POPULARITY
Interview by Kris PetersIt's been five long years since US rock sensations Greta Van Fleet have toured Australia, but the band have announced they are returning for a string of shows across this country and New Zealand this August with a promise to make up for lost time.Greta Van Fleet have taken the world by storm following the breakthrough success of their 2017 EP From The Fires, which won the group Best Rock Album at the 61st Grammy Awards.From there the band - brothers, vocalist Josh Kiszka, guitarist Jake Kiszka and bassist/keyboardist Sam Kiszka plus drummer Danny Wagner - released well-received albums Anthem of the Peaceful Army (2018) and The Battle At Garden's Gate (2021) before unveiling Starcatcher in 2023.While their familiar brand of rock has captured the hearts and ears on a global scale, it is Greta Van Fleet's stunning live performances that have set the band apart from a multitude of similar outfits.Sam Kiszka sat down with HEAVY recently to discuss the upcoming tour."This is gonna be over the top," he enthused. "It's been way too long since we've been there. And, of course, like everybody else, I'm gonna say we had a tour planned, but then for some reason everything got cancelled… But now, finally, we're gonna be there, and I'm so excited because we love Australia." Sam's enthusiasm is so infectious, we have to point out how refreshing it is to hear someone genuinely excited about a tour."I know it sounds… It's like, at every show you can say 'oh yeah, Sydney, you're my favourite city in the world', but we fucken LOVE Australia, going to the beaches and going out and seeing the wildlife," he smiled convincingly. "You can get outside of the city so quick. It feels so good to be out of town in the middle of nowhere."We ask Sam what has changed with Greta Van Fleet since their last Australian tour in 2019."I guess a couple of albums," he laughed. "We've got two albums out since then, and, oh gosh… the show's a completely different experience. We're really happy to be finally coming to share the show, because we've always wanted to curate everything right down to a T. Everything. From the colour of the stage, to the light show, to the pyro that we're using and the music, and the jamming. We're, like, 'how much should we jam'… everything has changed since then. There are so many more songs that the show is so different. There's so many great moments in the show… Gosh, I'm so excited!"In the full interview Sam talks through the live show in greater detail, speaks of the nostalgia of playing at venues like Wembley and Madison Square Garden, any difficulties the band faces going from the euphoria of a sold-out stadium show to a smaller venue performance, their new album Starcatcher and how it has been received, capturing the band's live energy on that album, winning the Grammy in 2017 and what pressures it placed on the band, the temptation to replicate a winning album formula and more.For complete tour and ticket information, visit: gretavanfleet.com & livenation.com.au & livenation.co.nz
To their fans, Greta Van Fleet are brilliantly carrying the mantle of '70s arena rock into a new era. To their detractors, of which there are many and they are passionate, they are the embodiment of everything wrong in music today. Derivative to a fault and built for algorithms. In this episode, Joe makes the case for their Van Awesomeness.

The four Greta Van Fleet band members - Josh and his twin brother Jake Kiszka (guitars), younger brother Sam (bass, keyboards), and long-time family friend Danny Wagner (drums) - were still under the legal drinking age, and two of them hadn’t yet graduated from high school when their song "Highway Tune" became an international hit in 2017. However, within a few months, they left their safe and familiar family homes in Frankenmuth, Michigan, and entered a whole new – and entirely unanticipated – whirlwind of a world. After 246 sold-out tour dates in 13 countries over five continents, four consecutive #1 singles, an SNL appearance, a "Best Rock Album" Grammy Award, a personal phone call from Elton John inviting them to perform at his Academy Awards Viewing Party.Now they release their highly anticipated sophomore album, THE BATTLE AT GARDEN'S GATE, out now!!!
** Entrevue en anglais / Interview in english ** Greta Van Fleet, formation américaine composée entre autres de 3 frères, est aux dires de plusieurs, la digne héritière de Led Zeppelin. La fratrie, qui a grandi dans un univers infusé de blues, de folk et de rock '70s, doit son éducation musicale à l'imposante collection de vinyles disponible à la maison. Jake Kiszka, guitariste du groupe, nous parle de ses influences musicales bien sûr, mais aussi de la réalité de faire de la musique en famille. Il se confie sur cette dynamique particulière qui donne lieu à des moments de grande connivence, mais aussi à un processus de création parfois houleux. /// Greta Van Fleet, the American rock quartet created by the 3 Kiszka brothers is, according to many, the successor of Led Zeppelin. The brotherhood grew up in a household imbued with blues, folk and '70s rock music. Young guitar player Jake tells us about his musical upbringing, listening to his parent's vast vinyl collection, and how creating music with his brothers can either be a source of complicity or great tensions.

Who was their biggest musical influence on their career? Jake answers both of those questions in depth. The Kiszka brothers had a unique upbringing by today’s standards.

Mark's Interview with Greta Van Fleet guitarist Jake Kiszka
Cameron recently spoke to Greta Van Fleet guitarist Jake Kiszka at Rock on the Range in Columbus, OH. They discussed the band's upcoming debut full length album, how they fit in hard rock versus the mainstream, and much more.
Jake Kiszka is the guest on this mini ep as I chat with him while Greta Van Fleet was on tour in anticipation of their sold out show in Grand Rapids. This interview was done for a feature I'm still in the process of writing, so it's a little more Michigan centric than most of my other chats. We delve into some of the bands songs and how they've morphed over the years and ended up on their newest EP, Black Smoke Rising. What working with Al Sutton was like, and how the sudden success of the band is from their perspective.
