Adding to their notable discography of rock n’ roll treats, The Delta Riggs are thrilled to return with a new single and space-age video accompaniment, ‘Reality’. The single is the fourth offering from the band’s highly anticipated fourth studio album ‘Modern Pressure’, out September 6 on Inertia Music.
“’Reality’ is a song for the dreamers about looking inward to create your own change and not getting caught up in the details,” explains guitarist Jesse Pattinson.
Talking about the record, frontman Elliott Hammond remarks the release is an expression of the band’s collective growth, and shows a development in their songwriting that he hopes will resonate with those who listen.
“We feel ‘Modern Pressure’ is a release that Riggs followers have always wanted. The essence of the album is both heartfelt and volatile. We pushed ourselves to the edge. We really hope you enjoy it.”
Recently the Aussie movers and shakers announced their signing to the renowned X-Ray Touring roster, where they will join the likes of Coldplay and Eminem under the care of UK heavyweight agent Steve Strange.
Later this year The Delta Riggs will venture overseas to play a string of shows in Europe and UK, surrounding a special appearance at Germany’s Reeperbahn Festival. This year the festival has selected Australia as their focus country, with The Rubens, DZ Deathrays, and Olympia among the other Aussies so far confirmed.

‘Reality’ follows recent track ‘Don’t You Frown’; a stomping, groove-fuelled number which confronts finality and the beginnings of a new chapter with humility and dignified poise. ‘Don’t You Frown’ shows a more poignant and emotive side of The Delta Riggs’ songwriting, which sets the tone for the band’s fourth studio album ‘Modern Pressure’.
Previous tracks ‘Out Of Place’ and ‘Fake That’, which served as a wake-up call for an age where Insta-fame, AR, and #fakenews dominate our digital realm. This sincere approach to songwriting saw ‘Fake That’ score a high rotation add on triple j leading into a sold out national headline tour, and clock up over 400k streams on Spotify.
Follow up single ‘Out Of Place’ was also met with widespread love, gaining a rotation add on triple j and clocking up over 350k streams and counting.
The new tracks follow the band’s acclaimed 2016 album ‘Active Galactic’, featuring the hit single ‘Baddest Motherfucker In the Beehive’ which has stacked up close to 2million Spotify streams since release. The Delta Riggs have also cut their teeth on some impressive live shows, having supported Foo Fighters, Kasabian, and Primal Scream, plus performing at Splendour In the Grass, Groovin’ The Moo, and Festival of the Sun.
Despite modern pressures, The Delta Riggs have stayed true to themselves. They’ve remained busy on the road, meeting and performing for real people, listening to their stories and creating genuine connections. It’s these stories, mashed with sweat, swagger, and guitars that has influenced the band’s fourth self-produced record, due for release in 2019.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
