The Southern River Band are back with a towering new single F**k You, Pay Me, a protest song for the working-class.
Fuelled by frustration and supported by thundering riffs, the band originating from Thornlie, Perth, unleashed this towering track in an attempt to stand up to capitalism and the powers who continue to make our lives harder.
“This song is for everyone who has ever been stiffed, ripped off, bullsh*tted or flat out not received what they were promised. To the guilty parties - F**k You, Pay Me,” said vocalist Cal Kramer.
The band encourages anyone with debts piling up to put this song on and scream it with their whole chest, middle fingers up.
With the exciting release of this single, The Southern River Band have announced their F**k You, Pay Me Australian and European tour. In May, the rockers will play six locations in Australia before heading to Europe in June for five electrifying nights.
Tickets to the band’s national tour are now available via the Southern River Band’s website—you can find the dates and venues below.

In 2024, Southern River Band set the tone with the release of their high-octane fourth record, D.I.Y., that not only landed at #6 on the ARIA Australian Albums Chart, but the vinyl needed to be repressed before it was even released.
The record’s breakout six-minute epic Stan Qualen thrust the band on the global stage, charting in 23 countries and taking them on their first international tour. Their first UK show sold out in just four days, leading to a venue upgrade more than double the size, which, you guessed it, sold out - as did most of the tour.
The band have performed on a multitude of European festival stages, leaving thousands gobsmacked at The Great Escape, Vestrock, Sweden Rock Festival, Rock Wrechter and Down The Rabbit Hole, and they will return in 2025 to dominate Download, Hellfest, and Resurrection festivals.
