Saltriver is a new and exciting alternative rock band from Bulgaria. Diversity is the key word to describe the unique music style and sound of the band. Saltriver was formed in the autumn of 2005 by; Ivan Gatev – vocals ,Peter Iliev – guitar , Emerih Ambil – guitar ,Smilen Slavshtenski – bass and “Mozi” on drums. The band recorded four songs in the spring of 2006: “9” ,”Bitter half of me” ,“Nightman” ,”Hey” (those two entered the Pulserated.com playlist and “Nightman stayed in the top 40 chart for eight months reaching number 2).Shortly after that “Mozi” left the band. That led to missing some good opportunities and slowing down some recording sessions. Saltriver found a replacement drummer for the “Tangra Mega Live” festival and that was their only show in the summer of 2006. But the band found the perfect drummer in the face of Teodor Obretenov – “Tosho”. He joined the band in the autumn of 2006 and his debut gig with Saltriver was their first birthday show in a Sofia club. With their new drummer Saltriver recorded three songs in the end of 2006: “Wicked Mind”, “Why” and a new version of “9”. Things started to look up for Saltriver but they still needed the heavy airplay in the local radios necessary for a young band to make it. That came with recording the “Mr. Scarecrow” EP (Mr. Scarecrow, Meaningless ,Time’s Square). Actually it’s Saltriver’s live performances that generated fans interest at the beginning. Right now Saltriver are promoting their first video for the song "Meaningless" and their self-release album "Tombstone without a name" which features all the songs that they have recorded plus two new ones - "What I need" and "Tombstone without a name". The band is playing more live shows than ever and in the end of march they will finish recording three new songs two of which are already well known to their fans - "Next bus to heaven" and "Smith".
