RIVAL SONS frontman JAY BUCHANAN comments:

„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.”

RIVAL SONS drummer MICHAEL MILEY adds:

„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…”

HEAD DOWN is due to be released on September 17th, and was recorded with Grammy-nominated producer DAVE COBB (JAMIE JOHNSON, SHOOTER JENNINGS) and Grammy-winning engineer VANCE POWELL (JACK WHITE, THE WHITE STRIPES, KINGS OF LEON).

The album is available to pre-order now on CD, digi-sleeve CD and limited edition audiophile vinyl. A special stencil edition hand-made by the band themselves is also available exclusively from the Earache Webstore.
