Review
Alright, rock fans, let's crank it up and dive into Greta Van Fleet's 'From the Fires'! This 2017 EP is a thunderous declaration that classic rock isn't dead - it's just been waiting for the right band to set it ablaze again.
With four new tracks and four from their earlier EP 'Black Smoke Rising', this eight-song collection is a raw, electrifying ride that'll make you feel like you've time-traveled back to the golden age of rock. The Kiszka brothers and Danny Wagner channel the spirit of 70s rock gods, delivering urgent, retro-infused anthems that topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock and Active Rock charts.
But don't think these guys are one-trick ponies. Their covers of Sam Cooke's 'A Change Is Gonna Come' and Fairport Convention's 'Meet on the Ledge' show they've got range, blending soul and folk into their hard-rockin' mix. The album's theme? It's all about getting back to basics, inspired by good old-fashioned campfire storytelling. And let me tell you, this fire burned so bright it snagged a Grammy for Best Rock Album. If you're itching for some new tunes with an old-school punch, 'From the Fires' is your ticket to rock 'n' roll paradise! - Jett
