I just found out that Greta Van Fleet, the Grammy Award-winning rock band, was the musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on September 21, and I’m still trying to pick my jaw up from the floor. I mean, who wouldn’t want to watch a band that’s been accused of sounding like a Led Zeppelin cover band play their new single “Saw You Stand” on live TV? 📺
The band’s new album, “Palace For The People”, is set to be released on October 9 via Republic Records, and I’m sure it’ll be a game-changer. I mean, who needs originality when you can just recreate the sound of a legendary band from the 70s? 🤷♂️ According to the band’s lead guitarist, Jake Kiszka, “As much as it is a Greta Van Fleet record and a rock and roll record at its core, in its heart, it’s a very modern record.” Yeah, sure, Jake, because nothing says “modern” like a band that sounds like they were transported from the 1970s. 🕰️
The Album That Will Change the World (or Not)
The album was recorded in Tennessee in the spring of 2026 and was co-produced by the band and Mike Elizondo, who has worked with Turnstile, Eminem, and Fiona Apple. I’m sure his production skills will bring a unique touch to Greta Van Fleet’s sound, but let’s be real, it’s still going to sound like Led Zeppelin. 🙄 The band’s lead singer, Josh Kiszka, shared that “We love each other just as much as ever, if not more, because we’ve got to spend quality time together off of the road.” Aww, that’s sweet, Josh, but can you please just release some new music that doesn’t sound like a carbon copy of someone else’s work? 🎸
The album title “Palace For The People” was inspired by the band’s sold-out 2022 world tour, where they headlined the venue before selling out Wembley Arena. Because, you know, selling out a venue is a great way to come up with a profound album title. 🙄 The title is also inspired by the origin story of London’s Alexandra Palace, which was created as a gathering place for the public. Yeah, because that’s exactly what Greta Van Fleet’s music is – a gathering place for people who love rock music from the 1970s. 🤝
What to Expect from the Album (Spoiler Alert: It’s More of the Same)
The album’s track listing includes songs like “Into The Beginning”, “Tear It Down”, and “Saw You Stand”. I’m sure these songs will be totally original and not at all reminiscent of Led Zeppelin’s discography. 🙄 The band has also been working on other projects, like Sam Kiszka and Danny Wagner playing on Langhorne Slim’s 2026 album “The Dreamin’ Kind”, and Jake Kiszka appearing in the Bruce Springsteen biopic “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere”. Because, you know, being in a successful rock band isn’t enough – you have to branch out and do other things too. 🤔
Greta Van Fleet’s most recent album was 2023’s “Starcatcher”, which I’m sure was a huge success and not at all a disappointment to fans who were expecting something new and original. 🙄 The band has become one of the defining rock bands of their generation, known for their platinum-selling records, Grammy wins, and huge international arena and stadium tours. Because, you know, selling out arenas and winning Grammys is all that matters in the music industry. 🏆
In conclusion, Greta Van Fleet’s new album “Palace For The People” is sure to be a masterpiece (said no one ever). 🙄 I mean, who needs originality and creativity when you can just recreate the sound of a legendary band from the 1970s? 🤷♂️ But hey, if you’re into that sort of thing, go ahead and give it a listen. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you. 😂
