Harrison Rimmer reimagines fan favourite 'Ripped Up Magazine' for upcoming album 'Cheaper Than Therapy'

Singer-songwriter Harrison Rimmer has unveiled a new version of his cult favourite track 'Ripped Up Magazine', ahead of the release of his forthcoming album 'Cheaper Than Therapy'. Originally written in 2014/15 for an EP that never fully materialised, the song has long been a sleeper hit among fans, quietly becoming his most requested and covered track.

“‘Ripped Up Magazine’ was never meant to be a single,” Harrison shares. “It was about that weird lull between finishing uni and starting work, when life felt aimless but the world was still pushing you to grow up. It just sounded cool to me at the time.”

Years later, producer Grant Henderson convinced Harrison to re-record the track with his live band, and the result is a powerful reinterpretation that captures both nostalgia and evolution. “In therapy I’ve been encouraged to have conversations with my younger self, and revisiting this song was part of that process,” Harrison explains.

The track now finds its home on 'Cheaper Than Therapy', a record that sees Harrison at his most expansive, drawing influence from Bruce Springsteen to Celine Dion, and reflecting deeply on themes of love, loss, travel, and self-understanding.
