Fresh from igniting mainstages at Europe’s biggest festivals, WA’s rip-roaring rock’n’rollers the Southern River Band announce their new album, Easier Said Than Done, out October 17 via Civilians. To celebrate, the band will play a string of record release shows around the country.
Along with the news comes the band’s new single No Such Time. Penned by their mate Bernard Fanning (Powderfinger) – one of the country’s most revered songwriters who recently had the biggest number of entries in the Hottest 100 of Australian Songs – No Such Time is full of groove and swagger, complete with a hearty belt-along chorus that won’t be pried from out of your head. Not a bad score from a bloke who casually slipped into the band’s DMs to tell them he loved what they were doing.
“It’s not every day you get a message from Bernard Fanning saying ‘G’day boys, got a song for ya’, but we were lucky enough to have that day. We SRB’d it good and proper and we’re absolutely stoked with how it’s turned out (so is he, thank f**k!) and hope you dig it as much as we do!” Says vocalist-guitarist Cal Kramer.
