Apparently, the unspoken creed of Rival Sons is that if it isnt loud and in your face, then it isnt worth your time. Wed like to agree. The Los Angeles-based band has built quite a following on said belief system, if we can call it that, because at the very least it is something they hold close to their hearts. Some bands have the benefit of working an overall ambient sound, so much that they could be singing the phone book and it wouldnt matter. Others might as well have had Oscar Wilde penning their lyrics for them. In short, Rival Sons whose latest album, Pressure and Time, was released today is an amped up, beyond hard rockin manifestation of the two. They also have the decency to work a polished sheen so admirable that it could be argued its a self spit-shine job and not the work of over-over-producing. Long live the genuine article.
