From Crumbling Down to The Catch

Since releasing Crumbling Down in November 2025 a single off the new album ‘The Catch’, it has gained some momentum. A song depicting some of the aspects in Australia’s rural communities. The highs and lows of farming and Crumbling small towns and their communities.

Amazingly not considered ‘Big Bro’ it made Country Town’s top 50 and has been played on radio rotation Nationally.

The Catch - The title and song off the album is scheduled for release in April 2026. It was decided to share the song pre album release to give listeners another glimpse at John’s background. The Catch is a direct reflection of hours spent in the shearing industry and an insight into some of the jargon used in a the shearing sheds eg: ‘Ducks on the Pond’ - meaning that there are ladies coming into the shed - Don’t swear !

Produced by Shane Nicholson and moving into the Heritage song category, The Catch will resonate with listeners and folk that have been part of the industry.
