Justin Hawkins of The Darkness said it best, “This is a proper f*cking rock band.”, and who are we to disagree?
Following the release of killer singles Vice City III, Chasin’ After Love & Stan Qualen (its video featured on the Justin Hawkins Rides Again podcast and is currently sitting at over 940k views on YouTube), the mighty Southern River Band today release their new album D.I.Y through Cooking Vinyl Australia, featuring new single Cigarettes (Ain’t helping me none).
The Everblack Podcast spoke to Cal Kramer from The Southern River Band about their new album ‘D.I.Y’, upcoming Australian tour, going viral thanks to their mate Justin Hawkins from The Darkness and the meaning behind the title ‘Stan Qualen’.

As well as the album being available on all streaming platforms, fans can pick up a physical copy on CD, or limited edition GOLD or WHITE vinyl HERE.
On the live front, The Southern River Band are no doubt one of the hardest, rockin’ outfits in Australia, having sold out seven national tours, and sharing stages with the likes of The Darkness, Eagles of Death Metal, Cold Chisel, Jebediah, Wolfmother, Grinspoon, Amyl and the Sniffers and more…
The four-piece outfit’s hard work is also proving to pay off overseas, after recently killing it on their 23-date UK/European tour, playing to full houses, thousands of festival-goers, and even performing in a Castle supporting The Darkness.
Match-fit and ready to tear up stages across Australia in support of the new album, The Southern River Band are ready to do it all again. These shows are not to be missed.
