Greta Van Fleet’s new studio album Starcatcher debuted at No. 1 on multiple Billboard rock charts.

While Starcatcher landed at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart, it hit No. 1 on the Top Rock Albums, Top Hard Rock Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums, in addition to charting internationally in Germany (No.2), Switzerland (No. 2), Belgium (No. 4), Austria (No. 6), the Netherlands (No. 7), the UK (No.8), Italy (No. 18)) and Canada (No. 19).

Starcatcher is the band’s second top 10 album, following 2021’s The Battle at Garden’s Gate. Lead singer Josh Kiszka said of the new LP:  “Starcatcher is a dangerous and delightful expedition into a both violent and gentle dreamlike landscape. A purgatory of duality where brutality and beauty clash like a thunderstorm of stillness. Neither fact nor fiction inhabit the far reaches of this surrealist world. A storybook for the fighters and lovers alike Starcatcher captures a certain wonder on the fringe of mayhem.”

Greta Van Fleet is currently on the road for their “Starcatcher” World Tour, which includes stops at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York and The Forum in Los Angeles as well as London’s OVO Arena Wembley and more.

“Ultimately, Asia was unable to meet these high expectations with their sophomore effort, Alpha. Even though the lead single “Don’t Cry” climbed to No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983, the band was never the same following the song’s success.” ,Rob Carroll wrote for ultimateclassicrock.com.

“We never saw it coming that Mick wasn’t going to be able to tour and was going to have to quit the band,” said Sixx. “In the middle – not even the middle – of a huge tour, we had to ask ourselves, ‘Do we want to let the fans down? Do we want to let Live Nation down? Do we want to let [tourmates] Def Leppard down? Do we want to let ourselves down because an original member of our band can’t tour anymore? We had to have a deep, deep look into what we were going to do.”, written by Chad for loudwire.com.

“Reid, who was born in Surrey in 1947, entered the Croydon School of Art in 1968, where he met Malcolm McLaren, future manager of Sex Pistols. “We were both into situationism and Guy Debord’s The Society of the Spectacle, and would feed each other information,” Reid said in a 2018 interview with Another Man. “For me, Malcolm was the greatest conceptual artist of the 20th century.”, Allison Rapp wrote for ultimateclassicrock.com.
