When the pandemic hit, you could have forgiven Sam Bielanski and Matty Morand for drowning their sorrows in television, as so many of us did.
Before the pandemic, watching copious amounts of TV had been a common pastime for the pair. In the old world, it seemed like we watched a lot of TV, maybe bordering on an unhealthy amount, recalls Morand to Exclaim! We were also both working full-time jobs in addition to practicing, recording and touring with both bands, so TV was our escape. It s hard to want to do anything when you re spread out like that. Adds Bielanski, Before lockdown, I would watch TV every night and try to squeeze as much as I could into my one day off a week.
Stream Philly indie-punks Riverby’s ‘Smart Mouth’ LP & Phoebe Bridgers & Rilo Kiley covers
Sophia Greenberg and Tyler Asay left a Philly open mic night at 4 a.m. and started a band. That nocturnal split decision defines Riverby at its core, a power-pop outfit fueled by teenage optimism and the timeless power of a punchy one-liner. Bassist Doug Keller was scooped up during a smoke break between sets, and Dan Nazario joined soon after on drums. Smart Mouth, the band’s debut album, came together much like their lineup sporadically, then all at once. And like Riverby’s beginnings, Smart Mouth shows confident noise sometimes emerges from the darkest of hours. [Riverby s Bandcamp bio]
