So... How Do You Tour With A Babby? 👶 🔥

We’ve probably been asked one question more than anything else over the last few months…

 “Now you’ve got Bobby, are you still touring? And does he come with you?”

 The answer is… yes and yes!

 With Bobby coming up to six months old, we thought we’d give you a little update on how life with a tour baby is actually going.

 We’ll be completely honest everything is so much harder! There’s a LOT more planning involved, and we’re still taking far too much stuff everywhere we go (we’re working on that… ), but so far, it’s actually working really well.

 Bobby comes away with us for all of the tour dates. Luckily, on this run we’ve played most of the venues before, so we already know which green rooms are suitable for him. At venues where they aren’t, or somewhere we haven’t been before and aren’t quite sure what to expect, he stays back at our accommodation.

 Our tour manager Matt’s wife comes away with us to look after Bobby while we’re on stage. We’ve known her for years, he absolutely adores her, and it means that most days he can be with us right up until we go on stage and we know he’s with someone we completely trust.

This whole tour has really been us dipping our toe into the water and figuring out what touring as a family actually looks like. It’s one of the reasons we decided to do roughly one week on, one week off giving Bobby a chance to be back home in between, and giving all three of us time to adjust to this completely new way of doing things.

 For years, when it was literally just the two of us travelling around and doing everything ourselves, we genuinely wondered whether having a family would ever work alongside the life we’d chosen.

 So we feel incredibly lucky that we’re now at a point where we have such a brilliant team of good people around us who genuinely care about WRM and about our little family too.

 And Bobby seems to be taking tour life completely in his stride. He loves everyone… particularly Uncle Foxy!

 Most importantly, we’re absolutely loving this tour. The shows have been incredible, and seeing so many of you coming out to support us while we navigate this new chapter has meant more than you probably realise.

 So yes we’re still touring. There’s just three of us now.

Much Love

P.S. Huddersfield, see you all tonight

Rhythm Rust & Static Is Out Now 🔥

Today’s the day… Rhythm Rust & Static is officially out now and available to stream everywhere.

If you’ve already pre-ordered a copy, it should be landing on your doorstep very soon (if it hasn’t already!).

We can’t wait for you to hear it.

Much Love 
Grace & Aaron x 

Only 3 days to go…

In just 3 days, Rhythm Rust & Static will finally be released.

As we’re getting closer to release day, we’re feeling incredibly grateful for the support you’ve already shown this album. All three of the limited edition vinyl variants have sold out, and even the remaining vinyl stock is starting to get low.

It’s hard to believe this is our fifth studio album. Every record we’ve made has captured a different moment in our journey, and we’re really proud of this one. We can’t wait for you to hear it.

If you’d like to help us have the strongest release week possible, digital downloads make a huge difference. Thanks to your support we’ve already had two UK Top 10 albums, and we’d love to give Rhythm Rust & Static the best chance we can.

We’d also like to say a huge thank you to everyone in the Rivers Meeting Place Facebook group. The excitement and support you’ve shown over the last few months has been amazing, and it means more to us than you know.

We’re nearly there... 3 days to go.

Much Love 
Grace & Aaron x 

Only 14 days to go…

OUT IN 14 DAYS
19 JUNE 2026
⚡️⚡️⚡️

First of all, thank you.

The last email we sent wasn’t the one we wanted to send. Having to announce the delay to Rhythm Rust & Static was frustrating for us, but your understanding, patience and support meant the world.

Now the great news?

All the vinyl has now arrived!!!

After months of writing, recording, planning, designing, proofing, approving, waiting and wondering… the records are finally here and we’re now deep into checking, signing and preparing everything ready for release day on 19th June.

One of the recent reviews described us as having a “fiercely guarded independence” and that phrase really stuck with us.

Because when you’re an independent band, there isn’t a big record company handling everything behind the scenes.

We don’t just write the songs and turn up for the photos.

And right now we’re opening boxes and checking the finished vinyl ourselves to make sure everything is exactly as it should be before it reaches your hands.

Of course, we don’t do it alone.

We have an incredible team, that we've built, around us.

And the reason we’re able to make albums this way is because of you...

Because you crowdfund them.

Because you buy the records.

Because you come to the shows.

Because you believe in what we’re doing.

That support gives us the freedom to make the music we want to make, without anyone watering it down or telling us what it should sound like.

And judging by the reviews coming in, that freedom has made its way onto this record...

Classic Rock Magazine said:

“An unfiltered quality… undiluted by a bunch of A&R men trying to water it down.”

Blues In Britain called it:

“A collection that will delight their fans and solidify their reputation as a band that wears its heart on its sleeve.”

Music News gave the album 5/5 Stars, describing it as:

“Ragged and glorious. Absolutely essential.”

A Quick Update On The Limited Editions

The response has been incredible!

✅ Cassettes — Sold Out
✅ Limited Vinyl Variant #1 — Sold Out
✅ Limited Vinyl Variant #2 — Sold Out
✅ CDZines — Sold Out
⚠️ Road Warrior Vinyl — Almost Gone

We only made a very small number of Road Warrior copies and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

If you’ve been thinking about grabbing one, now is the time.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

Every album we’ve made has been built together with you, and Rhythm Rust & Static is no different.

We genuinely can’t wait for you to hear it.

Only 14 days to go.

Much Love

New video today⚡️+ an important album update

Today we’ve released the official music video for our brand new song Caught In The Middle ️⚡

It’s another track from Rhythm Rust & Static, and we’re really excited for you to finally hear and see this one properly.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

We also wanted to give you an update on the album release.

