Group Therapy is the sixth studio album by the Rubens. It will also be the final Friday Flash(back) for 2026. The weekly series will return in Q1, 2027.
Group Therapy was announced back in August, alongside the single Love Me America. The album was released mid this month. The album will be supported with an initial 14-date tour October through December, with an additional 10 dates added in September for January + February in the new year.
So where did the Rubens start off? Back inn 2011, the recently formed group uploaded a demo of the song Lay It Down onto Triple J Unearthed. The song was voted number 57 on the Triple J Hottest 100, that year.
Their August 2012 single, My Gun, was nominated for Best Music Video at the 2012 ARIA Awards and was voted number 10 on the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2012.
In May 2015, the band released the lead single from their second album, called Hallelujah. The album, Hoops, was released in August 2015. The follow-up single from the album, the title track Hoops, reached number 25 on the ARIA Singles Chart in 2015. It was also voted number 1 in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2015. After its success on the Hottest 100, the single re-entered the charts, reaching a new peak of number 9 on the ARIA Singles Chart in February 2016.
In June 2018, the band released their third studio album, Lo La Ru, which became their third to debut within the ARIA top 5. In the same year, the band supported Pink in her 46-show tour of Australia.
In February 2021, the band released their fourth studio album, 0202. It debuted at number 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, becoming the band's first album to do so. The band's fifth studio album Soda was released on 20 September 2024.
The group have been a main stay on the Aussie music scene. So take some time to listen into the latest record below. Can't wait for the Friday Flash(back) to return in early 2027. I can't believe we are already talking about 2027.
Come back Monday for a fresh feature record!
