Fantastic, I've just had to be positive about a song I really was hoping I didn't and then God deals you a plum hand. The Rivers are a band that is so ten a penny it's a surprise that a couple of months on they still exist. Thankfully short its two minutes of clichéd rock and roll, with a chorus that effectively takes up most of the track and makes it just about bearable. Despite the fact it doesn't really make sense.

The best bit is however, proof that writing for the Sun requires no level of knowledge whatsoever, and a ludicrous claim that they are like the White Stripes and the Strokes. The closest I can come to making sense of that statement is are like the White Stripes after ten bottles of White lightening and well probably better not to put how they'd be like the Strokes. While it might sound like I'm being a little harsh, it is because the Rivers are a band that adds nothing to the Indie arena.