As most of you know, Rhythm Rust & Static was originally due for release on 29th May. Unfortunately though, we’ve had ongoing delays with the vinyl manufacturing and the records simply haven’t arrived with us when they were supposed to.

We did everything we could to make this happen on time, including building extra time into the schedule where possible, but unfortunately this part has ended up out of our hands.

Because of that, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to move the album release date to 19th June.

We know this is disappointing, especially for those of you who supported the crowdfunding campaign and have already been incredibly patient waiting for your orders, and we’re genuinely so sorry for the extra delay.

Being independent means we handle all of this ourselves, and it’s really important to us that when your order arrives, everything is exactly as it should be. We never want to rush something out just for the sake of hitting a date.

Thank you so much for sticking with us!

If you’ve got any questions at all about your order, feel free to drop us an email at shop@whenriversmeet.co.uk

And in the meantime, we really hope you enjoy the new Caught In The Middle video

Much Love

Only 100 of these exist ⚡

We’ve done something we’ve never done before…

Our very first When Rivers Meet cassette.
️️️
Only 100 copies have been made.

There’s something about holding music in your hands like this.
Raw, physical… a little bit nostalgic. We weren’t even sure whether to do it. But now they’re here… we’re so glad we did.

If you want one, don’t hang about, we genuinely don’t expect these to last long.

Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Thanks for being part of everything we do.

Much Love 
Grace & Aaron x 

We didn't expect this...

It’s one month tomorrow until Rhythm Rust & Static is out… and honestly, we’re a bit blown away.

Both of the limited vinyl editions have already sold out. We genuinely didn’t expect them to go this quickly... especially with over a month still to go.

It’s clear we underestimated just how many of you wanted this one on vinyl 🤩

Because of that, the ‘Nocturnal’ vinyl is now running low…

If you’ve been thinking about grabbing a copy, now’s the moment.

Just a quick one…

Our latest single The Script has been nominated for Tracks of the Week by Classic Rock Magazine ⚡️

If you haven’t heard it yet, you can watch the music video here.
And if you’ve been enjoying it, we’d massively appreciate your vote.

Thank you for everything you’ve done to get us to this point.

Much Love 
Grace & Aaron x 

It’s here… ‘The Script’

We’re really excited to finally share this with you…

Our brand new single The Script is out now... taken from our upcoming album Rhythm Rust & Static, out 29th May.
⚡️⚡️⚡️
This song’s about pushing back against that feeling that everything’s already decided for you… and choosing your own way forward instead.

We’d love you to give it a listen and let us know what you think.

A lot of you have already been picking up the Limited Edition Vinyl... and High Voltage edition has now completely sold out.

🔥🔥🔥

There are now just 39 copies left of the Midnight Oil Limited Edition vinyl for Rhythm Rust & Static.
Once they’re gone, this variant won’t be pressed again. 

If you fancy something a bit special, now’s the time to grab one before they disappear.

Much Love

⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️

Thanks as always for being part of this with us.

See you out there soon.

You’re going to want to hear this… ⚡️

We’re really excited to announce that Greene will be joining us as special guest on the Rhythm Rust & Static Tour 2026 ⚡️

Greene is the musical project of Joe Anderton. After spending years playing in Connor Selby’s band and writing with artists like The Cinelli Brothers, he’s now fully stepped into his own world with this project.

His sound leans into pop melodies, but there’s something deeper running through it… introspective, sometimes whimsical, and really honest. 
⚡️⚡️⚡️
His debut EP The Content Creator came out in 2024, followed by Now I’ve Got You Listening — a more vulnerable, stripped-back release. There’s also a raw edge in tracks like Three Finger Carrie, where you can hear those garage rock influences creeping in.

And live… that’s where it really lands. It’s personal, it’s authentic, and there’s a warmth to it that we know you’re going to connect with.

If you want to check him out before the shows:

As for us…
We’re just starting to find our feet with our little boy Bobby born on the 12th March, and settling into this new chapter at home… but we’re already so excited to get back out on the road with our tour baby in tow.

This tour is going to be a big one. We’re heading out as a three-piece, bringing Rhythm Rust & Static to the stage exactly how it was recorded, raw, stripped back, and loud where it needs to be. We’ll be playing the new album in full, along with some of the songs that got us here.

If you’re thinking of coming, don’t leave it too long 👇

The first single from our new album lands Friday!

This Friday we’re releasing the first single from our new album Rhythm Rust & Static. The song is called The Tide Is Turning.
This one comes from those nights out on the road when everything feels a little rough around the edges. The windows are rattling from the amps, the venue is packed and noisy, there’s the smell of beer in the air and the floors are sticky beneath your feet.
️️️It captures that moment just before stepping on stage when the anticipation starts to build and you can feel the energy of the room coming alive. Underneath it all there’s a feeling that this is exactly where you’re meant to be. It’s a feeling we both crave.

Recently we were walking past a venue and could hear a band soundchecking inside. It wasn’t our show, but the moment we heard the band through the walls we both felt that same rush of excitement and anticipation you get just before a gig.
That moment is exactly what this song is about.
The Tide Is Turning will be released at 10am GMT on Friday across all streaming platforms, and the music video will go live at the same time. We can’t wait for you to hear and see it.

🔥🔥🔥
This single is the first glimpse into the world of our upcoming album Rhythm Rust & Static, which arrives on the 29th May.
If you’d like to pre-order the album, there are only a small handful of the High Voltage limited vinyl still available.

Pre-order the album here ⬇

Much Love

P.S. We’ve also just released a couple of live videos today if you fancy watching something while we count down to Friday.
