    One of the best blues rock bands since Zeppelin. The soul on black coffee is incredible. All there albums absolutely kick ass. Great energy and blues tones.

    [Hollow Bones] is Rival Sons' finest work yet. [Aug 2016, p.115]

    The guitar tones and drum sounds are worthy of a review in themselves, micro-nuanced even within a track, and set in a 3D space that both breathes and is right up in your face at the same time.

    There's more meaty and time-honored blues extractions on the title track and the four-square Zeppelinism of Black Coffee, but somehow, particularly on Fade Out's balladic angular grind, these journeymen lack the emotional oomph to tear your heart out, or, indeed, shake your money maker. [Jul 2016, p.96]
