Riverside was formed in 2001 by Mariusz Duda, Piotr Grudziński, Piotr Kozieradzki, and Jacek Melnicki. Having started out as a three piece indie/alternative rock band, they have since developed their craft and experimentation to encompass a variety of styles, and over time have become recognised as one of the leading progressive rock groups of the 2000s. The band has released seven studio albums, five of which were released in the UK. Their breakthrough album came in 2009 with their critically acclaimed album 'Anno Domini High Definition'. Later albums such as 'Shrine Of New Generation Slaves' and 'Love, Fear and The Time Machine' have gone on to create a critically acclaimed body of work. Touring has taken the band around the world with acclaimed shows across Europe, North America and Asia, making them one of few prog rock acts to tour widely.
