They are called imitators and same time people label them as modern savers of rock'n'roll. Whatever opinion was right, and Greta Van Fleet play so good so that a lot of critics, being in a light shock and compared these young guys with Led Zeppelin, The Who, Rush and other influential teams of the past generations.
It's fair to say that GVF music is really based on classic hard-n-heavy and blues-rock, which plunges us into those very legendary seventies. Indeed, many who once listened to with LZ or Black Sabbath, note a serious similarity in dirty reefs and the voice of vocalist Josh Kiszka with Robert Plant.
Let's listen because of what all this fuss:
Listening to some of the band's materials, I'd like to wrote a comment, like: "The feeling that this Zeppelins forgot to publish a couple of songs in the 70s". But I like. I do not think that such similarity is bad.
Think, in our time, from the musical conveyor, how much monotonous slag comes out that the Chinese are swallowing their saliva nervously at their factories on the night shift. If a new group - it means they have to play prog-metal or post-hardcore. Ideally, to dilute this cocktail with electronics - then definitely the youngsters will listen. Here we have a simple secret of popularity. So Greta Van Fleet - quite a powerful hammer in the head of modern musical trends. As on a hot day a sip of cool water with lemon.
Surprising is also the musical maturity of the band members, in spite of the fact that they are still quite young. By the way, GVF founded by three brothers Kiszka. Twins Josh (vocals) and Jacob (guitar), their younger brother Sam, playing bass and keyboards. On drums, Danny Wagner.
Brothers from the very childhood were interested in serious music, in particular blues and hard rock, which, naturally, laid the foundation in their personal creativity. Band formed in 2012 year. They were just a kids who barely raised their instruments.
In 2017, the first EP was released, with which the band not only topped Billboard's hit parade, but also received the prestigious Loudwire Music Awards. A little later, there was another EP with eight songs in the same spirit. Coming soon debut full-length album with new songs. It's interesting to hear what it will be like.
Perhaps Greta Van Fleet - it is the group that will be able to connect the younger generation to great music, captivating once the hearts of millions.
