Anyone heard of them? A friend of mine turned me on to them and I must say that I like them. Just good old rock & roll that you don't hear much anymore. From Wikipedia: Reviewing the band’s album Head Down for the BBC Greg Moffitt described the group’s sound as "electrifying blend of Led Zeppelin, Free, Bad Company, Deep Purple, the Doors and a dozen other."

    I know Jimmy Page endorses them. I first heard of them through a Jimmy Page interview. Excellent throw back rock and roll with their own twist. A keeper for sure.

    That's all in this article how Jimmy Page showed up at a Royal Blood show in NYC Rival Sons & Royal Blood are two new bands that are actually worth listening to.

    FYI: This is available for free to Amazon Prime members via Amazon Music. Listening now and I think it's something I'm going to like.
