The Lost Rivers

Just saying that the Lost Rivers are deafeningly loud does not do justice to the complexity of this band. You could categorise their sound as any number of different music genres such as Shoegaze, Psychedelic, Noise Rock, Noise Pop or even Experimental.

Of course, there is no guarantee that the Lost Rivers will be able to help every single person reach this mental and physical state. But one thing is for sure: the band, their songs and their shows are an outstanding experience.
