Greta Van Fleet’s ‘My Way, Soon’ Tops Billboard’s ‘Mainstream Rock Airplay’ Chart
The track also features on the hard rockers’ new album, ‘The Battle At Garden’s Gate’, set for release on April 16.
Greta Van Fleet’s “My Way, Soon” has topped Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. It is the Michigan rockers’ fifth No. 1, following “Highway Tune” (September 2017), “Safari Song” (February 2018), “When The Curtain Falls” (November 2018) and “You’re The One” (March 2019).
“My Way, Soon” is taken from the band’s second album, The Battle At Garden’s Gate, which will be out on April 16 via Lava/Republic Records.
A bold evolution from the band’s 2018 full-length debut Anthem Of The Peaceful Army, The Battle At Garden’s Gate came together primarily on the road or while in the studio after the runaway success of 2017’s “Highway Tune” led to the band packing up, leaving home, and eagerly soaking up new experiences on an extended road trip around the world.
Over the past three years, Greta Van Fleet — vocalist Josh Kiszka, guitarist Jake Kiszka, bassist Sam Kiszka, and drummer Danny Wagner — played to hundreds of thousands of people across North America, Europe, Japan, Australia, South America and New Zealand.
While driving to gigs, the first-time world travelers passed many unfamiliar sights, from the favelas in Sao Paulo to the Gold Coast of Australia and everywhere in between, meeting and enjoying conversations with fans and other musicians that opened up new worlds to them. To cap off the change-filled era, the quartet moved from Michigan to Nashville, immersing themselves in Music City’s rich history. The melding of all these experiences opened their eyes to amazing new worlds of culture, history, philosophy and spirituality — and ushered in an entirely new way of looking at life and the approach to their music.
“The Battle At Garden’s Gate” was recorded in Los Angeles with Greg Kurstin (Foo Fighters, Paul McCartney) and is described in a press release as “ambitious and expansive,” marked by epic journeys such as the second single, “Age Of Machine”, and “My Way, Soon”, which boasts a towering chorus hook and rip-it-up-and-start-again lyrics.
The Battle At Garden’s Gate is out on April 16 and can be pre-ordered here.
