The Rivers - She Gives It AroundThe Rivers - She Gives It Around

Now this was a pleasant surprise receiving 'She Gives It Around' by The Rivers, it’s the bands brand new single and the follow up to the extremely rocky 'Knock Me Down'. Now if you are unlucky enough not to of heard The Rivers yet, they are the latest promising band to come out of Brighton, a town that is totally buzzing and dominating in the music scene at the moment.

'She Gives It Around' is as good, if not better than the bands previous single, it’s pure indie rock but with the sound knocked up a notch or two, you can see elements of The Kooks and The Strokes in the bands sound, the chorus is huge sounding, very catchy and very rocky.

The b-side 'Fold For You' is such a chilled out acoustic song, it’s not great but it’s not bad, it does take a while to get into and there is enjoyment to be had in this song if you give it time. Acoustic music has always had a soft spot in my heart and it seems like a thing The Rivers enjoy playing as most of their b-sides are acoustic.

The Rivers are a cracking band and if they can keep up this formula of bettering themselves with each single release then they are going to enjoy some major success, they have already enjoyed support slots with Maximo Park and The Enemy and are shortly going to hit the road with The Kooks which is surely going to boost their ego and fan base by huge amounts.

5/5
