Rising classic rockers Greta Van Fleet<\/a> have released a new single. The new song’s arrival comes after a flurry of social media activity, during which the band managed to convince some fans they had broken up<\/a> before confirming that they actually hadn’t<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All of which brings us to the strutting Play Your Games, a song that will delight those who love the band for their sonic resemblance to Led Zeppelin<\/a>, and yet dismay those who claim not to like the band for the same reason.<\/p>\n

“The flagship of that song is irreverence,\u201d says guitarist Jake Kiszka, enigmatically. “It\u2019s this beautiful nature of seizing a moment.”<\/p>\n

Play Your Games was recorded in Tennessee with producer Mike Elizondo, a prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of rap mogul Dr Dre, who has also worked with the likes of Eminem, Fiona Apple, Turnstile, Sheryl Crow, Linkin Park<\/a>, Carrie Underwood, Mastodon<\/a>, Ry Cooder<\/a> and Twenty One Pilots.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the video for the song was directed by Nikola Crnobrnja from Moonbase, a Canadian digital agency whose clients include hip hop stars A$AP Rocky, Drake and Lil Wayne. The company also worked on last year’s rebranding of Motown Records.<\/p>\n

News of Play Your Games’ release comes just two days after Greta Van Fleet completed an intimate, sold-out show at New York City’s 575-capacity Bowery Ballroom. The show, which was the band’s first since they played at the Soundside Music Festival in Bridgeport, CT, in September 2024, saw the band perform a 12-song set that ended with two new songs: Tear It Down and Play Your Games.<\/p>\n

Greta Van Fleet have not yet announced any touring plans, nor any details of an album to follow up 2023’s Starcatcher<\/a>. <\/p>\n
