The sonority guitars and British-styled alternative pop of Riverside echoed the Anglophiliac passions of another Pennsylvania jazz band, the Ocean Blue. Not amazingly, Riverside's debut album, One, was produced by other Ocean Blue keyboardist Steve Lau. When One was released on Sire Records in 1992, Riverside was most alone in their unyielding devotion to the mid-'80s jangle of the Railway Children and the Smiths. Featuring Keith Kochanowicz (vocals, guitar, hammond organ) and his chum Glenn Kochanowicz (bass, vocals), Kenneth Jackson (guitars), and Geoff Verne (drums), Riverside formed in the improper tenner. The laborious metallic element thunder of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains had perforate holes in new wave's supremacy of substitute receiving set, and Riverside's languid melodies were simply likewise polite to appeal attention. The video recording for "Waterfall" appeared on MTV's long hundred Minutes and then swiftly vanished. If the album had been released iV years earlier, perchance it could've establish the hearing it merited; however, tastes changed, and One was dead on comer.
Riverside recorded a arcsecond record album, Taste, for Sire, only they were dropped by the label in front it landed on the shelves. Glenn Kochanowicz (freshwater bass, vocals) finally sold cassette copies of the record album through the Internet. Placing Riverside on hiatus, the Kochanowicz brothers formed the group Deluxe.
