Biography:
Tight-as-fuck grooves, flanked by smart-arse chops and hemmed in by super-assured vocals, The Rivers are the sound of inner city life, channelled through the lifeblood of the English coast. Fresh out of the blocks from Brighton, The Rivers have been carving themselves deep into the souls of the UK as they write about what life deals them, juxtaposed against social observations, relationships, hope and fears which enable The Rivers to peddle their infectious hooks and skanking rhythms.

"Got Something On Me is potent enough to signal a bright future … it’s a bellow-yourself-hoarse anthem that, wisely, makes its point within two break-neck minutes” - Q4Music.com

“A thundering slice of smiley rock boasting a killer chorus that looks set to grab festival audiences” – Daily Star

"I have to say that these these guys have the potential to become the hottest Brit rockers of 2008. The first single reeks of the White Stripes and The Strokes" - The Sun
