There's no middle ground with Michigan-based hard rock quartet Greta Van Fleet. You either think they're the savior messiahs of rock & roll music, or you think they're a pale cloying imitation of a bad Led Zeppelin cover band, or you haven't been paying attention. For such a fledgling band to have popped up from out of nowhere and inspire such concentrated amounts of equal parts praise and vitriol is a remarkable feat in these modern times, when rock music is increasingly less relevant.
Their studio debut Anthem Of The Peaceful Army was no exception. Upon its release in 2018 they were treated to a wealth of criticism, a sizeable chunk of which was overwhelmingly negative; including a particularly infamous 1.6 out of 10 review from Pitchfork Media, and declared of Greta Van Fleet: "They make music that sounds exactly like Led Zeppelin and demand very little other than forgetting how good Led Zeppelin often were."
Harsh words from a typically harsh publication, but are they deserved? Are Greta Van Fleet here to save rock music or just another cynical ploy towards nostalgia-fetishism? That's what we intend to find out on this new episode of Jukebox Zeroes, in which Lilz & Patrick are joined by Clinton Degan of Body English to peel the retro-onion that is Anthem Of The Peaceful Army.
