About Me


Yorkshire Evening Post of Wustock 2007 performance:
"Whenever you watch Rivers it feels like we and they are on the cusp of a revolution. 'There Are Angels' should be number 1: their performance feels like a piece of genius"
Ben Bradford
LeedsMusicScene.net review of support slot with Milburn:
"Rivers bring straight up Rock and Roll/Indie-Pop to the table. The new single sounded like it had potential to be a possible anthem in the making and the crowd certainly gave their approval as there were chants to be heard towards the end"
Nick Appleyard
LeedsMusicScene.net review of support slot with Nikoli:
"It has to be said that Rivers' energy and passion shines through especially on songs like 'There Are Angels' and 'Where Are You Tonight'. They finish with a drunken ode to a mate's birthday ('Girl') and final stomper 'Coming Home'. All top stuff and all good rocking fun. Singer Jack and bass man Rob make an interesting combination. Jack is like the Tasmanian Devil, spitting out rock tunes which cross over from The Roses and Oasis to, surprisingly, Pixies and then back again. "
Chris Woolford
Sandman Magazine's demo review:
"On ‘There Are Angels’ There are some really nice ideas and there’s some really clever vocals, a quality chorus, and some good hooks. I can just picture the band playing 'Girl' live and everybody just being totally enraptured in the performance""
Sean Davey
This is Ull's demo review:
"Somewhere between Iggy Pop and The Editors, Jack's vocal, immediate, feels warm and meaningful and the guitar section, two thirds in, captivates with every rising note."
Michelle Dee
This is Ull's live review:
"'There Are Angels" tells of a sentiment that we can all relate to, "Come on keep it together, I know we'll be alright..." this one flies off the stage. It was like watching Wily Coyote after eating a handful of Acme earthquake pills. Rivers played a lively set and are definitely worth a return gig. Come back to Hull and sing more silent songs to us."

The last year has been, not unlike most in life full of highs, lows, frustration and keeping on. The loss of our good friend Chewy on bass took some time to get over, with Ryan and me, we'd lived in e...
