'Organically arranged folk compositions soar between introspective verse & contemplative choruses. Universal scaled themes scattered amongst personal reflections. Expect tinges of jazz & blues from this awesome folk-rock band.' Toby Prin.

'A charismatic lead singer, in his manner like Jim Morrison and with a strong vocal that reminded me of a young Peter Gabriel.' Claire Sully.

Rivers of England are a Bath-based alt folk-rock band fronted by Rob Spalding. Their new album, Astrophysics Saved My Life, is made up of strong melodies and engaging compositions on themes ranging from the inner self to the outer cosmos - the emotional to the scientific. Though still rooted in folk with beautiful string arrangements, the band has made further forays into jazz, blues and rock.​

The band have received critical acclaim for their new album 'Astrophysics saved my life' and achieved national radio play while touring in Germany (Deutschland Radio Kultur) with sell-out gigs including the first of many planned performances in a Planetarium.

It has been suggested that Rivers of England's music fits somewhere between that of Alasdair Roberts and John Martyn. Although rooted in folk, their music explores jazz, rock and blues influences which are wonderfully apparent in their recordings and suggestive of a band with an altogether much broader and original take on the genre.

The new album features a plethora of fine musicians including strings and the guest appearances of blues-rock legend and former Robert Plant guitarist Innes Sibun on three of the tracks.'
