Rival Sons premiere new song 'Tied Up' and reveal full album details

'Tied Up' is another tantalising taster ahead of the release of 'Hollow Bones' on 10th June

Published 20th May 2016

Long Beach blues rockers Rival Sons have unleashed a brand new song called ‘Tied Up’.

Lifted from their upcoming fifth album ‘Hollow Bones’, which lands on Friday 10th June, ‘Tied Up’ is an electrifying rock anthem packed with searing guitar hooks, powerful vocals and addictive melodies.

Lend your lugholes to the track here:

Recorded with double Grammy winner and longtime Rival Sons producer Dave Cobb, ‘Hollow Bones’ is the eagerly awaited follow-up to 2014’s acclaimed ‘Great Western Valkyrie’.

The nine-track record also boasts their cover of the 1948 classic ‘Black Coffee’, which they recorded for Record Store Day in April 2015.

Singer Jay Buchanan says: "Each record we've made has been part of a distillation toward revealing the band's essence. This record finally is the release of the unapologetic, wild beast that has long lived within the ribs of Rival Sons howling to be freed."

Having previously worked with the late-great Storm Thorgerson on 2011’s ‘Pressure & Time’, the band have drafted in artist Martin Wittfooth to create the ‘Hollow Bones’ cover.

Guitarist Scott Holiday says: "I discovered Martin Wittfooth about halfway through making 'Hollow Bones'. I was immediately drawn into his work.

“I loved his imagery with animals and felt it was calm and unnerving all at the same time. I also loved the touch of whimsy and beautiful psychedelic overtones he used. First time I saw his work, I immediately felt it was right for this album.

"I won't try to overly interpret the album cover or explain in detail why I believe it works perfectly with the album… but I can safely say I think this just might be my favourite cover of ours yet."
