Formation and early years (2012–2015)
Josh and Jake Kiszka, the band's younger brother Sam, and Kyle Hauck were all present in Frankenmuth, Michigan, in 2012. Kyle Hauck heard a relative mention Gretna Van Fleet, a resident of Frankenmuth, and their use of the letters changed on her name led to her (subsequent) blessing. In a later interview, Van Fleet revealed that although the band's music isn't her style, she supports the band and thinks they are extremely talented. The band recorded three songs, "Cloud Train," "Highway Tune," and "Standing On" at the time, with Hauck as the drummer. Hauck was forced to leave the band in October 2013 and was replaced as drummer by Danny Wagner, the brothers' good friend. Guitarist Jake Kiszka's first guitar riff for "Highway Tune" was cited as being published as early as 2010, but in March 2017, it was rereleased as a single. On February 28, 2014, a live EP was released and released on June 7, 2014.
In March 2014, they released their song "Standing On" in Chevrolet Equinox advertisements in the Detroit area. One of many songs on the album, "By the Riverside", "Cloud Train," "Down to the River," and "Motown Funk No. 10" is one of several. "Sing in the Rain," "Thunder Stomp," "Occidentalli," and "Written in Gold" were previously announced but are now out of print.
On January 17, 2016, the band's album "Highway Tune" was released as a live performance on the showtime show Shameless. The band's first official single, "Highway Tune," was released on iTunes on March 31, 2017. On April 2, 2017, iTunes launched "Highway Tune," which was released on iTunes. "Highway Tune" was the song's music video, which was exclusively on Loudwire on April 18, 2017. Black Smoke Rising, the band's debut EP, was released on April 21, 2017. Greta Van Fleet, the week's best artist of the week, was announced on April 21, 2017. During May 2017, the band toured with The Struts.

From the Fires' four tracks, "Edge of Shadow" and "Walk on the Street" are among the new Black Smoke Rising's "A Change Is Gonna Come" and "Walk on the Ledge" by Sam Cooke. The four new songs were recorded in September 2017 at Rustbelt Studios in Royal Oak, Michigan, and were created by Al Sutton and Marlon Young, the same pair who produced Black Smoke Rising. In October 2017, the band also released "Safari Song" as a single.
On September 7, Greta Van Fleet welcomed fellow Michigan native Bob Seger to the Dow Event Center in Saginaw, Michigan (just minutes from their hometown). In November 2017, the band announced that they would begin recording their first full-length studio album shortly after the debut of From the Fires, and that they anticipate its arrival in mid-2018.
On March 4, 2018, the band appeared at Elton John's Academy Award Party, at the host's personal request. John appeared onstage for Greta Van Fleet's "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" and their "You're the One" series. After the set, Elton John suggested that the band be more vibrant and flamboyant in terms of appearance and costume. The band performed "When the Curtain Falls," the first single off the band's forthcoming debut album on July 26, 2018.
On October 19, 2018, the Peaceful Army's debut album, Anthem of the Peaceful Army, was released. The name of the album "Anthem of the Peaceful Army" was taken from a poem's title, according to Josh Kiszka. It was the top-selling album in the United States during its debut week in 80,000 copies. It debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, factoring in album equivalent units.
The band was nominated for four Grammy Awards in December 2018 – Best New Artist, Best Rock Song for "Black Smoke Rising," Best Rock Song for "Black Smoke Rising," and Best Rock Album for From the Fires, the latter of which they received.
Greta Van Fleet performed "Black Smoke Rising" and his second single from Anthem of the Peaceful Army "You're the One" on Saturday Night Live on January 19, 2019.
