ADDICTED TO YOU
NO.2 IN MIDWEEK ALBUM CHART
BUY HERE / STREAM HERE

May 28th 2025: When Rivers Meet have announced a special live stream taking place on YouTube and Facebook at 8pm BST tonight. It comes in light of their midweek UK Official Albums Chart success with new album Addicted To You currently at No.2 in the charts.

When Rivers Meet could be on course to make music history as the first fully independent band with no label or manager to hit No.1 in the UK Official Albums Chart and they are currently battling Sparks to the top spot.

When Rivers Meet say, “We’re absolutely blown away to be Number 2 in the UK midweek album charts! The support for Addicted To You has been incredible, and we’re so grateful to everyone who’s been part of this journey with us. As a fully independent band, self-released, self-managed, this moment means the world. It’s a huge milestone, and we couldn’t have done it without the amazing people who believe in our music.”

Addicted To You has seen When Rivers Meet newly-expanded to become a six-piece band – both on record and on stage – and tonight’s live stream will be the first time fans will hear songs from the album played in an intimate stripped back duo performance from Grace & Aaron Bond.

PRAISE FOR ADDICTED TO YOU

“Oozing star aura – like The White Stripes reimagined by Tim Burton [and] dancing between fuzzy riffs, psych wiggery and prog harmonies… this album should be another deserved success” – Classic Rock 8/10

“An album of incendiary passion… Addicted To You is very impressive, particularly well-produced and arranged, and their best work yet” – Rock N Reel 4/5

“Just amazing – new sounds and older success blending beautifully… you might get addicted to this” – Powerplay 10/10

“An album of power, beauty and diversity… in a spectacular flood of ambition and music” – Rock N Load 8/10

“Eleven cuts of sonic cull, cinematic swagger, lush harmonies, and authentically raw songwriting, many soldered with a harder edge and experimental yet expansive musical current” – Blues Rock Review 8.5/10

“Stunning… drenched in mood and brimming with atmospheric allure, it crackles with fresh textures and a bold spirit that speaks to the band’s ever-evolving sound… This is blues-rock forged in fire, soaked in soul and unapologetically authentic” – Blues Matters

“Introducing new sounds, textures and bigger production values… what’s special about Addicted To You is how their musical palette has expanded. It’s an album filled with impressive, diverse songs. An album that deserves to open doors to a much wider audience” – Louder Than War

“Addicted To You is nothing short of a triumph—an album that deserves to be heard, felt, and celebrated. It is electrifying, unforgettable, and utterly essential” – Rockposer

“Addicted To You evidences a new sense of purpose… there’s a freshness and dynamism which finds the band’s sights set firmly on the future” – Devolution

“A bold, genre-defying triumph… taking their hard-earned blues-rock blueprint and infusing it with Americana grit, gospel soul and cinematic swagger” – Jace Media
