Last year saw the release of The Rions’ much-anticipated debut album, Everything Every Single Day. Topping the ARIA Albums Chart and coming in at #2 on the Vinyl Chart, the record showcased the evolution of the band and was critically acclaimed, receiving positive reviews from the likes of Clash Magazine, Rolling Stone AU, ELLE Australia, Frankie Magazine and more.
Eight months on, The Rions have released a deluxe edition of Everything Every Single Day, featuring six unreleased songs, including the Matt Corby collaboration ‘How To Breathe’.
Produced by ARIA winner Chris Collins, who both The Rions and Matt Corby have worked with previously, ‘How To Breathe’ sees The Rions’ Noah Blockley and Corby’s duel vocals creating an engaging synergy.
Speaking on working with Corby, The Rions share, “This song was 10 years in the making, considering one of us did an assignment on Matt Corby in high school, as well as covered his music for years.
“Getting to write a song with him and spend time in the studio was surreal, as well as getting to hear Noah’s voice alongside someone whose voice was a massive inspiration growing up. Matt had an idea for the sonic direction, and we all workshopped the lyrics and parts together from there. It was such a refreshingly collaborative session.”
Everything Every Single Day (The Deluxe Edition) also includes brand new tracks ‘Brittle’, ‘Dirt’, ‘I Don't Know You’, ‘She'll Make a Fool Outta Me’ and a piano version of ‘Maybe I’m Just A Freak’.

Speaking on the album, The Rions guitarist Harley Wilson says, “A lot has happened since we finished writing our debut album Everything Every Single Day. Relationships that inspired songs that made it onto that album naturally evolved, more songs were written, and eventually, we had more to say.
“The deluxe is a continuation of some of those songs, the second part of the narrative, which, as a band, is important to us to tell. We wanted to write about the experience of finally letting love in, and how it feels to shed the fear of loss. We wanted to write about the evolution of overcoming loss, and the unique feelings of each stage, eventually becoming part of something bigger than yourself. I think ultimately, Everything Every Single Day (The Deluxe Edition) is about the perseverance of love.”
The Rions have just wrapped up the Australian leg of their album tour and are playing a handful of shows in New Zealand before heading overseas for shows in the UK and Europe.
