Following the success of last year’s debut EP, The Rions have released their highly anticipated follow-up, Happiness in a Place It Shouldn’t Be.
The six-track EP showcases the indie rock band’s growth and maturity over the past few years, and features three brand new songs.
The EP features new tracks “Passionfruit,” “Friend,” and “The Part,” and the entire record explores friendships and relationships, while blending elements of pop, country, and indie rock.
Citing The Beatles and Arctic Monkeys as huge influences, The Rions have become one of Australia’s most promising up-and-coming bands.
“For our second EP, we wanted to approach it with raw authenticity. This is the most genuine we’ve ever been with our stories, and we’re thrilled to share it with you all,” the band say.
The Rions’ debut tour in 2022 sold out weeks in advance. Since then they’ve been chart mainstays and have grown an audience in the UK and Europe.
Additionally, they’ll be on the road from October until December as they embark on a 21-stop national tour in support of their new EP, which will be their biggest Australian headline tour to date. Tickets are available now via therions.com.
