a really great song, with a great singer and really well written. Today I'm reacting to the band ‪@RivalSons‬ and their brand new song "Rapture". I have not listened to them before this, but I think a few of you are a fan of these guys already? Let me know what you think and go have a watch of the full music video, it doesn't have enough views in my opinion for how great it is: • Rival Sons - Rapture [...

    Jay Buchanan of Rival Sons is quite simply the best vocalist around at this moment in time. Seen Rival Sons live a few times now and he’s incredible. In fact I’d go as far as to say he’s the best I’ve ever heard. Long live Rival Sons. The first time I ever heard him sing I described his as like Paul Rodgers but better. My mates thought I was mad until they heard him.

      @@thelostmarbles4310 this is pretty good! I like the harmonies. The harpsichord sounds gave it a nice 60s vibe. The only thing I would have probably added (and this is just me) is some kind of melodic hook or line on the guitar as a setup for the verses. Otherwise that's a solid effort! (and I liked the uptempo change near the end!)

      Yes he is. He has all of the soul Paul Rodgers has and can belt it out like a young David Coverdale, Yet has all the emotion of a Sam Cooke. The videos of just Scott and Jay with a couple acoustic guitars are proof positive the guy is the real deal and no trickery or backing tracks are needed for them to impress the snobs in the back row.

    Ah, Rival Sons. I was a super fan from around 2010 onwards. Got to know them a little bit. We used to bring them food from the Hare Krishna temple before their gigs. They were so much fun to enjoy live. Their latest work is not as exciting to my ears but they hold a special place in my rocking heart.

    LOVE RIVAL SONS! I've been into them ever since first hearing them over 10 years ago. The first few times I drove from Cleveland to Buffalo to see them in concert a couple times and meet them. Amazing musicians. The best singer on the planet. Super cool dudes in person. Great songs, great albums, absolutely stellar and amazing live in concert. The. . . best. . . rock and roll band. . . on the planet!

    Hey Justin, great video as always! I love these videos because they expose me to a bunch of artists and bands I'd never have found on my own. I mostly listen to Japanese bands, and I know you've covered a few on the channel. I think you'd really like the band "Sokoninaru" - they're a japanese progressive metal/heavy rock (I don't know for certain tbh) and I think their sound would be right up your alley. I recommend their song "Tenohira De Odoru", it's an absolute banger!

They’re one of the best live bands on this, or any other, planet. Jay’s vocals are just as astounding onstage. I would recommend seeing them in the UK when they next tour there. You’ll not be disappointed. And please give their video for “Nobody Wants to Die” a spin. It’s tied in with “Rapture” and it’s hella fun!

Seen them live numerous times. The only band I've wanted to see more than once. Includes a list of groups going back to the '80s. Cannot wait for Darkfighter!!!!!!!!!

    Same mode as the suicide tune, as in yesterday's episode, but on G# rather than F#, and great use of chord IV (C#min).. The self-distruction vibe is indeed evident, but by no means a sine qua non for use of the sonic territory under advisement.. You could have a song like this about Asgard, or Norman Gothic architecture, if you were feeling all Christian about it.. Or a bonza paganfest, shouldst The Spirit move you when The Muse did groove you... Nice one Justin! 🎶👍
