Background - 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. Broken River release 'Me Versus You' on Friday 11th August 2017. Facebook here.
Title song 'Me Versus You' is accompanied by two other tracks on the new release, each of which would be very strong contenders for the A side in the glorious days of 7" singles. Overall we are treated to some genuine & passion fuelled music that suggest Ben Stolz can deliver some very fine & timeless rock'n'roll.
