The Rions

The Rions enter their next phase with ‘Sweet Cocoon’, arriving with the announcement of their latest national tour supported by Blusher and Park Rd (NZ) across late May/early June.  Following another breakout year with their lovable debut EP Minivan, The Rions new release channels the stroppy in a sharp-tongued admission of self-preservation. Swinging on a coarse, near grunge guitar riff, ‘Sweet Cocoon’ symbolises the shield we employ in the moments that try us, the defences we utilise to push through. Self-assured against doubt or angst, ‘Sweet Cocoon’ trickles with nods to Room On Fire and AM, The Rions boast newfound grit in their unapologetic anthem.  In their words, The Rions share “Our new track Sweet Cocoon is an ode to bitterness. There's something beautiful about changing who you are in order to distance yourself from who you were, and we attempted to capture that in this song. We hope you can scream it at the top of your lungs as a 'f*ck you' to that certain someone or something in your life. Whether you need a cocoon right now, or you're already as badass as you want to be, Sweet Cocoon will make you sure of it.”  Through their debut EP, The Rions leaped from ‘ones to watch’ to in-demand status thanks to the steady worship of their audience and industry alike. Landing #38 (Minivan), #40 (Scary Movies) and #71 (Take What You Want) in their third year of Hottest 100 entries, Minivan sought enduring praise. Rolling Stone Award nominations, back to back sell out tours from Melbourne’s Corner Hotel to Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory, praise across the ABC’s triple j, Unearthed and RAGE to their international debut conquering festivals and headline shows across Aotearoa / New Zealand earlier this year. Backed by a clear drive for consistent evolution The Rions continue to rise. Experience the fever across the Sweet Cocoon Tour.
