When Rivers Meet have premiered the music video for their incredible blues rock anthem ‘Testify’ exclusively on Planet Rock.

The first single to be lifted from When Rivers Meet’s second studio album ‘Saving Grace’, which lands on Friday 19th November, ‘Testify’ was added to the Planet Rock playlist this week.

When Rivers Meet – duo Grace and Aaron Bond – said of the track: “‘Testify’ is a real anthem, or as we call it ‘banger’, with killer vocals.

“‘Testify’ is just purely and simply British Rock and Blues played through vintage Vox valves. It stamps all over you and then imprints itself upon you to the very core of your soul! Playing violin to this amount of intensity is seriously fun.

“We love to rock out and this is the perfect song to do it to. Testify!”

Available to watch on Planet Rock first, the ‘Testify’ video was directed by Terry Crouch at One Big Idea and it sees Grace and Aaron belt out the track with great aplomb.

‘Saving Grace’ is the follow-up to Grace and Aaron Bond’s critically lauded debut album ‘We Fly Free’ which came out in November 2020.

Grace says of ‘Saving Grace’: “We were very conscious that our debut album We Fly Free was a step up in production from our two EP releases previously The Uprising EP and Innocence of Youth.

“We also wanted to keep a live, authentic vibe to the new album to retain the energetic feel in the music.”

Aaron adds: “We wanted the album to have more of an upbeat rock feel. We knew exactly what we wanted before we set off to record Saving Grace. We set our expectations high. We’re so pleased with the result and just hope everyone else loves it as much as we do!”
