<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">The Rubens are heading back on the road for their sixth studio album,<em> Group Therapy,</em> heading to 25+ cities across Australia in 2026/27, presented by triple j, Grow Yourself Up and WME.</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">It's the sound of a band going full circle. After experimenting with synths and autotune on 2024's <strong>SODA</strong>, Group Therapy sees The Rubens return to their roots - guitar-driven, recorded live in the room, and made with a mindset of getting it right the first time rather than fixing it later. Produced once again by Konstantin Kersting <strong>(Spacey Jane, DMAs, Genesis Owusu),</strong> this time working alongside the band in person at their Camden studio, it's their most authentic record in years.</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">The album takes its name, in part, from lead singer Sam Margin's own journey through sobriety and therapy during the making of the record - and the idea that music, at its best, is a shared experience. <em>"How do people often experience music? Together,"</em> says keyboardist Elliott Margin. <em>"Live shows are our favourite part of being in a band. That's pretty much group therapy for us."</em></p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Fans have already had a taste of the record with singles "Goanna," "Are You Getting High" and "Love Me America" - the latter a sprawling, guitar-driven love letter to America inspired by the band's earliest, wide-eyed trips to the US as a young band courted by major labels.</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Following five studio albums that have each debuted in the ARIA Top 5, and singles like "Never Ever," "Live in Life" and "Hoops" going triple-Platinum, The Rubens' Group Therapy Tour is the sound of a band, fifteen years in, still finding new things to say.</p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">Group Therapy is out worldwide on October 16th, 2026</p>
