RIVERA

"The butterfly pinned on Rivera’s debut EP “In The Annex” is fitting. The New Haven four-piece, formerly known as The Day Spring, went through a metamorphosis this summer to become a full-fledged pop rock powerhouse with a new name, a new outlook and sights set for the top."-Chris March-NHregister.com

"RIVERA, “MIRACLES”… The Next Big Thing! Published on October 19, 2010 by GLAM he first track dark and beautiful “you can sleep when your dead you know” put a huge smile on my face to say the least. I listen to ‘MIRACLES’ next, “ When I say I’m done , I’m done”…“I got nothing left to lose, not a secret left to hide, this world gonna end then maybe I’ll change my mind” … The music is equally as powerful, and catchy. I sat in my office in LA and played the track over and over for at least a good hour. I wanted to play it for every one I knew. The rest of the songs are just as visually clear and thoughtfully romantic. Steve is a true poet and visionary. The Band is now called Rivera and they have a new lineup which is able to expresses the feeling we all carry deep within on those lonely rainy days." - Glam

"The band has somehow managed to modernize the sound successfully for today's audience, and one of the big reasons behind that is the voice of the lead singer, Stephen Rivera. His vocals flow easily throughout the entirety of the album, (especially when coupled with a female background vocal) and manage to leave the band hovering on the line of pop-punk without crossing into that territory entirely. Rivera has the kind of voice that strikes the listener as effortless and inspiring all at the same time. "
