Best Greta Van Fleet Songs Shirt

Greta Van Fleet is a rock band founded in Michigan, USA, in 2012. The group consists of the Kiszka brothers, twins Josh (vocals) and Jake (guitar), Sam (bass, guitar, keyboard) and Danny Wagner (drum).

Forming a music group has always been Jake’s dream. He joined a band in high school before forming his own group. The group started practicing in Jake’s garage and was named after the old lady Gretna Van Fleet that they once heard about (this old lady once gave an interview that, although the group’s music was not her taste, She is still very supportive and finds them very talented).

After a period of practice, the group began recording their own songs, gradually creating a reputation and thus signing a contract with Lava Records in March 2017. Just one month later, they released their debut EP, Black Smoke Rising, immediately receiving praise from magazines and awards. The debut single Highway Tune topped several Billboard rock charts. The group also quickly released another EP From The Fires the same year.

In March 2018, they were personally invited by Elton John to perform at his Oscar Party. 4 months later, they first appeared on television at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon! In October, they released their debut album, Anthem Of The Peaceful Army, which was the best-selling album in the US in its release week. Later this year, they received 4 Grammy nominations and won Best Rock Album for From The Fires.

The next two albums, The Battle At Garden’s Gate (2021) and Starcatcher (2023), also continue to achieve much success.

Greta Van Fleet’s music is classified as hard rock, blues rock and progressive rock. Although all four members like blues, each has their own preferences: Jake likes rock and roll, Sam likes jazz, Danny likes folk, and Josh likes international music.

However, they are often compared to Led Zeppelin – the legendary British group also consisting of 4 members: Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham and John Paul Jones.

Regarding this issue, Jake admitted that he “spent a year thoroughly researching what Page did to the point where I knew what he was thinking”. Josh said that Plant’s voice definitely had an influence on him “even though that’s not what I was aiming for”. It wasn’t even until high school that he learned about Led Zeppelin and his voice came out completely instinctively. Plant himself once referred to Greta Van Fleet as “Led Zeppelin I” and described Josh as a “lovely little singer”. In addition, Led Zeppelin’s drummer Bonham is also Danny’s idol.

But anyway, Greta Van Fleet is a young group and as Danny said, “we’re always turning the page”, the audience can still expect many new things from them.
