2024/08/05

I feel it’s rather customary for me to say that if you’re a fan of bands who blend genres like garage rock, punk rock, and hardcore punk, then I know exactly a band you should be listening to. That band, my friends, is California’s Destroy Boys.Formed in late 2015 by Violet Mayugba and Alexia Roditis, Destroy Boys took influence from all manner of classic punk and rock bands to craft something that is entirely unique. It’s a little hard to categorise too. While they’ve been compared to countless

2024/08/01

If you’re someone who enjoys a bit of rock music and you haven’t found yourself listening to Kingswood at some point over the last decade or so, then you need to change that immediately.Formed in Melbourne around the late 2000s, Kingswood wasted no time in letting their music get heard by the world. Following a self-titled EP in 2010, and their ‘Change Of Heart’ EP in 2012, a competition run by triple j Unearthed to play the iconic Splendour In The Grass festival shot the band to wider fame that

Episode 17: Jo Gardiner & Niam Hegarty – Dental Plan

Trusty Chords ·

2024/07/25

When it comes to Melbourne indie/alternative/punk bands, I would say that I’m in a pretty good position to talk about Dental Plan.First formed in 2018 by guitarist and vocalist Niam Hegarty, bassist and occasional vocalist Jo Gardiner, and drummer Stu Young, the band kicked off writing, recording, and gigging pretty quickly, establishing a respectable fanbase around the city as they did so. Following their self-titled 2018 EP, they group released a single in 2019, before emerging from the depths of

2024/07/18

The world of alternative rock would likely not be anywhere close to what it is today without bands like The Jesus And Mary Chain. Forming in Glasgow back in 1983 by brothers Jim and William Reid, the Scottish outfit are these days considered to be pioneers of genres like alternative rock, shoegaze, and noise-pop. Combining these genres with their own unique take on post-punk and indie-rock, and you’ve got a recipe for something that feels impossible to describe.Having emerged from a world in which

2024/07/11

If you’re not across Iranian-born, New Zealand-raised artists, you’re not only doing yourself a disservice, but you’re missing out on the magnificent CHAII. Ever since the Persian musician moved to Auckland at eight years old, she’s been a firm fan of hip-hop, and as her creativity flourished, so too did she become involved within the world of music, crafting her own unique blend of beats, lyrics, and aesthetics. Alongside the classic tenets of hip-hop, you can find CHAII dropping in flavours of

Episode 14: Matt Weedon – Tors

2024/07/04

If you’ve not yet heard of English trio Tors, there’s a very good chance that’ll be changing soon. Formed by brothers Matt and Theo Weedon in 2016, the “three-piece harmonic indie band” were joined by drummer Jack Bowden after picking him up on Gumtree. However, the band’s history can actually be traced back quite some years, with Matt’s career as a songwriter beginning with a casual appearance of one of his tracks on the beloved TV show ‘Skins’. Fast-forward a few years and a few bands, and now

2024/06/27

For the majority of the last 20 years, one of the most explosive performers on the music scene has been Frank Carter. Unassuming with his short stature and red hair, Frank burst onto the scene as a member of Gallows back in 2005, blowing away everyone with his intense stage presence and mesmerisingly powerful voice.After six years with Gallows, Frank left to form Pure Love, an alternative rock band that slightly eased off the pedal of intensity that we’d previously seen. After a few years there,

Trusty Chords ·

2024/06/19

If you’ve only heard of one punk band, it’s likely the Ramones. After all, they pretty much wrote the book on the leather-jacketed aesthetic, and the musical delivery of short, sharp, and punchy songs that influenced the genre’s earliest years, and is still heard to this day.Though all of the band’s founding members have long since passed, their lineup wasn’t static for their existence, and in 1989, they were joined by a young bass player named Christopher Joseph Ward. Of course, he was better

If you’ve been listening to this podcast for the last 12 weeks, you’re probably aware I tend to focus on artists who aren’t exactly household names.That much is certainly true for this week’s artist, Lancaster duo The Lovely Eggs. Comprising married couple Holly Ross and David Blackwell, The Lovely Eggs have been going for 18 years now, having played their first gig in New York back in 2006. Since then, phrases like ‘little known’, ‘underrated’, and ‘underground heroes’ have all been bandied about

