On their last official day of high school, 2021 Unearthed High winners The Rions are announcing their signing to UNIFIED Artist Management today as well as the appointment of  Select Music for booking.

The news comes alongside the release of The Rions’ new single ‘Disassociation’, out now via Community Music following its radio debut on triple j yesterday. Launched last month, Community Music is the newly-minted distribution arm of UNIFIED Music Group, also home to its own Artist Management division, suite of record labels (UNFD, Domestic La La & THAA) and other companies spanning booking, events & festival, merchandise and more.

On signing The Rions, UNIFIED Artist Manager Steve de Wilde shares:

“To have such incredible songwriting instincts and playing chops at such a young age is a rare thing. It feels like sky’s the limit for these guys and we’re really excited to be on board to help bring their vision to life.”

Meanwhile, Select Music Agency’s Stephen Wade adds:

“We are so happy to welcome The Rions to the Select Music family. Fresh out of school and ready to take on the world & we cant wait to help them build the career they deserve. Immensely talented, yet humble and most importantly wonderful human beings we look forward to starting this career journey with them & look forward to being a part of their team.”

Today The Rions also announce their debut hometown headline show to celebrate ‘Disassociation’. Going down at Sydney’s The Vanguard on January 21, the launch sits alongside the band’s other appearances at 2022 summer festivals including NYE On The Hill, Yours & Owls and Play On The Plains.

After winning Unearthed High in August, The Rions returned to Forbes St Studio with Producer Callum Howell (Ocean Alley) to record the follow up to their acclaimed single ’Night Light’Click here to listen to ‘Disassociation’ now, meanwhile the band explains more on the track below:

“The song is about the effects that disassociation has had on someone dear to our hearts, and how it changed the way they view their life. We wrote it in an acoustic, story-telling style revealing more about the song through the lyrics the same way the character learnt more about disassociation, understanding more about what they were feeling. We wanted to achieve the feeling of an allusive journey that is moving at its own pace with a humble sense of importance through the recording. We worked with the amazing Callum Howell (Producer/Mixer) who really helped bring the song to life.”
