Atlas Rivers Biography
In the of summer 2024 a series of long-distance, online collaborations between old friends exploded into life as the
emotive, expansive, sound of Atlas Rivers.
The story began in North Cumbria- an intense formative period exploring diverse but common musical reference points
including Pixies, Radiohead and The Killers, until the trio were pulled towards life and work in all corners of the world.
After years absorbing influences ranging from indie rock, folk and pop to contemporary classical and electronic
music, Steve (guitar vocals), Glen (bass, vocals) and Gav (drums, vocals) are now based in Manchester, Carlisle and
Barcelona, somehow making it work.
Launched in late 2024 with the band’s first live shows in Manchester and Stockport, three self-released
singles have shown a slow but steady build in momentum, with radio play including Sheffield Live, Gorgeous
Radio, 6 Towns radio and a featured artist slot on on Tameside radio. Second single The Vanishing was
described as an “anthemic masterpiece” by Cage Riot while energetic follow-up Revolutionary was
praised by US journalist Landon Buford as “a spirit lifting song [conveying] empowerment and change”.
Early reviewers are challenged to draw comparisons, citing a new and original direction in indie
rock. Still drawing from diverse influences, the group themselves look to contemporaries such as
Fontaines D.C , IDLES and Picture Parlour while charting their own, unique course- instrumental
flourishes around strong core melodies and driving guitars, with layers of samples and backing
vocals building a heavy, alternative sound.
Now working with the support of South City Studios in Stockport, the band is already
moving through a sequence of four single releases before summer 2025, supported by live shows in North West England.
