Throw Me in the River, the Smith Street Band's third album, came out in 2014 with SideOneDummy Records behind it, and it finds the Melbourne punks sounding big-hearted and bruised. The band is named for a street in their hometown, and they started out as Wil Wagner and the Smith Street Band, a wink at Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, before dropping his name in 2011 to show the songs belonged to everyone.

Here Wagner sings and plays guitar alongside Lee Hartney, with Michael Fitzgerald on bass and Chris Cowburn on drums, the three of them piling in on backing vocals, and the result is punk rock with its heart hanging out: ragged guitars, gang-shouted choruses and Wagner's headlong delivery. "Surrender" is the one to start with.
