Self Righteous Brothers is the mainly acoustic, alternative rock music, side-project of Australian punk rockers, Frenzal Rhomb's lead singer Jason Whalley and guitarist, Lindsay McDougall which formed in 2004.^[1]^[2] Inspired by American band, the Frogs, their music is humorous and often explicit. They released an album, Love Songs for the Wrong at Heart, in 2004 and was re-released in March 2005 via Shock Records.^[3]

The group's members were called "insensitive" by the South Australian Tourism Commission for the album track, "There's no Town Like Snowtown", which refers to the infamous bodies-in-barrels murders and are associated with the South Australian town of that name.^[4] Blair Boyer of Punk Globe Magazine described how, "This song and other irreverent offerings", appear on that album.^[4]

dBMagazine' s Simon Foster opined, "they've managed to round up a swag of witty/offensive (take your pick) tunes with some great names and lyrics, a bunch of obscure instruments (Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer anyone?), and chucked them all on the one album [...] Although having a bit of fun, the lads display a surprisingly high amount of musical ability and 'Love Songs...' is great for a laugh... just don't set your expectations too high."^[1]
