The Southern River Band release high-octane rock ’n’ roll single ‘Modern Romance’.
The Perth-based 5 piece, The Southern River Band holds an iconic status with their guitar fuelled madness and howling rock ‘n’ roll that has seen them build an irrefutable reputation for delivering one of the best live acts around.
Their latest release ‘Modern Romance’ is a culmination of everything that makes The Southern River Band great. It’s gritty, steadfast, and filled with palpable power that sees a face-melting guitar solo that feels equally at home on both a national festival stage or your local bar. Since the first iteration of the band in 2015, they have carved out a devout following in that time who seek the unparalleled level of energy that takes over whatever stage they occupy.
Siobhan Cotchin flourishes with coming-of-age single ‘Growing Pains’
“Growing up is a scam, I wish I knew before I signed up” sings Siobhan Cotchin in ‘Growing Pains’. Marking an emotional maturation, it is paired with the relatability & candidness that assisted her in building a passionate following across the country. ‘Growing Pains’ is an “ode to anxiety”, helping audiences find solace in the uncertainty of the future, even when irresolute of who they truly are. A 2021 spent inside, unable to leave Western Australia has left Cotchin questioning the purpose of time passing, unable to find fulfillment in even the briefest social encounters.
