Greta Van Fleet “Starcatcher” Album Review

I first discovered Greta Van Fleet when they released their first EP From The Fires in 2017.

At first, I thought their songs sounded like lost Led Zeppelin songs, which is not a bad thing.  In fact, they still get compared to Zeppelin all the time.

However, once I bought all their music, I discovered they are very much a band that could have time traveled from the 70s into the present or vice versa, which again, is not a bad thing.

They are not a Zeppelin clone or anyone’s clone.  They are just a young band with a retro sound, but again, that’s not a bad thing.  I love it.

And their latest album, Starcatcher, is a natural follow up to all their previously released albums.

They have remained consistent but yet are still growing.

All the band members are brothers, except for one member, and they’ve known him forever.

This band is still young, but I can tell you that their music is very big sounding.

They are a phenomenal live band.  They have a big rock show and their fans are sooooo into them.  They know every word to every song and in my mind, aside from Foo Fighters, they are the biggest rock band in the world right now.

Us rock fans need more bands like Greta Van Fleet.

And I think we have several great ones out there now (The Struts, Dirty Honey, Mammoth WVH, Rival Sons, Lost Hearts, Classless Act, just to name a few).

I have not been this hopeful about the future of rock maybe ever.  But I am now.

So rock on Greta Van Fleet and keep doing what you’re doing.
