Rival Sons - Head Down

Head Down is the third studio album by American rock band Rival Sons, originally released in September 2012 via Earache Records.

Formed in 2009 from the ashes of guitarist Scott Holiday’s previous band Black Summer Crush (which featured Michael Miley on drums and Robin Everhart on bass), Rival Sons took shape when singer Jay Buchanan was persuaded to come in as vocalist on the re-recording of the band's debut Before the Fire. Rival Sons currently features bassist Dave Beste after Robin Everhart left in August 2013.

Grammy-nominated band Rival Sons release a remastered version of their 2012 album Head Down on their own label Sacred Tongue Recordings. The critically acclaimed third full-length album was widely celebrated as a game-changer for the band garnering accolades from across the globe.

Head Down, includes the hit single and fan favourite Keep On Swinging, plus poppy retro dance numbers "Until The Sun Comes" and "Wild Animal."

An album that showcases the versatility of Rival Sons, Head Down also includes the classic ballad of death and loss "Jordan" and Manifest Destiny Parts 1 & 2, an epic stonking room shaker of betrayal and revenge of the Native American People.

This double album 2LP record set is a limited 2024 reissue on California kingsnake coloured vinyl housed in an embossed gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves and remastered audio, pressed in the US via Sacred Tongue Recordings and Thirty Tigers.
