  • Episode 119: Justin Young – The Vaccines

    October 22, 2026 · 31 min

    At the start of the 2010s, it felt like it was almost impossible to avoid The Vaccines if you were a fan of indie rock music. Hailing from the streets of West London, The Vaccines first came together at the end of the '00s, but it was in…

  • Episode 118: J Mascis – Dinosaur Jr.

    October 15, 2026 · 25 min

    It's almost impossible to imagine the world of alternative rock without the influence of Dinosaur Jr. Forming in Amherst, Massachusetts back in 1984, the core trio of guitarist and vocalist J Masics, drummer Murph, and bassist Lou Barlow…

  • Episode 117: Sam & Elliott Margin – The Rubens

    October 8, 2026 · 51 min

    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 see)…

  • Bonus Episode 9: Kevin Krauter & Nina Pitchkites – Wishy

    October 6, 2026 · 27 min

    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 Indiana…

  • Episode 116: iOTA

    October 2, 2026 · 39 min

    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 of his life since. A batch of…

  • Episode 115: Ron Hitler-Barassi & Humphrey B. Flaubert – TISM

    September 24, 2026 · 31 min

    I'm going to preface things this week by saying this is going to be far from anything close to a normal podcast. Why? Well, it's because this week's guests are TISM co-founders Ron Hitler-Barassi and Humphrey B. Flaubert. Formed in…

  • Episode 114: Tex Perkins

    September 17, 2026 · 58 min

    I don't think I'm talking out of school when I say that Tex Perkins is a man who wears many hats (and oh my, does he ever look stylish when he does). If you're a casual consumer of music, then band names like Beasts Of Bourbon or The…

  • Episode 113: Josh Law & Ben Sadler – Getdown Services

    September 10, 2026 · 33 min

    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 times before it really clicked with…

  • Episode 112: Harvey Geraghty, Leon Karagic & Itay Shachar – The Lazy Eyes

    September 3, 2026 · 29 min

    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…

  • Episode 111: Everlast

    August 27, 2026 · 34 min

    It's always fascinating to see how songs can catch on and – in some cases – become emblematic of an entire era. For many, the early '90s hip-hop scene is typified by songs like 'Jump Around', the debut single from Los Angeles trio House Of…

  • Episode 110: Juan Alban – Epicure

    August 20, 2026 · 51 min

    Cast your mind back to the early-to-mid-'00s, and it was pretty hard to escape Epicure. That is, if you were listening to triple j, the Ballarat outfit were a hot commodity. Having formed in the mid-'90s, a few formative releases gave way…

  • Episode 109: Eric Michener – Fishboy

    August 13, 2026 · 2 hr 1 min

    When I first started this podcast, I made a wishlist of people I wanted to chat to. I've still not achieved my most-wanted artist (but I came close earlier this year!), but one of those first names I put on that list was none other than…
