The Riverines

For us, music has always been more than just sound—it’s been our bond, our outlet, and our way of making sense of the world. We’ve played music together since we were kids, written songs through heartbreak and struggles, and chased this dream across multiple bands and projects. Now, after more than a decade of writing together, we’re finally releasing our own music.

Start 'em Young

This EP is a raw, honest reflection of the hard knocks we all face as we grow up—rejection, longing, addiction, regret, and self-discovery. The title Start 'em Young is a reminder that life isn’t just the illusions of youth—it’s filled with heartbreak, difficult relationships, and confronting the shadows within ourselves. These songs tell the stories of those moments, and we hope they resonate with you.

Musically, Start 'em Young flirts with the edges of alternative rock, rock, and indie, pushing the boundaries of what fits within those genres. Our sound has been compared to Kings of Leon, The Killers, and Queens of the Stone Age, but we’re carving our own lane—one built on authenticity, energy, and a deep connection to the emotions that shape us.

The music is recorded—the vision is alive. But to bring Start 'em Young to life the way it deserves, we need your help. These funds will allow us to:

Professionally mix and master the EP so it sounds as powerful as it should.

Re-record a few tracks to make sure they meet our standards.

If we raise enough, fund a music video to visually bring one of our singles to life.

We’ve poured everything into this. We’ve spent years playing in projects led by others, investing time in music that never saw the light of day. Now, for the first time, we’re in a place to fully focus on making our music—music that we believe in.

If you believe in authentic alternative rock—music that isn’t manufactured for trends or followers—we invite you to be a part of this. Your support isn’t just about funding an EP; it’s about helping us complete something that’s been 10 years in the making. It’s about giving a voice to emotions and experiences we all share.

Thank you for believing in us. Let’s bring Start 'em Young to life together.
