WA’s high-voltage rock’n’roll exports The Southern River Band have dropped their latest balls to the wall single “Don’t Take It To Heart”.
“Metaphorically speaking, Don’t Take It To Heart is sticking your finger in an electrical socket, knowing full well you’re gonna get shocked, getting shocked, going ‘why did that happen?!’ – and then doing it again,” explains frontman Cal Kramer. “It’s the new single off our new record that we’ve just finished doing with mega legend and all-round top bloke Nick DiDia (Google him) over in Byron. And if you like it, well, heck – you might like the other songs too.”
The new track follows on from ‘F**k You, Pay Me’ – the catchy AF payday anthem we never knew we needed. Part Thin Lizzy bravado, part Aussie pub rock punch-on, “Don’t Take It To Heart” is another riff-loaded jolt of momentum on SRB’s unstoppable run.
Since blowing up on Justin Hawkins Rides Again, the Southern River Band have gone global – landing a #6 ARIA album with 2024’s D.I.Y., selling out shows across Europe, and delivering jaw-dropping sets at The Great Escape, Sweden Rock, Rock Werchter, Down The Rabbit Hole, and more.
Right now, they’re in the thick of their second European lap, including Download UK, Hellfest, Copenhell, Resurrection Fest and Rock for People. Plus, they’ve just been announced on the BIGSOUND 2025 line-up in September.
New single out now. Album incoming. Stay tuned.
