Don't Say You Love Me

By The Rivers 1st Single 'One Word' released on 8th October 2011 through Kompyla Records. It was released in time for their tour supporting THE SPECIALS on their 15 date UK Arena Tour.



One Word

Hailed as “reggae for a new generation,” sensational six-piece new age reggae band By The Rivers are releasing new single ‘Take Control’ on Kompyla Records.

By The Rivers were formed in Leicester in the Spring of 2010 by Nile Barrow and Jordan Birtles. It was with a strong passion for the music, style and culture of reggae that they began to create their own sound - a unique blend of reggae, ska, soul and afro-beat infused with social commentary and positive messages. Inspired by the likes of The Gladiators, Bob Marley and Culture, their infectious and energetic grooves matched with their thought provoking lyrics, make this collective stand out so luminously in the contemporary British music scene.

 ‘Take Control’ was written around the time of the 2010 Government elections in the UK and is an emotive song expressing the frustrations of voices not being heard when Government change was so desperately needed. The song aptly illustrates the feelings of the majority of the public in the UK, describing the stagnation of both the Tory and Labour party, the country once again plummeting into recession and the fear of future riots and destruction at the hands of a dissatisfied nation. The political sentiments are artfully juxtaposed by big brass sounds, a flowing reggae beat and soft melodic vocals, creating a ridiculously addictive and deeply insightful tune.
 
The single includes a magnificent remix of ‘Take Control’ by Radio Riddler, Fun Lovin’ Criminal’s side project. Fast and Frank play around with the track’s rhythm by replacing the bass, altering the tempo and incorporating in their own vocals and instruments, reworking the song into a dub style, giving it a fresh and unique edge. Also included is ‘Don’t Stand Alone’ a stunning acoustic track which soulfully reiterates the sentiments that our nation needs to unite in order to bring about change.

The boys have already made a credible  name for themselves on the music  scene, last year saw them supporting 2-tone legends The Specials on their 15 date UK arena tour playing 10,000 capacity venues and they have also previously supported the likes of Dawn Penn, Maxi Priest, John Holt, The Buzzcocks, The Beat and Fun Lovin’ Criminals. 
By The Rivers are a youthful and immensely talented band looking to reinstate soulful, new age reggae into the people of today’s lives. Expect big things from these boys.
