From a small village in Michigan they set out to conquer the world. The three very young brothers Kiszka and a drummer founded the band as teenagers and are no less than the new star in the rock sky, perhaps destined for a similar path as the Kings of Leon. Known for their exuberant live performances, they also succeed in translating this energy into 10 varied songs. The varied interplay, the refined songwriting, the charismatic, intoxicating voice of 20-year-old Joshua Kiszka and the dynamic style of classic rock, which includes folk, psychedelic and hard rock, skilfully declaim the rock history of the 60s / 70s. The fervour of the voice is reminiscent of the young Robert Plant, the songs work with the stunning dynamics of hard riffs, massively grooving rhythms and acoustic interludes as the founding fathers of Led Zeppelin once did. The Blues Pills made a career in blues psych rock, GVF can do the same with this convincing retro album. *Republic
