An Interview with Matthew Taylor of Dry the River! Dry the River are one of those bands where once a track of theirs comes on my player, I can't skip it. They take you into a world of tranquility which you will not want to leave once your get a glimpse of their heart-warming music. Their guitarist Matthew Taylor took the time to have a chat with me over the phone about Shallow Bed , live experiences, dinner and plenty more! AMBY: Well I’d like to start off by [...]

Dry The River might already have many, many plans for this year, but they had to go and outdo themselves by announcing yet another UK tour. The band, who are booked up right up until October, have added a whole of shows to coincide with their previously announced show at London Shepherd's Bush Empire. Their plans for the foreseeable future look something like this: APRIL 19 Manchester Academy 21 Aberdeen Café Drummond 22 Glasgow King Tuts 23 Belfast Limelight 27 Leeds Brudenell [...]
Dry the River’s debut LP, Shallow Bed, is emotive intensity as passionate as D.C. punk scenesters, but with a full bodied violin.
"I know it's got to stop love, but I don't know how." So cries Peter Liddle, two minutes into "New Ceremony".It's a single moment that encapsulates the magic of Shallow Bed. Lyrics that strike a true note. Their poignancy enhanced by Liddle's crumpled vocals, straight from the choir. All nestled amongst a fantastically rich soundbed. After the warm up of "Animal Skins" it is "New Ceremony", that first hits upon the refreshing brilliance that goes on to dominate this confident debut. Peter Liddle, Matthew Taylor, Will Harvey, Scott Miller and Jon Warren have a background in hardcore [...]
Seeing these guys at the Independent tonight.

Man munkelt: Die einzigen Musik-Genres, die dieser Tage von Labels gejagt werden sind Dubstep und Folk-Rock. Eines vorneweg: Dry The River machen keinen Dubstep Dry The River aus England sind als Mischung aus Arcade Fire, Fleet Foxes, Mumford and Sons und Kings of Leon wie geschaffen für den grossen Erfolg. Die BBC wusste es schon im Dezember des letzten Jahres: Dry The River wurden als eine von zwölf Bands ihrer Sound of 2012 Liste auserwählt, unsere Musikjahr zu prägen. Unter uns gesagt: Das [...]

Remember when the indie folk scene took off a few years ago? Festivals were awash with bands trying to be Mumford and Sons (who really weren't worth copying) and this left the market saturated. This culminated in 2011 being a fairly dull, uninspired year for new folk music. Luckily, though, it appears one band is looking to reinvent the folk scene for 2012, that band is Dry the River. Citing their influences as Bruce Springsteen , At the Drive-In and Modest Mouse , the London-based [...]
Yesterday, someone asked me what the first concert was I ever went to. Of course there were a lot of bands I saw that I can't really remember -- especially when my mum took me somewhere, or some tiny band that played at my town's local festival. However, the first gig where I at least [...]
If you were going to take a band with harmonies as sweet, lyrics as achingly personal, and beards as enviable as Dry The River and experience them play a stripped down, acoustic live set, where would you put them? A quiet river bank, maybe? A roof top overlooking some bright city far below? Probably not, all things considered, the buzzing hub of technological wizardry and widespread product-worship that is the Apple Store on London’s Regent Street. Nevertheless, it is up those familiar, shining stairs that we find the band this evening, or three of [...]
End of the Road Festival is one of the success stories in another year that has seen many smaller UK festivals cancelled or run at large loses due to poor ticket sales. It has managed to buck the trend, keeping to a modest 5,000 capacity and selling out several months in advance. It takes place on the 2-4 Septrember and if you're going you can find a handy clashfinder to determine what bands to see using this link . The reasons? Probably because the festival has grown [...]
Para quem não conhece, o Dry The River é mais uma bela adição ao revival do folk-rock, que já guarda pérolas como Fleet Foxes e Mumford & Sons . Eles chegaram no começo do ano com a incrível "New Ceremony" , que ainda vai ser muito bem recompensada em nossa lista do final de ano, mas desde então, nenhuma novidade sobre a banda além dos diversos shows e da promessa de um primeiro disco. Se tem o melhor adjetivo para o single anterior é "grandioso", é com uma alta expectativa que pudemos ouvir sua [...]
After two weeks on the naughty step, Friday Films triumphantly returns with more videos from beloved London acts: Beau & The Arrows - 0.7.9.3. Firmer, fiercer and more bass-boosted than previous numbers, this latest is more paranoid freak-out than hundrum electro-rock. [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] Erland & The Carnival - Springtime More upstanding, classic rock [...]
It's been seven hours and fifteen days since we last had an Editors Picks. It hasn't, though it would be true if we were in a Sinead O'Connor song. See what we have been up to in the last week below, no doubt activities such as eating dinner in a fancy restaurant, seeing a doctor - and guess what he told us? Maybe to put our arms round every boy we see whilst bemoaning all the flowers that our mothers planted in the garden. My week has been [...]
