River City Extension was an American indie rock band based in Toms River, New Jersey. The band released their debut EP, Nautical Sabbatical in 2009. Following the release of a full-length album, The Unmistakable Man in 2010, the band was picked up by New Jersey independent record label XOXO Records. On September, 8, 2015, the band announced via social media that they would be parting ways.

In 2007, prior to the formation of River City Extension, Joe Michelini had already established a local reputation as a solo act when he decided to assemble a small acoustic combo. It soon expanded to its current eight-member lineup.

The Unmistakable Man earned the band positive reviews from Paste magazine and NPR.

In 2011, the band toured heavily in support of The Unmistakable Man, becoming the first artist ever to perform at both the Newport Folk Festival and the Warped Tour. They additionally performed at the Bonnaroo Music Festival, Austin City Limits, B.O.M.B. Fest, South by Southwest, and The Bamboozle. They also toured in support of Brand New, The Get Up Kids, Steel Train, Max Bemis (of Say Anything), Kevin Devine, Alkaline Trio, The Apache Relay and The Avett Brothers. In conjunction with their tour supporting Kevin Devine, the band and Devine released a collaborative split 7" vinyl EP, including two new River City Extension songs, "Ballad of Oregon" and "Point of Surrender".
