The Rubens have released 'Love Me America' alongside an extensive Australian tour supporting sixth album Group Therapy.
The new song looks back at the band's complicated early encounters with the American music business, from glamorous major-label courtship to the reality that followed.
Musically it moves between larger guitar passages and quieter acoustic sections, giving that reflection both swagger and hindsight.
The tour deliberately extends beyond the standard capital-city circuit into regional and suburban venues, continuing the band's long connection with audiences outside Australia's biggest centres. Alt-rock group SELVE will support most dates, adding another emerging Australian act to a large national run.
