We’ve done something we’ve never done before…
Our very first When Rivers Meet cassette.
️️️
Only 100 copies have been made.
There’s something about holding music in your hands like this.
Raw, physical… a little bit nostalgic. We weren’t even sure whether to do it. But now they’re here… we’re so glad we did.
If you want one, don’t hang about, we genuinely don’t expect these to last long.
Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Thanks for being part of everything we do.
Much Love

It’s one month tomorrow until Rhythm Rust & Static is out… and honestly, we’re a bit blown away.
Both of the limited vinyl editions have already sold out. We genuinely didn’t expect them to go this quickly... especially with over a month still to go.
It’s clear we underestimated just how many of you wanted this one on vinyl 🤩
Because of that, the ‘Nocturnal’ vinyl is now running low…
If you’ve been thinking about grabbing a copy, now’s the moment.
Just a quick one…
Our latest single The Script has been nominated for Tracks of the Week by Classic Rock Magazine ⚡️
If you haven’t heard it yet, you can watch the music video here.
And if you’ve been enjoying it, we’d massively appreciate your vote.
Thank you for everything you’ve done to get us to this point.
Much Love

We’re really excited to finally share this with you…
Our brand new single The Script is out now... taken from our upcoming album Rhythm Rust & Static, out 29th May.
⚡️⚡️⚡️
This song’s about pushing back against that feeling that everything’s already decided for you… and choosing your own way forward instead.
We’d love you to give it a listen and let us know what you think.
A lot of you have already been picking up the Limited Edition Vinyl... and High Voltage edition has now completely sold out.
🔥🔥🔥
There are now just 39 copies left of the Midnight Oil Limited Edition vinyl for Rhythm Rust & Static.
Once they’re gone, this variant won’t be pressed again.
If you fancy something a bit special, now’s the time to grab one before they disappear.
Much Love

(Live in Nottingham) 🔥
Watch them now on You Tube, click on the links above!
These are more than just videos to us they’re a bit of a celebration of the road, the shows, and all the moments we’ve shared with you out there.
And that brings us to…
Rhythm Rust & Static Tour

Thanks as always for being part of this with us.
See you out there soon.
We’re really excited to announce that Greene will be joining us as special guest on the Rhythm Rust & Static Tour 2026 ⚡️
Greene is the musical project of Joe Anderton. After spending years playing in Connor Selby’s band and writing with artists like The Cinelli Brothers, he’s now fully stepped into his own world with this project.
His sound leans into pop melodies, but there’s something deeper running through it… introspective, sometimes whimsical, and really honest.
⚡️⚡️⚡️
His debut EP The Content Creator came out in 2024, followed by Now I’ve Got You Listening — a more vulnerable, stripped-back release. There’s also a raw edge in tracks like Three Finger Carrie, where you can hear those garage rock influences creeping in.
And live… that’s where it really lands. It’s personal, it’s authentic, and there’s a warmth to it that we know you’re going to connect with.

As for us…
We’re just starting to find our feet with our little boy Bobby born on the 12th March, and settling into this new chapter at home… but we’re already so excited to get back out on the road with our tour baby in tow.
This tour is going to be a big one. We’re heading out as a three-piece, bringing Rhythm Rust & Static to the stage exactly how it was recorded, raw, stripped back, and loud where it needs to be. We’ll be playing the new album in full, along with some of the songs that got us here.
If you’re thinking of coming, don’t leave it too long 👇

This Friday we’re releasing the first single from our new album Rhythm Rust & Static. The song is called The Tide Is Turning.
This one comes from those nights out on the road when everything feels a little rough around the edges. The windows are rattling from the amps, the venue is packed and noisy, there’s the smell of beer in the air and the floors are sticky beneath your feet.
️️️It captures that moment just before stepping on stage when the anticipation starts to build and you can feel the energy of the room coming alive. Underneath it all there’s a feeling that this is exactly where you’re meant to be. It’s a feeling we both crave.
Recently we were walking past a venue and could hear a band soundchecking inside. It wasn’t our show, but the moment we heard the band through the walls we both felt that same rush of excitement and anticipation you get just before a gig.
That moment is exactly what this song is about.
The Tide Is Turning will be released at 10am GMT on Friday across all streaming platforms, and the music video will go live at the same time. We can’t wait for you to hear and see it.
🔥🔥🔥
This single is the first glimpse into the world of our upcoming album Rhythm Rust & Static, which arrives on the 29th May.
If you’d like to pre-order the album, there are only a small handful of the High Voltage limited vinyl still available.
Pre-order the album here ⬇
Much Love

P.S. We’ve also just released a couple of live videos today if you fancy watching something while we count down to Friday.

👇EYE OF A HURRICANE👇
The pre-order for Rhythm Rust & Static opens this Friday (6 March) at 10am GMT, and we’re really excited to finally start sharing more about how this record came together.
When we started working on Rhythm Rust & Static, we decided to approach this album a little differently.
Usually we record everything in one focused block of time in the studio. This time the songs came together gradually throughout the year, which allowed the record to evolve naturally and gave each track the space to become what it needed to be.
We also set ourselves a creative limitation.
When we made Addicted To You, we recorded it as a six-piece band, because we knew we wanted to recreate that album live exactly as it sounded on the record. That meant bringing in two new band members and building those bigger arrangements with layered harmonies and instrumentation.
With Rhythm Rust & Static, we wanted to explore the opposite idea… something rawer, more stripped back and more intense.
⚡️⚡️⚡️
Part of that inspiration came from recording “Soulbreaker” for the Matt Long tribute album. That track naturally leaned towards a more stripped-back arrangement, and it sparked the idea of exploring that sound further.
Our drummer James Fox is also a multi-instrumentalist and co-writer on the album, and after how much we enjoyed our duo tour, we started thinking how fun it would be to take that intimacy and just expand it slightly, bringing Foxy along and touring this record as a three-piece.
We also worked again with our longtime producer Adam Bowers, who co-wrote the songs with us and, as always, was instrumental in shaping the sound of the record.
It creates a different energy on stage and keeps everything within the same limitations we used when recording the album.
But don’t worry… this doesn’t mean the six-piece shows are disappearing! We absolutely love playing with the full band and we’ll definitely be back out as a six-piece again soon. It’s fantastic to have the freedom to explore these different ways of performing the music.
If you’d like to see where we’ll be heading out on the trio tour, you can find the dates >here<

