    They are breathing new life into a classic sound, but they have the potential to make a new sound.

    This young band sound so eerily similar Led Zeppelin, you wish they'd back off a little. [25 Nov 2017, p.52]

    The future will not be too kind if subsequent efforts continue to climb the stairway to heaven, but there are worse ways to get your Led out. Ramble on, gents.

So for many they could be a reminiscence of a time when rock music was fresh and new but that's precisely what Greta Van Fleet lacks: freshness and novelty.… Full Review »

    Greta Van Fleet has a really cool Led-Zeppelin-esque sound and I cannot wait to see what they do next. This was a very solid debut
