Dry The River

Dry the River were an English alternative rock band, formed in East London in 2009. The four band members were Peter Liddle, Scott Miller, Matt Taylor, and Jon Warren, who met each other while performing in different bands. They split up in November 2015 when band members decided to pursue alternate careers.

As for the name of the band, during an interview the lead singer, Peter Liddle, explained:

It kind of just came to us. We were kicking a lot of stuff around, a bunch of names around. It’s a Midwestern kind of a phrase: “drying the river,” like going out drinking heavily. That was kind of part of it.
