2x GRAMMY-nominated band Rival Sons have shared a new single – “Bird In The Hand” – which is available today on all streaming platforms. It stands out as the latest anthem to be unveiled from the group’s anxiously awaited new full-length album, DARKFIGHTER, set for release on June 2nd and available for pre-order / pre-save now [album art / tracklisting below].
Commenting on the new track vocalist Jay Buchannan noted, “There’s a lyric in there, ‘Let’s go down to the river where the water runs still and deep, to scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be.’ You can burn through a whole lot of time just trying to find your lane, your realized intention. At some point you accept reincarnation as a waking process. Build, refine and burn again and again and the lyric, ‘A bird in the hand, now that’s a miracle I can believe’ is the immersive commitment to the present.”
In support of their forthcoming album, Rival Sons will embark on an extensive five-week North American headline run deemed “The DARKFIGHTER Tour,” which will feature support from The Black Angels, The Record Company, and Starcrawler on select dates [tour itinerary below]. The trek kicks off on May 11th in Oklahoma City, OK at the Diamond Ballroom, visits major markets across the country, and concludes on June 18th in Denver, CO at the Ogden Theatre. In between, the band will perform at a handful of festivals such as Welcome To Rockville in Daytona Beach, FL on May 20th and Sonic Temple in Columbus, OH on May 27th. Tickets for all dates are on sale today at 10:00AM local time. For more information on Rival Sons’ upcoming live dates, visit www.rivalsons.com.
