     Greta Van fleet is a new rock band that surfaced into top charts in 2017, and they have blown up rapidly on radio, social media, T.V. etc. Most of their singles are on the Billboard top 100 charts and they have already made the top 10 in mainstream rock charts twice in the last year. Their concerts get sold out quickly, and their success is a raging fire re-igniting the rock scene across America.  With all of this going on, the band hasn’t even released a full debut album yet. Greta Van Fleet has four band members in total. Josh and Jake who are twins, their younger brother Sam, and their friend Danny, who recently took the reigns as their percussionist in 2014. They grew up in the small town of town in Frankenmuth, MI.

     The band claims to be heavily influenced by rock and roll legend super groups like Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Aerosmith, The Who and Led Zeppelin. All of their singles landed on a music producers’ desk in Michigan, and he gave them a deal right on the spot. Their label is Republic Records.

     Greta Van Fleet has a very iconic sound, and is often compared to another rock band form the 70’s, Led Zeppelin. Some people don’t like Greta Van Fleet because of that reason. I personally like the band and all of their singles. It is good that there is a band out there that is performing and making music with more of rock and roll vid because there is not a lot of rock and roll in today’s popular music.  Most people think Greta Van Fleet is the next Led Zeppelin. I don’t think so because all of their songs are original and this band is still at the early stages of their careers.  Greta is a landmark of diverse originality in today’s times, and is truly a talent worthy of more recognition. Their work continues! Stay tuned for Cavalier Radio’s review of their new album, Anthem of the Peaceful Army which releases on October 19th.

Steve Perry, the lead singer and front band for Journey broke his musical silence of 20 years, and has released a new album on October 5, 2018. Back in the day the band Journey sold over 48 million albums. Over the years Steve Perry said that he lost his love for music and Journey and Steve Perry went their separate ways. But, in 2017 Journey briefly reunited no stage at the rock n roll hall to be inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame.

As of right now Steve Perry is back with his new album called Traces. Steve gives credit to a woman that he met in 2011 named Kelly Nash and fell in love. Kelly Nash was battling breast cancer. Sadly in 2012 she passed. This album was a way for Steve to cope with the passing of Kelly. Before Kelly passed she wanted Steve to promise her that he wouldn’t go back into isolation.

A review by Alex Maiorana

           The Gorillaz released an album in June of 2018 and since then I have been unable to stop listening. The album mixes pop beats with melancholy moods along with a particular synth that only the Gorillaz seem to achieve and makes for a great listen. The focus is isolation which can be both heard through the album and seen by the lack of featured artist who normally take up a large portion of the tracks. The album is the idealistic solo record from the lead singer of the cartoon band.

         The album begins with Humility, which has a very summer-pop-synth feel with a constant bass line that doesn’t seem to end, that paired with guitarist George Benson’s skills makes for an interesting first track. The song itself seems to pull you in, but not enough to really sweep you off your feet, but enough to leave you wanting more. It feels like a traditional Gorillaz song with their own off brand type of pop.

       Damon Albarn, the creator and lead singer of Gorillaz, Is a pretty politically driven person and in several of his songs seem to allude to the goings on in Britain, such as leaving the EU. The somber tones of his vocals mixed with space-synth and some bass rhythms in One Percent leave a bit of a bitter sweet taste in the ear, but being followed by Souk Eye settles the mood. The vocals again mixed with the familiar minor-synths and space pop sounds, backup vocals, and finger picking give a much different feel. The song is upbeat, but keeps its melancholy mood with phenomenal bass input and of course Albarn’s iconic vocals.

Here is what the good people at Cavalier Radio are currently listening to during summer. This list consists of artists like Sam Hunt, Billy Currington, Sean Paul & many more. So sit back, relax enjoy the summer weather with this playlist on repeat!
