The Smith Street Band Australian Tour 2014 has been announced as the beloved Melbourne passion punk-smiths hit the road in support of their forthcoming new album.
Already touted as an album to get majorly excited about, Throw Me In The River is the third full-length album for The Smith Street Band, and to celebrate they’re heading out this November to venues around the country. The four-piece will grace stages in Hobart, Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, and Perth, bringing their bulletproof sense of enthusiasm and songcraft with them, including a swag of new material.
Released on October 31 through Poison City Records, Throw Me in the River is the culmination of a heavy touring schedule and the trials and tribulations that come with it. Often dark, but always honest, the album is full of their trademark earnest storytelling and serves as a snapshot of the last few years of their hectic lives.
With songs written in Winnipeg, Salt Lake City, Calgary, London, New York and North Melbourne, it’s only fitting The Smith Street Band take their soon to be released LP to all corners of the world.

In preparation for the Australian tour, the hometown heroes will spend October playing shows throughout Europe and the UK with friends The Menzingers, before jetting to the USA for a short East Coast tour, including a third straight appearance at The Fest in Gainesville, Florida.
Be it at Boston’s House Of Blues, a basement bar in South West London, Groezrock Festival in Belgium or a secret show in the small township of Forrest where they recorded their album, The Smith Street Band have honed their live show with precision over the past 12 months.
With a sold out national headline tour earlier in the year and a recent run of sold out dates with Violent Soho under their belt, along with an appearance on Triple J’s Live At The Wireless, The Smith Street Band are certainly not to be missed on tour this November.
No strangers to hosting international guests, this time they’ll bring along New Jersey’s indie-folk-punk sweethearts The Front Bottoms and English comrades Apologies, I Have None to round out a triple threat tour de force.
