RIVAL SONS: 'Keep On Swinging' Video Released

September 6, 2012

"Keep On Swinging", the new video from California blues rockers RIVAL SONS, can be seen below. The band once again worked with director Greg Ephraim, who also helmed the group's "Pressure And Time" and "All Over The Road" clips.

Commented RIVAL SONS frontman Jay Buchanan: "Shooting the video for 'Keep On Swinging' was a pleasure. Snake handling while wailing to a congregation in an old church is pretty high up there on the list of odd ways to pass the time; excuse me while I go to hell."

Added RIVAL SONS drummer Michael Miley: "We recently returned from an exciting expedition; it was an adventure. The Spirit was moving in that room. We were playing in a church somewhere in the South (can't reveal exact location) and had to convince this congregation we could be a musical catalyst for the casting out of demons; we succeeded. We had to tame snakes with our music. There was a swarm of ravens. A girl that was baptized was on fire! Crazy stuff! And it was all caught on tape... I'm sure it will be all over the interwebs soon. Be on the lookout."

RIVAL SONS will celebrate the release of "Head Down" with an exclusive track-by-track audio commentary on Spotify.

The commentary will be featured on Spotify from September 17 alongside "Head Down", and includes the bandmembers talking about the meanings and inspiration behind all thirteen mind-blowing tracks on the new album.

"Head Down" will be released in Europe on September 17 via Earache Records. The CD, which will be made available in the U.S. in November, was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee with Grammy-nominated producer Dave Cobb (JAMIE JOHNSON, SHOOTER JENNINGS) and Grammy-wining engineer Vance Powell (JACK WHITE, THE WHITE STRIPES, KINGS OF LEON). The artwork was created by Jason Holley (JOSH RITTER, RAY LAMONTAGNE) and can be seen below.
