The Southern River Band Release Riffed-Out Single ‘Watch Yourself (You’re Gonna Hurt Somebody)
2021 W.A.M. Rock Band of the Year awarded The Southern River Band are back with new single Watch Yourself (You’re Going to Hurt Somebody). Built from a core of a strutting guitar riff, the complementing driving drums and melodic top notes oozes the famed swagger of the West Coast band.
The addictive mixture of classic Aussie banter with face-melting guitar solos and a powerful stage presence has led The Southern River Band to build an irrefutable reputation for delivering one of the best live acts around. Their guitar fuelled madness and howling rock ‘n’ roll is a musical melting pot of influences that spans Queen, AC/DC, Skyhooks, Bad//Dreems and DZ Deathrays.
Watch Yourself (You’re Gonna Hurt Somebody) is strutting Aussie Rock ’n’ Roll at its best, that cruises with confidence. Steadfast, the song plays with dynamics, pulling and squeezing like the changing of sand dunes over the course of a summer. It’s a swampy chug that is equally, and easily, able to be a belter of a singalong.
“We really wanted to write a hip shaking sing along here,In the age of self, self, self, this song is a bit of a warning in a sense, you know, that if ya just do whatever you want all the time without thinking about how that affects other people, inevitably you’re gonna hurt someone. Juxtapose that with a good time rock ‘n’ roll boogie and a big old chorus and voila!” Cal Kramer, The Southern River Band
Nothing is able to slow The Southern River Band from their love for live shows. Accompanying this release is an 8-stop national tour kicking off Friday November 11th. They will be bringing their famed stage presence to a number of venues including the Punk Rock Riot Festival in Adelaide.
“Can’t wait to get back out on the road and see everyone again, if The Darkness tour is anything to go by, it’s gonna be a REAL good time! The energy our fans bring is second to none, and we’re gonna give it right back to ya!” Cal Kramer, The Southern River Band
