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 invoked 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 was appearing on everything from The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to Elton John's Academy Award Party.
