Performer: Riverbend
Type of music: Indie rock
About: Mountain Brook and Vestavia Hills high schools are over-the-mountain rivals, but not with Riverbend. The band features three Spartans: vocalist and guitarist Stanton Langley, bass player Price Pewitt, and guitarist Max Simon; and Rebel drummer Sims Ruffino. Ruffino’s grandfather, Tony Ruffino, was a legendary Birmingham concert promoter.
Last year, the group cut its first EP, “Colors,” and this year recorded “Bitter Words.” The group promises a live show “full of mile-wide riffs and impassioned choruses.” The foursome traveled to Haiti this month to teach music to an orphanage.
