Episode 94: Kim Yang
I’ll admit that when it comes to music in Australia, Canberra is a music scene that is typically overlooked. Which is a shame, because that’s where most folks got to experience the rise of Kim Yang. Born in Taipei, Taiwan,...
Episode 93: Dean Hanson – Ball Park Music, Zeano
For the Australian music fans among us (and I’ve looked at the podcast demographics – that’s most of you), the name Dean Hanson might not be to the level of household recognition, though his work is certainly on the way....
Episode 92: Anna Smyrk
Those keeping their finger on the pulse of the Australian music scene may have noticed that just a few weeks ago, we were blessed with the release of Spectacular Denial, the debut album from Anna Smyrk. An artist who has...
Episode 91: Wilsen Conn, George Inglis & Brooke Kymberley – Fairtrade Narcotics
I’m going to make a bold claim that if you’re listening to this podcast, you’ve got a very good taste in music. That’s why I think you’d do very well to check out Melbourne’s own Fairtrade Narcotics. A genre-defying six-piece...
Episode 90: Alex Cameron & Ben Marwe – Bad//Dreems
For close to 15 years now, I’ve been a massive fan of Adelaide’s Bad//Dreems. Regarded as one of Adelaide’s finest purveyors of pub-rock (a term they initially shied away from), Bad//Dreems first formed back in 2011, and wasted no time...

Episode 88: Ben Walsh – Tigers Jaw
For over two decades now, the world of indie rock and emo has hosted none other than Pennsylvania’s Tigers Jaw. First formed in 2005 as a two-piece, the project soon expanded and began releasing music. In 2008, their self-titled second...
Episode 87: Dick Valentine – Electric Six
I’d like to imagine that I’m like a lot of people when I say that I enjoy music that doesn’t take itself too seriously. That’s probably why I found myself resonating with Electric Six when they first broke onto the...
Episode 86: Will Pugh – Cartel
If you’re one of those folks who contends that pop-punk was at its best in the ’00s (and it was, let’s face it), then there’s a pretty good chance you’ve bumped a bit of Cartel in your time. First formed...
Episode 85: Darren Cordeux – Kisschasy
For close to 25 years now, the Australian music scene has been home to a little group called Kisschasy. First forming in around 2002, the group rose to fame in 2005 with their exceptional debut record United Paper People, and...
