About Me


Born in the Flood was created in a little town of 2,700 people named Hermann Missouri. Look for us when we come to your town! Also check out "The Wheel", Nathaniel Rateliff's solo project. For complete disclosure of our lives as told by the press, go to bornintheflood.com.
"…something about 'If this things should spill' managed to bring every element of the band's brilliance- earthiness, vulnerability, heartbreaking truth- to the foreground all at once." - THE ONION
.""If This Thing Should Spill" sounds as fresh and engaging as when it was written. Rateliff's superhuman howl defines the group's sound, which draws the intimacy of confessional indie folk into a blistering rock arena fit for U2 or Radiohead." DENVER POST
· "Denver's Born in the Flood has managed to rise above emo-rock clichés with music that is powerfully emotional without wallowing in self pity." - BOULDER DAILY CAMERA / DIRT
· "“Sorrowful, charging and hypnotic... " - SYNTAX