P.S. Baby Bondy is due any day now… so things are getting very exciting (and slightly unpredictable!) in the Bond household at the moment.
This is a first for us…
For the first time ever, we’ve featured on an album that isn’t our own... and honestly, we loved recording this song so much. It was a project that just felt right to be part of.
The track we recorded is called Soulbreaker, it's for a tribute album to Matt Long, former frontman and guitarist of the multi award-winning UK blues rock band Catfish.
Matt was a huge talent and a beautiful soul, and this project has brought together a group of his friends from across the blues and rock world to celebrate his songwriting and his life.
Matt sadly passed away in October 2024 at the age of 29, following a battle with cancer.
Apart from the title track, every song on the album was written by Matt, and each artist has reinterpreted one of his songs in their own way. It’s been really moving to hear how everyone’s put their own stamp on his music while keeping the heart of his writing alive.
The lineup on this album is pretty incredible and includes:
Elles Bailey, Paul Jones, The Cinelli Brothers, Blue Nation, Sean Webster, Brave Rival, Will Wilde, Zac Schulze, Alice Armstrong, Dom Martin, Chantel McGregor, Katie Bradley, Adrienne Cowan… and us.
There are also guitar solos from Joe Bonamassa and Walter Trout (using Matt’s original vocals).
The release is a 16-track double vinyl with coloured discs and a lyric booklet, and it’s also available as a double CD or download.
If you’d like to hear our song on the album, we’ve got a music video out now! ⬇️
Most importantly, all proceeds from the album will go to the cancer ward at Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford, where Matt received treatment.
So by picking this up, you’re not just supporting the music, you’re supporting something genuinely meaningful.
This is a presale, with the album released on 20th March 2026, and vinyl shipping shortly before the launch date.
It feels really special to be part of something outside of our own world for once, and we’re proud that our song sits alongside so many artists we respect for such a good cause.
If you fancy checking it out and supporting the project, it truly means a lot.
Much Love
Grace & Aaron
Thanks so much for the love you’ve shown the Rhythm Rust & Static Tour 🔥 If you’ve already grabbed your tickets, that’s amazing and we can’t wait to see you out there.
Just a little heads-up… we’re playing smaller, more intimate venues on this run, and tickets are selling really fast, so if you’ve been meaning to check the dates and sort your tickets, now’s a good moment.
This tour is for our brand new album Rhythm Rust & Static, which is due out in the spring, and it’s going to be a bit different for us!
⚡️⚡️⚡️
There'll be three of us on stage, as we have the awesome James Fox joining us on backing vocals, guitar, and percussion.
When we recorded the album, we were consciously shaping it so that we’d be able to recreate it fully live, and we’re genuinely buzzing about putting this show together and bringing those songs to life on stage with you.

At the moment we’re in the cabin, our music space at the bottom of the garden where lots of you have seen us live streaming from over the years, but we’ve switched it into full songwriting hub mode while we’re at home.
We’re deep into writing sessions with Ads and Foxy (making the most of being at home while Baby Bondy is due to arrive in the next month or so), but we keep catching ourselves slipping into tour rehearsals because we’re just so excited about building this live show and imagining how it’s all going to feel in those rooms with you.
Much Love
Grace & Aaron
P.S. We’ve also created a really cool new Rhythm Rust & Static T-shirt if you fancy being tour-ready.
The design features a vintage analogue mixing desk, because this album is raw, hands-on, and properly old-school. It’s up on the online store now if you want to grab one ahead of the shows.

This time around, we’re heading into smaller, more intimate venues, bringing the songs closer and making every show feel truly personal.
On stage, it’s us... joined by our long-time collaborator James Fox, who brings added depth through percussion, guitar, and backing vocals. With just three of us on stage, the sound is still big, immersive, and full of energy.
We’re seriously excited about this tour and we’d love you to be part of it.
So if you fancy coming along, jump in early and grab your tickets before they’re gone. 🔥⚡
Hope to see you on the road!

We wanted to share a quick update about how we’re releasing our music. You’ll still be able to buy everything directly from us as usual, but our releases will no longer be available through record stores...
Our third album Aces Are High was our first record to be available in HMV and independent record stores, and it was a huge milestone for us. Seeing our music on those shelves was something we’d dreamed about from the very beginning, and supporting independent record shops has always been incredibly important to us. We were proud to be part of that world!
But we've made a big change...
As a fully independent band, self-managed and self-released, we’ve made the decision to focus entirely on selling direct. The scale and logistics required for physical distribution are designed around major-label systems, and choosing to step away from that model allows us to stay true to how we work and how we want to run things.
The upside is that this gives us complete control over quality, fulfilment, and customer care, something we really pride ourselves on. If there’s ever an issue, we can deal with it quickly and personally, and make sure your experience is exactly how it should be.
We’ve got huge respect for record stores and what they do, and this decision isn’t about moving away from that, it’s about choosing the most sustainable and independent path forward for us.
We’ve got a brand-new music video coming out this Friday for “Coming Up For Air” ⚡️
It’s a really personal one, and we’ll be digging a little deeper into what it means to us at 10am GMT on Friday.
Much Love
Grace & Aaron
