Broken River is releasing a new single "Me Versus You" and is playing a headline show at The Tote in Melbourne on Thursday, 17th August with support from The In The Out and Teenage Dads.
Broken River is a new project driven by Melbourne singer-songwriter Ben Stolz. Ben's influences are diverse drawing from The Cure to Bruce Springsteen to Swervedriver.
Broken River alternates as a solo performer or as a five-piece act which also includes Dave Kleynjans (drums), Ryan Adamson (bass), Dave Rogers (guitars) and Andy Ferguson (keyboard).
"Me Versus You" was a late addition in terms of studio recordings but nevertheless stood out. The song is a dark anthem with layers of woven guitars and pounding drums. It's the sound of crushing heartbreak and melancholy.
