The Southern River Band are an Australian rock band from Perth, Western Australia, known for their high-energy, riff-heavy take on classic pub rock. Formed in 2013 in the suburb of Thornlie, the band has built a strong reputation as one of Australia’s most electrifying live acts, driven by swaggering vocals, guitar solos, and a raw, no-frills rock’n’roll attitude. Fronted by Cal Kramer, alongside members Dan Carroll, Tyler Michie, and Pat Smith, The Southern River Band channel the spirit of classic Australian and ‘70s rock, blending influences from bands like AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, and The Angels with a modern edge. Their discography includes releases such as *Rumour & Innuendo* (2019), *D.I.Y.* (2024), and *Easier Said Than Done* (2025), the latter marking a major breakthrough by reaching the ARIA Top 20. Known for their cheeky lyrics, bluesy grooves, and explosive stage presence, the band has toured extensively across Australia and internationally, earning a loyal following and recognition as a leading force in the modern Australian rock revival. Their sound is often described as loud, unapologetic, and deeply rooted in classic rock tradition, with a distinctly Aussie pub-rock attitude.
