Rival Sons releases “Bird In The Hand” single, announces US tour

California-based band Rival Sons has shared a new single “Bird In The Hand“, which is now available on all streaming platforms. The cut is the third single to be plucked from the group’s upcoming album “Darkfighter” and you can pre-order/save the album here.

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.“

Rival Sons‘ upcoming album “Darkfighter” will be released on June 2 and will be followed by a second LP, “Lightbringer”, which will arrive later in the year.

In support of their forthcoming opus, the band 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 11^th in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at the Diamond Ballroom, visits major markets across the country, and concludes on June 18^th in Denver, CO at the Ogden Theatre.
