Very little interesting information about The Reivers except the fact that it is an American group formed in 1984 in Austin at the beginning under the name of 'Zeitgeist', a name that they will have to abandon following the complaints of another group already claiming to be the owner of the same name…
Group originally composed of John Croslin, Kim Longacre, Cindy Toth and Garrett Williams and which will remain mainly in the musical history of this end of the 20th century for the big Single "Things don't change" which will be released in 1985 .
For this reason alone, we had to devote this article to them.
To discover or rediscover.

1984...a first title of certain quality and which immediately shows that this small group has everything to do great things. It remains to be seen whether this will be the case or not...
1985...for the moment it's going the way anyway. The fundamentals are trendy as much on the style side as on the sound side. Watch out for overspeed though...
1985...a group that mixes American and English influences in an astonishing way. A feature that pays off in time or not, only time will tell...
1985...which will surely remain as their most accomplished title. The group proves here in a certain way that he has its place in the big leagues !
1987...certainly he will never produce a major hit but what they offer us title after title is far from deserving, that's clear...
1987...the proof with this new title which shows if necessary that this group has a talent more than certain. A certain talent but which unfortunately will not allow them to reach the top of the Charts...
1987...the only weakness of the group is in the fact that he hardly varies in style and sound. Everything is based almost on the same model...
1989... suddenly their immobility at this level necessarily ends up marginalizing them and above all prevents them de facto from reaching the highest steps of the podium. Too bad because there was material to...
1989... after, do they seek success at all costs, only they can answer this question. Perhaps they are already largely satisfied with the level of recognition achieved...
1989...a decade of the 80s which will have seen them hatch and then obtain some nice successes of esteem. Will the next decade be that of the big take-off ? Good question...
1991... it doesn't take the road to it at first sight. The change of decade does not rhyme with a change of sound in any case...
1991...they don't deserve it, far from it, but their immobility doesn't help them, that's clear. We would have liked to see them take a little more risk...
1991... it is clear that the adventure will not last for decades and decades under these conditions. The lack of renewal will inevitably end up pushing them out...
2013...the proof since we will lose sight of them for almost 20 years ! We even thought that the case was definitely closed but they are trying here a come back to say the least improbable and above all particularly risky...
2013...a comeback that won't allow them to get back into the race anyway. We will nevertheless salute in passing their willingness to believe in it again and again...
2013...will this title be the last, only they know the answer. Because with them, at first sight, nothing is ever finished...
