The Bitter Springs is a London-based band known for their unique blend of indie rock and folk music. Formed in the UK, the band consists of Simon Rivers on vocals and guitar, Andrew Deevey on bass, Paul McGrath on drums, Paul Baker on keyboards, Phil Martin on violin, Nick Brown on guitar, and Kim Rivers providing additional vocals.
With their distinctive sound and heartfelt lyrics, The Bitter Springs have captivated audiences around the world. Drawing inspiration from various genres including punk and Americana, their music resonates with listeners who appreciate honest storytelling and melodic compositions.
Often compared to artists such as The Nightingales and Robyn Hitchcock, The Bitter Springs have carved out a niche for themselves in the music industry. Their live performances are energetic and engaging, leaving fans craving more. Whether you're a fan of indie rock or folk music, The Bitter Springs' discography offers something for everyone.

A near-invisible presence on the margins of underground pop, Simon Rivers is well into his fourth decade of making sweet, powerful, crushing records. Weaving the messy threads of suburban life into dense tapestries, he has something of the Go-Betweens' gift for melody, something of Mark E Smith’s ear for language, something of Vic Godard’s common touch, and almost none of the acclaim that should have been his due. Boo hoo. Every Happiness should have been a word-of-mouth sensation when it was released, but one way or another there were no mouths, no words. Every Happiness is as brilliant a "lost classic" as one could hope for. Equal parts storming anthems, introspective wonders and deranged bits of social observation. Released for the first time on vinyl and now expanded to more than 80 minutes, with Under The Rainbow, a track only heard before on an obscure Spanish compilation album, which was built around what Simon describes as a "disused Kitchens Of Distinction backing track".
