Interview: The River Jones

Experimental punk four-piece The River Jones have been active in the Christchurch music scene for a few years now. When they first started playing together fresh out of high school, the group's guitarist Hunter Jackson was only 17-years-old and had to stand outside bars during the band's soundchecks for gigs later that evening. Nowadays all the members are of legal drinking age and the band has a whole swag of accomplishments, including releasing a self-titled debut album last year and the recently revealed video for their single 'Steady Vision'. With their place firmly cemented in the local music scene, The River Jones are now set to the next generation of musicians and fans by playing at the opening gig of new all-ages venue Re:VIVE this weekend.
