Formation and early years (2012–2015)
Josh and Jake Kiszka, their younger brother Sam, and Kyle Hauck all formed the band in Frankenmuth, Michigan, in 2012. Kyle Hauck was inspired by a relative's mention of Gretna Van Fleet, a Frankenmuth resident, so their use of the spelling changed was done with her (subsequent) blessing. Van Fleet also stated in a later interview that although the band's music isn't her type, she supports the band and thinks they are really talented. The band recorded three songs, "Cloud Train," "Highway Tune," and "Standing On" at the time. 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 early as 2010, but it was rereleased as a single in March 2017. On February 28, 2014, a live EP was released on February 28, 2014, a one-take and broadcast.
In March 2014, the band "Standing On" was included in 2014 Chevrolet Equinox commercials in the Detroit area. "Standing On" is one of many songs to accompany "By the Riverside," "Cloud Train," "Down to the River," and "Motown Funk No. 88" is one of many others. "Sing in the Rain," "Thunder Stomp," "Occidentalli," and "Written in Gold" were earlier announced, but are now out of print.

In addition to the four tracks from Black Smoke Rising, From the Fires features the new albums "Edge of Shadow" and "Talk on the Street," as well as Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" and "Meet on the Ledge." The four new songs were recorded at Rustbelt Studios in Royal Oak, Michigan, and were produced by Al Sutton and Marlon Young, the same pair who made Black Smoke Rising in September 2017. 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) at the Dow Event Center in Saginaw, Michigan.

The band unveiled "My Way, Soon" on October 9, 2020, along with a music video that was shot, edited, and directed by the band. The song was supposed to appear on their forthcoming second album, which, according to Wagner, was a hazy reminder that we had been shielded by a lot of things, but a lot of people were unaware of a few things."
