Music: The Rions: Surfacing New Sounds in Aussie Indie Rock

The Rions are a four-piece indie rock band from the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia, made up of Noah Blockley (vocals, bass), Harley Wilson (guitar), Asher McLean (guitar), and Tom Partington (drums). Formed in 2016 as schoolmates, they quickly gained national acclaim after winning triple j’s Unearthed High competition in 2021 with "Night Light". Known for blending influences from bands like Lime Cordiale, Ocean Alley, and Arctic Monkeys, The Rions combine classic indie rock with pop, R&B, and folk touches. Their rise has been marked by millions of streams, ARIA Gold-certified tracks, and sold-out Australian and overseas shows, carving out a reputation for authentic storytelling and emotional depth in their songwriting.

"Scumbag" is a highlight from The Rions’ 2025 debut album "Everything Every Single Day". Produced by Chris Collins, the song channels raw vulnerability into anthemic choruses, exploring themes of regret and self-reflection. With honest lyrics and soaring instruments, "Scumbag" is described by the band as one of their most open and personal tracks, reflecting both their growth and willingness to address shortcomings. Its cinematic indie-rock sound, combined with relatable emotional storytelling, has made it a standout in their catalogue and a fan favourite at live shows.
