Rival Sons formed in Long Beach, California, in 2009 around vocalist Jay Buchanan, guitarist Scott Holiday, drummer Mike Miley, and bassist Robin Everhart. The four musicians brought different backgrounds into a sound built on heavy grooves, blues feeling, soulful vocals, and the immediacy of a band playing together in the room.

The group introduced that sound on the independently released Before the Fire in 2009 and the self-titled Rival Sons EP that followed. After signing with Earache Records, Rival Sons released Pressure & Time in 2011. Songs including “Pressure and Time,” “All Over the Road,” and “Gypsy Heart” helped the band reach a much wider international audience.

Head Down arrived in 2012 with “Keep on Swinging,” “Wild Animal,” and the two-part “Manifest Destiny.” The band expanded its musical range again on Great Western Valkyrie in 2014, the first Rival Sons studio album to feature bassist Dave Beste. “Electric Man,” “Open My Eyes,” “Good Things,” and “Where I’ve Been” pushed the group’s blues-rock foundation into more spacious and psychedelic territory.

Rival Sons returned with Hollow Bones in 2016, pairing the title suite with songs including “Tied Up,” “Thundering Voices,” and a forceful version of “Black Coffee.” The band later joined Dave Cobb’s Low Country Sound partnership with Atlantic Records for Feral Roots in 2019. That album produced “Do Your Worst,” “Shooting Stars,” and “Too Bad,” while earning Grammy nominations for Best Rock Album and Best Rock Performance.

The companion albums Darkfighter and Lightbringer both appeared in 2023. Recorded during the same extended creative period, the two releases moved between the tension of “Nobody Wants to Die,” “Rapture,” and “Bird in the Hand” and the more expansive sweep of “Mercy,” “Redemption,” and “Sweet Life.”

In 2024, Rival Sons released Pair of Aces, Pt. 1 and Pair of Aces, Pt. 2, two live recordings captured on Santa Catalina Island in 2021. The performances revisited Before the Fire and the self-titled EP in full, presenting the band’s earliest material through the power and experience of its later lineup.
