The Southern River Band’s signature blend of blues and rock never disappoints. This Australian four-piece single-handedly drags the genre out of the coffin and squeezes it into a glittering spandex skinny jeans. Hailing from Thornlie (Where? Exactly.), the band spent 2019 on a relentless tour across Australia, bringing their Mega Rock Party to every place with a stage and a PA system.

Since then, they’ve continued to impress with a string of albums, each receiving glowing praise from both fans and critics. And now, this October, the release of their new album Easier Set Than Done is on the horizon.
