[From All Music.com-Stephen Thomas Erlewine] Employing an earworm-heavy blend of hard rock and blues, Greta Van Fleet emerged in the mid-2010s while the bandmembers were still in their teens. Raised on a steady diet of classic FM vinyl, the sibling-led group's brawny blend of stadium rock and rhythm & blues evoked both the Who and Led Zeppelin, with the latter act looming large due to frontman Josh Kiszka's sonic similitude to Zep crooner Robert Plant. Choice placement in a 2017 
episode of Showtime's Shameless drove the fiery single "Highway Tune" up the charts, and by 2018 the band were appearing on everything from The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to Elton John's Academy Award Party. Anthem of the Peaceful Army, the group's 2018 debut album, cemented Greta Van Fleet's status as the most commercially successful American rock band of their generation, a position they consolidated with The Battle at Garden's Gate, their 2021 sophomore set. That album cracked the Top Ten of the Billboard 200, paving the way for 2023's Starcatcher, an album they recorded with top Nashville producer Dave Cobb.
