Rivers & Robots is an English Christian music worship band from Salford, England. Their group formed in 2010, and have since released four independently-made studio albums.

Background

They were formed by Jonathan Ogden, lead vocalist, when he started recording under the name in 2010 in City of Salford, Greater Manchester, North West England.[1] The group members who joined him were guitarist, David Hailes, bassist, Nathan Stirling, and drummer, Kelani Koyejo.[1] Kelani left the group in February 2016 and was replaced by Caleb Choo in September 2017. David also decided to leave the band in August 2017, so the band was searching for a new guitarist for a while. In October 2018 Rivers and Robots announced the joining of Philip Shibata as guitarist.

Music history

The band started musical recording in 2010, with their first album, The Great Light, that was released on 12 August 2011.[2][3] Their subsequent album, Take Everything, was released on 20 July 2012.[4] They released an extended play, Rivers & Robots, in 2013.[5] Their third album, All Things New, was released on 8 July 2014.[6][7][8][9] Their fourth studio album, The Eternal Son, was released on 20 May 2016, by Set Sail Records.[10]
