Episode 117: Sam & Elliott Margin – The Rubens
It’s a little difficult to think about the Australian music scene of the past 15 years without thinking of The Rubens. Hailing from Menangle in New South Wales, the largely familial band (three of its five members are brothers, you...
Bonus Episode 9: Kevin Krauter & Nina Pitchkites – Wishy
If you’re someone who likes their indie rock and alternative music with a healthy dose of shoegaze, well I reckon you’d do pretty well to check out Wishy. Why’s that, you ask? Well, it’s probably because that’s exactly what the...
Episode 116: iOTA
When it comes to folks who ensure their life is surrounded by art, it’s hard to look past iOTA. Having launched into the world of music and drama as a teenager, both of these disciplines have been vital parts...

Episode 113: Josh Law & Ben Sadler – Getdown Services
As far back as I remember, I’ve never been someone to really find myself attracted to bands that generate a lot of ‘buzz’. I mean, I remember realising as a kid that I had to listen to a song numerous...
Mixtape, Vol. 5

Episode 112: Harvey Geraghty, Leon Karagic & Itay Shachar – The Lazy Eyes
It’s always really fun watching artists catch on quickly and suddenly seeing their popularity skyrocketing as folks catch on and pay deep attention to them. That’s pretty much what happened with Sydney outfit The Lazy Eyes when they first formed...
