    Like many of us Australians, the first time I saw Southern River Band live was at your gig at the Enmore Theatre last year. I was totally blown away by this band and I've seen them play several times since. They instantly brought to the mind the classic rock and roll I grew up on (many decades ago). I'm old enough to be their grandma, but every time they play near me you will find me in the front row dancing my Docs off. Thank you so much for bringing this wonderful band to my attention.
  • @chrisroberts7607
    Awesome of you to showcase these guys again! Loved seeing them at your Sydney concert! Thanks for sharing this brilliant Aussie band to the world! šŸŽøšŸŽø
  • @6runger
    Thank you Justin for introducing this amazing band to me! They REALLY F***ING ROCK! I love your channel. Keep it up
  • @ZuzuTheLemon
    There's something lovely about seeing someone from your older favourite band say nice things about your newest favourite band. These videos bring me proper joy ā¤
  • @bornagainartist
    This episode is a perfect example of why I love this channel...was introduced to some new amazing music, learned something and laughed along the way. I also heard some ZZ Topish elements which is never bad! You are a gem!!!
  • @Reid_Jorgensen
    Another great example of why I love this channel...sharing obscure or not well known bands/music. Expanding our musical horizons! šŸ¤˜
  • @life952
    This has Thin Lizzy absolutely written all over it at the beginning of the song - Are you ready (to rock)?? Also shades of Zeppelin's Rock And Roll. Then it moves into that bluesy groove. Pure class. Been a long lonely time for a band like this for sure! Love it!
  • @artysanmobile
    What a voice! And the band play as one, using phrases weā€™ve heard thousands use, but very rarely with such impeccable meter. ACDC made a career out of doing what virtually everyone who aped them utterly failed at. Nailing the tempo, leaving holes you could drive a truck thru. These guys are right there.
  • @danjohnstone7684
    One of the many who heard these guys because of their touring with The Darkness. Absolutely blown away hearing them live. Rock is not dead
  • So great to see you talk about the Southern River Band, love this band. If anyone has the opportunity to see them live please do. Their set is incredible šŸ˜
  • @mattjns
    This is 70ā€™s Aussie Rock. So many awesome artists sounded like this over here back in the day. Pure excitement.
  • @richieallen2810
    I was blown away by these guys at The Darkness gig in the Tivoli in Brisbane last year. These guys will be huge if they keep the momentum. Just proper rock n roll.
  • @johnhulse4124
    I love bands that play with this degree of bombast and joyful lack of holding back! They're kicking it.
  • Good day to you Justin. What a show yesterday night in Milan. You guys really smacked the stage and the audience. Still have my mind there. I can only thank you for all the emotions and feelings you gave me. šŸ¤˜šŸ¤˜šŸ¤˜
  • Never heard of them, but love it, i wanna hear more. The thing i love most abour this channel is Justins humility, a rock star that remains one of the people. Hes not threatened by up and comers, no transparent envy, he admires, and promotes others talent, and lives to share it. Justin loves the art of rock n roll and is every bit as much a fan as the rest of us. He remains one of the people...
  • @stevestrang2376
    Anybody who plays guitar has to be impressed how quickly Justin picks up the guitars parts! He does it in so many of his videos. Heā€™s certainly a great guitar player.
  • @Baldevi
    I love you Justin [Not romantically, Luv, as a beautiful and wonderful dude] and I so appreciate your reactions, you're [putting all sorts of new-to-me music in front of my eyes and ears, Wonderful! Thanks for your insights and that you're simply a lovely human. May the Tour be a smashing success and make everyone involved very happy!
  • @paulrob55
    Their live stuff is ass kicking! They carry on the grand tradition of great Aussie rock bands that none of us Americans have ever heard of.
  • @Widdy5150
    HOLY BATMAN SHIT!!! Thank you Justin for introducing this band to me. Definitely checking out more šŸ˜‹
