LA River Bend, Run These Hills Review

California’s indie Americana folk band LA River Bend is a quartet that is building their reputation on poetic lyrics, catchy melodies, intricate guitar parts and creative vocal harmonies all dispersed through strong songwriting skills. The four-piece band is made up of: Nate Weiner (vocals, guitar), Emily Elkin (cello, vocals), Branden Stroup (bass, vocals, guitar) and Jacob Seldes (drums). LA River Bend has released a five track EP called, Run These Hills. Bringing infectious melodies with a strong front and backing vocals package, that offers hip playing and feels, the group demonstrates their melodious talents copiously. Run These Hills was entirely self-recorded by Stroup and mastered by Grammy award-winning Eric Boulanger (Eric Clapton, Iggy Pop, Green Day). That’s the short of it!
