Riverside Music TV is a fresh music television channel dedicated to showcasing artists both emerging and at the top of their game. Their projects have been marked with fantastic performances, interviews and behind-the-scenes content, with subscriber access to gig tickets, merchandise and prizes helping to cement community. RMTV is a subsidiary of Riverside Studios, which operates from Glasgow, and gives their work cutting-edge production facilities to use.
Fatherson is the latest band to be highlighted by RMTV. Debuting in 2014, the Kilmarnock three-piece has unveiled four studio albums and seen radio and chart success with each new release. They’ve performed across the UK, peaking at a support slot for Lewis Capaldi.
The third of Fatherson’s video features on RMTV is now live, the band performing the mystical ‘Piece Of Mind’ after ‘Making Waves’ and ‘Crying Wolf’ first showed their talents. The tracks’ arrangement lends itself well to the live setup, allowing for heavy riff-driven instrumental sections to combat soft, vulnerable vocals where layers of brass and synths glitter from the backing track.
The camera work captures the energy of the room, the blue lights and twinkling backdrops bringing the raw aspect of a local gig to an incredibly polished production. This balance between post-production polish and getting the essence spot on in the moment has made RMTV’s work with Fatherson some of their most exciting to date and is no doubt a sign of more phenomenal moments to come.
Ross, Fatherson’s frontman, alongside Marc on bass and Greg on drums, adds, “We’re the best version that this band has ever been…and in six months we’ll be a better version of that.”
