Greta Van Fleet is an American rock band known for their classic rock-inspired sound, powerful vocals, and high-energy performances. Formed in 2012 in Frankenmuth, Michigan, the band consists of three brothers—Josh Kiszka (vocals), Jake Kiszka (guitar), and Sam Kiszka (bass and keyboards)—along with drummer Danny Wagner. Their music draws heavily from the 1970s rock era, particularly influenced by bands like Led Zeppelin, with a blend of bluesy riffs, soaring vocals, and raw, analog production. Greta Van Fleet quickly gained attention with their 2017 EP Black Smoke Rising, featuring the breakout single "Highway Tune," which topped Billboard’s Mainstream Rock charts and introduced them as a young band with a powerful retro sound.
The band’s debut full-length album, Anthem of the Peaceful Army (2018), showcased their evolving sound and was met with both commercial success and critical acclaim, further establishing them as a major force in modern rock. Known for their intense live shows and throwback aesthetic, Greta Van Fleet has drawn a dedicated fanbase that appreciates their homage to classic rock while bringing a modern twist. Despite some critics drawing comparisons to Led Zeppelin, the band has continued to evolve with albums like The Battle at Garden's Gate (2021), featuring more complex themes and diverse influences. Greta Van Fleet remains a prominent act in the rock scene, admired for their dedication to classic rock’s spirit and for revitalizing interest in the genre among younger audiences.
