It wasn't too long after the release of the EP Black Smoke Rising that Greta Van Fleet took off like gangbusters and became the most talked about band in 2017.

From that first guitar riff from Jake and that first scream from Josh on their first single "Highway Tune" it wasn't long at all before Greta Van Fleet became a household name.

After the second EP, "From the Fires" which included "Safari Song", it wasn't long before Greta Van Fleet started making their rounds of the late-night television circuit.
