Ozzy Osbourne on Rival Sons: “I saw Rival Sons perform and was very, very impressed. The are one of the best of the up and coming bands in their genre…” The Long Beach hard-rock band is the real deal, and Hollow Bones is its 5th studio album. Electrifying rock ’n’ roll ensues from the opening seconds, and the no-frills quartet fires away on 9 songs with much of the soul/funk/blues flare that’s become the essence of its sound. Check out the single “Hollow Bones Pt.1,” which stuns by capturing the feel of the heydays of the genre, or “Black Coffee,” a breathtaking cover of a Humble Pie tune. “Thundering Voices,” “Pretty Face,” and the acoustic smash that is “All That I Want” are other standouts. This is the indie-exclusive edition, which features a picture insert SIGNED by the band.
