Suicide Country Hour (SCH) are an alternative-country band from Brisbane, Queensland.

SCH is known for balancing lyrical melodrama with comedic banter, resulting in a turbulent

and entertaining live experience.

SCH spawned from a tattered share-house in 2013. Fast forward 13 years, a few

recruitments and three albums, the band has evolved into an Alt-country mainstay in the

Meanjin/Brisbane scene.

2026 sees the release of SCH’s 4 th album titled ‘Broken Hymns’ to be launched at Mirrorball

Ministries on the Saturday the 14 th of November. Supporting on the night are Brisbane

swagger sweethearts, Hillsborough.

Recorded at Airlock Studios, Broken Hymns seeks to further the cannon of SCH’s Alt-

country music with 2/4 shuffles and traditional country bops. This is coincided with songs

leaning towards alternative-indie-folk and sprinkled with some power pop for good measure.

Lyrically SCH are as heartbreaking as they have always been exploring love, loss, anxiety,

and of course, hangovers.

The album launch promises to be a cathartic, potentially tear inducing, dose of alternative-

country and indie music. This is bound to be a memorable evening so get amongst it. It’s

sure to be a hoot.