2024/06/10

If you’re listening to this podcast in Australia, there’s a chance you know The Tea Party. In fact, they’ve probably played more live shows in this country than you’ve had hot dinners. That might sound impressive, but it’s all the more admirable given they’re a Canadian outfit who have been on the scene since 1990.Formed by Jeff Martin, Jeff Burrows, and Stuart Chatwood (who apparently didn’t get the memo regarding his name), The Tea Party made a name for themselves thanks to their unique musician

2024/06/06

The Australian music industry has long had a habit of churning out some great artists who manage to curate an intense and fanatical fanbase around the world thanks to the wonderful music that they create. If anyone understands what it’s like to have a massive fanbase, it’s likely Dave Powys, who has been the guitarist and a multi-instrumentalist with Melbourne indie-folk group The Paper Kites since 2010. If you know The Paper Kites for any reason, it’s possibly due to their 2010 single ‘Bloom’,

2024/06/03

By his own admission, you probably haven’t heard of Kevin Devine, but for almost 30 years now, he’s been a prolific musician who treats making music in much the same way the rest of us treat the need to breathe. That is to say, he deems it to be pretty bloody important.In fact, in addition to a solo career, Kevin’s been a member of bands like Infind, Delusion (who later renamed themselves Miracle Of 86), and Bad Books (which features members of Manchester Orchestra), plus he’s also got a pretty

If you’re someone who has your finger on the pulse of the world of jazz, then Audrey Powne is a name that you might be aware of. If hers isn’t a name you know, well, then you definitely need to listen to today’s podcast.Based in the UK, but originally from Melbourne, Audrey is an artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist who has been aptly described as a creative force carving out a distinctive path in the worlds of future jazz and soul.

For close to a decade now, Ben Gumbleton has been the driving force between the masterful Boo Seeka. From albums like ‘Never Too Soon’ in 2017, which hit number eight on the Aussie charts, 2022’s ‘Between The Head & The Heart’, and this year’s ‘Midnight Highlight’, he’s become renowned as a wonderful musician you need to hear.

After almost 30 years, iconic rockers Grinspoon are still going strong, and following a 12-year gap between records, they’re back with new material. Yesterday saw the announcement of new single ‘Unknown Pretenders’, which will appear on the forthcoming ‘whatever, whatever’, and will be supported by a 45-date tour. Needless to say, these blokes don’t do things by halves. Fresh off the back of this announcement, Phil Jamieson and Pat Davern joined the podcast this week for the inaugural bonus

If I had to put it simply, Human Noise are a band you need to know. Based between Sydney and Melbourne, the four-piece outfit craft a truly unique sound that gets inside your head and takes you over. Last month, they released their latest album, ‘Glitching Colour’, and it’s a truly stellar release. This week, the wonderful Eddie Boyd joins the podcast for an informative chat about the band’s history, their sound, and their newest album.

Since the late ‘90s, Western Australian alt-rockers Eskimo Joe have been tearing up the charts with their iconic tracks. I’m talking albums like ‘Girl’, ‘A Song Is A City’, and ‘Black Fingernails, Red Wine’, and songs like ‘Sweater’, ‘Who Sold Her Out’, and… ‘Black Fingernails, Red Wine’. Needless to say, if you’re looking for an accomplished, celebrated, talented band, look no further than Eskimo Joe.

Sunshine Coast duo The Dreggs have been making some of the smoothest music you’ve ever heard for about seven years now, and most recently, the group have just released their debut 'album, Caught In A Reverie'.As you might expect, it’s a corker of an album, packed full of that breezy, folky, pop-influenced sound upon which they carved out a niche for themselves.

It’s hard to imagine an Australian music scene without Regurgitator. For over three decades now, the trio have been dishing out highly-regarded albums packed full of songs that are as catchy as they are fun; and backing it up with undeniably stellar live shows along the way. Their discography includes the likes of their classic debut ‘Tu-Plang’, the highly-decorated ‘Unit’, and other brilliant records like ‘…art’, ‘Mish Mash’, and more.

2024/04/18

If you’re a fan of punk rock, then I think you would do very well to listen to Hot Water Music. Ever since they formed back in 1994, they’ve spent much of that time writing amazing songs, touring relentlessly, and carving out their own unique niche which has equally seen them considered an enduring pillar of American punk, incredibly influential, and – in the very same breath – wholly underrated.Across 30 years, two breakups, and ten albums, the group have gone from hit new and exciting heights
