about
The first official recording from 4-piece rock band, Akuso. The River was recorded over 11-12 Nov 2013 at Parlour Studios in Kettering after winning a competition to find the best new UK band.
Produced by Akuso, Russ Russell (The Wildhearts, Jetplane Landing) and Neil Haynes (Immicus, Ten Percenter).
Blacken your eyes and leave no evidence.
Pull down the sheets and cover all that's been before.
What can't be seen won't always hide the pain of all.
The fears, the falls, the breaks, the calls,
The chains you made are failing.
Is this a cry like all the ones before?
Tell me no lies and I shall leave my fears at home.
Did you believe these demons would all fade away?
The fears, the falls, the breaks, the calls,
The chains you made are failing.
I'll meet you down by the river.
Pull back the sheets and clean these broken things.
Quietly hang the shame away it won't be seen.
Let me go drown all evidence, i'll make no sound.
The fears, the falls, the breaks, the calls,
The chains you made are failing.
I'll meet you down by the river.
Would you change this time?
Or just waster your life?
Should I wait your call?
Would you change this time?
I'll meet you down by the river
(wash it all away)
I'll meet you down by the river
(swollen by the rain)
I'll meet you down by the river
(I'll wait your call)
I'll meet you down by the river

If you like fast melodic punk rock that doesn't take itself too seriously, then this is for you! And if you don't like that, well you should check it out anyway, you might surprise yourself! Akuso
This is our drummer, Ed's, side project with him writing all the songs and taking on lead vocal duties. No small feat for a drummer. And it's damn good! (and our bass player Chad was in the band too!) Akuso
Two new songs from the Nashville musician (and drummer in Sad Baxter) reveal a talent for rock hooks and anthemic power pop aesthetics. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 11, 2022
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
