THESE WICKED RIVERS NEW ALBUM COMING OCTOBER 2026

The RPM roster bearded blues-rock brothers, These Wicked Rivers, announce their highly anticipated third album and brand new single release!

The third studio album ‘Fire and Folklore’ arrives in October, released via Fat Earth Records, and will feature the single ‘Ain’t No Smoke’ which is available across all streaming platforms NOW!

Fire And Folklore expands beyond These Wicked Rivers’ signature wizard-blues rock sound, pushing into new sonic territory, blending in shades of country and southern spirit while retaining the groove and soul that defines the band. It also sees them lean into their fondness for country and western with a guest vocal spot from local Derbyshire country artist Kezia Gill for the track Sing Another Song.

Who’s excited? We are!
