Check this out
Rival Sons are often compared to sounds of the 1970s yet they cite Prince, D’Angelo and The Roots as influences alongside Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf.
Jay has listed artists from Joni Mitchell to Sly and the Family Stone amongst his influences, often stating Van Morrison as one of his heroes. “I can’t overstate his influence on me as a writer and vocalist” – Louder Sound. The band are often cited for the sartorial style as well as their musical style, with Scott Holiday known for working with tailor Ray Brown and the band often wearing boots by UK bootmaker Jeffery West. Scott Holiday is known for his slim-line tailored suits, moustache and sunglasses, Jay Buchanan’s style is unpredictable including wearing flowers in his hair, flowing floral shirts and tight leather suits.
