The Rions – the Eora/Sydney indie-rock outfit of Noah Blockley, Harley Wilson, Asher McLean & Tom Partington – today share their highly awaited debut album, Everything Every Single Day, out now via Community Music. With the album comes a new music video for focus single ‘Scumbag’, directed by Nathan Rathsam (dust, Egoism, GAZAL). LISTEN HERE + WATCH ‘SCUMBAG’ HERE.

Recorded over the course of a year with ARIA Award-winning producer Chris Collins (Ruby Fields, Pacific Avenue, Matt Corby), Everything Every Single Day showcases a pensive, contemplative and emotionally-driven collection of pristine pop-rock. Drawing from influences including Sam Fender, The Japanese House, and the omnipresent Beatles, the album marks a major progression in The Rions’ sound, all while maintaining the charm and candour they’ve carried thus far.

“Making an album always seemed like the impossible dream as kids,” the band shares. “We didn’t know if we’d get to play shows or make a name for ourselves. We didn’t even know if we would write music that was any good. Still, having an album always went hand-in-hand with being a musician for us. This album is the most open wound we’ve allowed the world to see thus far. It’s all our triumphs, our regrets, our shortcomings, our philosophies, our hopes, and our dreams on a 13-track silver platter.”

Everything Every Single Day features the stirring, piano-driven singles ‘Tonight’s Entertainment‘ and ‘Maybe I’m Just a Freak‘, the electronically-tinged indie angst of ‘Shut You Out‘, as well as latest album single, ‘Cry‘, a track awash with lush acoustic guitars and biting lyricism decrying the rise of toxic masculinity. ‘Scumbag’, today’s driving, rocking focus single, is the oldest song on the album, fuelled by heightened emotion and tempered by stark self-awareness. Written about a relationship that sparked significant creative inspiration behind the album, guitarist Harley Wilson shares, “Scumbag is a pre-emptive plea for patience. I felt pretty quickly that I knew where the connection I had with this person was going, but at the same time I knew I wasn’t ready. It was the kind of ‘You can’t have your cake and eat it too’ situation, only I still tried to, hence being a scumbag.”

Their authenticity permeates throughout all 13 tracks, from ‘Maybe It’s Everything’ written in a state of complete and utter infatuation, ‘Welcome to the Conversation’ narrating a harsh fallout between father and son, and breaking down emotional walls on ‘Wear Me Thin’. With each song unveiling another layer of their story, the band are most excited for people to hear the cinematic album closer, ‘Adelaide’. “That song is the sound of the band completely unchained,” says vocalist Noah Blockley. “We didn’t worry about being a guitar band, or a rock band, or anything like that. We just thought about writing a cool song. The day we recorded it was one of the most exciting days we’ve ever had as a band – it was all ‘let’s try this’ and ‘let’s try that’, rather than ‘we can’t do this’ and ‘we can’t do that’.”

There’s been something special about The Rions from the jump. Forming as pre-teens in high school, The Rions have swiftly catapulted to national recognition, winning triple j’s Unearthed High initiative in 2021, and turning heads with now ARIA Gold Certified singles ‘Night Light’ and ‘Scary Movies’. Going on to release two EPs – Minivan in 2023, and the #4 ARIA Australian Album charting Happiness In A Place It Shouldn’t Be in 2024 – The Rions currently boast over 60 million streams across their catalogue, have entirely sold out national tours, and played sold-out shows at iconic venues across London, Manchester and Leeds on their UK/EU debut. Emerging as one of the country’s most prolific live acts, 2024 saw the band sell over 20,000 headline tickets in that year alone.

Bringing the momentum into 2025, the band’s Everything Every Single Day national theatre tour, presented by triple j, marks their biggest headline shows to date. Kicking off in Meanjin / Brisbane tonight, they’ll bring the new album to stages across Eora / Sydney, Naarm / Melbourne (sold-out), nipaluna / Hobart, and Tarndanya / Adelaide throughout October. Their album victory lap will continue with a headline tour across the UK and Europe this November, before capping off the year back home at Changing Tides and Spilt Milk festivals.
