We did it again, yes again. It's 3 from 3. The industry voters at OVERPLAY once again voted a RIVERSTATE song in the top 3 for thier International Unsigned song competition. That 3 tracks and 3 top 3's. We must be doing something right.
They said This is a spiky shuffle that somehow mixes Linkin Park moodiness with edgy Police-style flair. The melody slowly blossoms, chests swell with emotion and everybody feels a bit sad, but rather stylish at the same time.
New track "Doubter" voted top 3 song in International Unsigned song competition. Thanks to all of you who voted. We did it again. That's 2 top 3 spots from the industry and the public.
Here's the link
" Wobbly keyboards and interestingly introspective vocals help to show off a strong melody on this sophisticated mixture of 10CC and Supertramp, which, unlike anything by The Feeling, understands that cheese isn’t always a mandatory ingredient.
Below is a bit of history and a list of nice things people have said about us.
And they right. We are feekin good. Come to a live show and see for yourself.

OVERPLAY International Unsigned Song Compeition on FALL
"The understated passion of the vocal gently massages your ear holes as the stripped-back guitars, organ and drums gradually layer-up the sonic duvet. It’s got the honest delivery and pared-down production to make it the kind of pure, soulful number Richard Ashcroft would eat his aviators for."
RIVERSTATE are three brothers Tom (lead vocals, guitar), Jim (bass, vocals) and Ed Tyler(lead guitar), in addition to Oli Gardner (keyboards, vocals) and Andrew Bouincontro (drums). The Tyler brothers and Oli are all from the midlands, but now live in London.
Our debut EP "FALL". is on iTunes.

RIVERSTATE now voted Artist of the Month at Karmadownload
Already artist of the week winners, we've now decided to upgrade them
to artist of the month winners. And, the reason lies in their effortless
ability to write some of the most beautiful rock songs around.
Shimmering guitars and soaring vocals combine to make an extremely
powerful rock offering, and it's with no hesitation on our part that we
think they are the band of the month." Karmadownload Unsigned

RIVERSTATE VOTED ARTIST OF THE WEEK AT KARMADOWNLOAD.COM
"Riverstate deliver an epic torchsong for all you Miss Lonelyhearts out there. A strong vocal delivery and some delicate guitar work make FALL a killer indie rock anthem. However, they can also write the big rock tunes as well, and Say Something shows a deft ability to write a stadium sized tune. Big sounds, big band, we're expecting even bigger things from them."
