Ally Row Release 'Numb To The Touch'
Gippsland duo, Ally Row, release the final radio single - "Numb to the Touch" - from their hit album, "Something More", on Friday 20th February.
The song is a stunning slice of melancholy perfection with both Alice and Rowan taking the reins on lead vocals.
The gorgeous melody wax and wanes with lush, layered vocal harmonies, eery electric banjo and strings played ever so beautifully by Robyn Blann - proving they are more than energetic crowd pleasers.
Alice confides, "this song is all about acknowledging my own flaws and reminding myself that relationships take work because they contain two imperfect individuals. But sparks have to fly if you want to start a fire, right?"
Rowan says, "when our faults aren't recognised and accounted for, we start trying to be someone were not. this can be physically and mentally draining. We all just want to be loved for who we are."
Ally Row kicked off 2026 with a successful stint at the Tamworth Country Music Festival that featured a stellar opening spot for Melody Moko that left people raving. Just hours after walking the red carpet at the 2026 Golden Guitar Awards and running on a few hours' sleep, they were back in the car driving to Melbourne to perform at the 2026 Australian Open Tennis in Melbourne. Then off to Tasmania to support Shaun Kirk before heading back to Victoria to support Alex Lloyd.
This weekend they head to TumbaFest in NSW where they will share the bill with Ben Lee, Jem Cassar-Daley, Jenny Mitchell and Pseudo Echo before heading into the studio to record brand new music for release in 2026.
Named winners of the 2023 Triple J Unearthed NYE on the Hill Fest competition, things really started to connect for Ally Row in 2024 when their track, 'The Great Unknown', was picked by ABC Country and added to high rotation on the network. Subsequent high rotation additions came in the form of 'This Time', 'Middle of the Road', 'Hold Me Now', 'Something More' and "There I Go Again".
Ally Row is a high-energy folk-rock duo who name check Of Monsters & Men and Mumford and Sons as key influences on their sound - have opened shows for ARIA Award winners, Fanny Lumsden & William Crighton, as well as Alex Lloyd, Melody Moko and Irish duo, DUG. They have played in front of thousands at Americana in the Park, Groundwater and Queenscliffe Music Festivals in 2025. Their debut album, "Something More", entered the ARIA Top 20 Australian Country Albums Chart at #5.
Ally Row's latest single, "Numb to the Touch", is out Friday 20th February 2026 via Red Rebel Music / MGM Distribution.
