WA’s finest The Southern River Band continue to tease the release of their upcoming second album Rumour and Innuendo with the brand new single “Second Best” out now!
Showing their melodic side, “Second Best” is a hooky slice of 70’s FM rock with tight-ass harmonies and of course the band’s patented tasty guitar work courtesy of lead vocalist, guitar slinger and in-house stand-up Cal Kramer. The song’s video, directed by Steve Browne and shot by Drew Kendell, features an amazing retro themed wrestling drama where try as he might, our hero Cal does indeed only manage to come off second best.
As renowned Melbourne rock ‘n’ roll man about town and Cherry Rock impresario James Young attests, “Second Best has soul, swagger and power-pop sensibilities. Don’t let anyone say that The Southern River Band sound like The Darkness or Lynyrd Skynyrd. They don’t.”
With a video for “Second Best” due on release, more new music on the way and some big news to come SRB are stepping it up in 2019 and ready to take on the world.
Young concludes, “When I think of Southern River Band I think of Countdown on the ABC in the 70s. Colour, movement, magic and a guaranteed global smash hit.”
