GRETA VAN FLEET Return With New Single, Video "My Way, Soon" By Larry Petro, News Monkey Monday, October 12, 2020 @ 12:21 AM
When GRETA VAN FLEET released "Highway Tune" in March of 2017, a song that they wrote in their parent's garage before any of them had turned 18, they had no idea the change it would bring to their lives. The song would go on to become an international hit and Top Billboard's Mainstream Rock Singles chart. "Highway Tune" would be followed by three more consecutive #1 singles, a debut album that entered Billboard's Top Rock Albums and Top Album Sales charts at #1, a Grammy Award for "Best Rock Album," appearances on "The Tonight Show" and "Saturday Night Live," a Gold-certified debut album, an overflow crowd at their Coachella debut, a personal phone call from Elton John inviting them to perform at his Academy Awards Viewing Party, and most consequentially, 246 sold-out tour dates in 13 countries over five continents.
As Danny explains, "The definition of 'normal' has very much broadened over the past couple of years, and it has affected us as musicians, especially in the writing and recording of this new album. We realized that while growing up, we had been shielded by a lot of things, we were unaware of a lot of things. And then we were thrown out into this huge world, and it was a bit of a culture shock at first."
"We've seen how people live in different parts of the world," added Sam, "and we've developed intrinsic respect for different cultures and people. We've gone from driving down a highway to a show and seeing endless miles of shantytowns in Sao Paulo, to playing some of the richest places on earth."
Added Jake, "The more we've seen - different cultures, people, and traditions - we've also seen a similarity between ourselves and these different cultures. It surprises me how similar we all are."
