The Miserable Rich is a string-led band from Brighton, England, formed in 2007. Their debut album, Twelve Ways to Count (2008), received critical acclaim, including a positive review from the NME and airplay on BBC 6 Music. The band's unique sound, featuring cello and violin as lead instruments, garnered further recognition with their second album, Of Flight & Fury (2010), and third album, Miss You in the Days (2011). They toured extensively across Europe and the United States. In 2014, they released the live album, Live in Frankfurt. After taking a creative break from 2012 to 2018, the ensemble reunited for a benefit concert and subsequently released their fourth studio album, Overcome (2024).
