Kicking off their Australian regional tour just last week, today The Rions announce the deluxe edition of their debut album Everything Every Single Day out May 8 with new single ‘Idol’. LISTEN HERE + PRE-SAVE THE DELUXE HERE
Driven by a catchy guitar riff, ‘Idol’ carries a sense of nostalgia for the band, who recall repeatedly playing its opening riff at soundcheck simply because they loved it so much. While the initial outlines first came to life years ago, it wasn’t until recently that the song’s deeper narrative revealed itself. The Rions share, “Idol explores how truly powerful love is, even if it’s just for a fleeting moment.” This theme of love and self-discovery that permeates throughout their debut album continues to evolve with ‘Idol’, cementing it as a defining feature in their narrative.
Also out today is the official music video for ‘Idol‘, directed by Vanilla Tupu. “My parents have been together 40 years, and being able to immortalize their love in this music video is one of the true honours of my life,” Tupu shares. “The emotion, joy, love and heartbreak you see on screen is completely real, and I’m so grateful to The Rions for entrusting me to bring this little story to life, for one of the most beautiful tracks I’ve heard in the Aussie music industry for a long time.”
Recorded across a year with ARIA Award-winning producer Chris Collins (Ruby Fields, Pacific Avenue, Matt Corby), their first full-length project delivered a thoughtful, introspective, and emotionally charged collection of polished pop-rock. Charting at #1 on the ARIA Australia Album Chart, #2 on the Vinyl Chart, and #5 overall, the album was the triple j Feature Album upon release with two singles cracking the 2025 Hottest 100 countdown, and saw wider support across Rolling Stone AU, 10 Magazine, ELLE Australia, Frankie Magazine, The Music, fbi.radio and more. Inspired by artists such as Sam Fender, The Japanese House, and the ever-influential Beatles, the album represents a significant evolution in The Rions’ sound, while preserving the sincerity and warmth that have defined them from the start.
The deluxe version of Everything Every Single Day builds upon their breakthrough debut with the addition of 6 new songs and a piano rendition of a fan favourites. Speaking on the deluxe project, Harley Wilson reveals, “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.”
Having played their first show of their Australian regional run close to home at The Mona, The Rions are officially back on the road, bringing their memorable live show to every corner of the country with support from Chloe Parché, Hey So Hungry, Gordon’s Grandson and Bella Amor. In May, The Rions will be heading to New Zealand for three just-announced headline shows in Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland, before making their return to the UK and Europe for a 6 show tour across Rotterdam, Hamburg, Cologne, London, then Bristol and Nottingham for Dot To Dot Festival.
