“Riverside” was formed almost by accident when two of its members listened to the band “Marillion” on a car stereo back in 2001. The friends both played in heavy metal bands at the time but had a common interest for progressive rock. They decided to get together with another mutual friend, who owned a studio, to start experimenting with progressive rock.
‘Friend or Foe?‘ is Riverside’s new single from their latest album, ID.Identity, the band’s 8th studio album. Riverside’s Mariusz Duda commented:
“One of its strong points is the lyrics which talk about how we’re perceived by others, especially these days, when pretending to be someone you’re not on social media has become the norm. Can we still be ourselves or do we have to keep adapting to the requirements of new algorithms? Perhaps we’ve already lost our identities and we’re only waiting for instructions from a Siri or Alexa?“
