    EPISODE 54: IN HEAVEN WITH HANDS LIKE HOUSES

    In this episode I catch up with new Hands Like Houses vocalist, Josh Raven, post-recovery and pre-tour for his first live shows with the band. This might just be my favourite episode yet, as another bucket-list item checked off! We talk all things HLH, including joining the band and transitioning between projects, vocal techniques, moving into new themes and musical styles, collaborating with old and new friends, Josh’s current bookworm reads, and of course preparing for the upcoming tour (starting this week!) and his top 3 current Aussie artists.

    EPISODE 53: Impressive Music Moves with Impressed Recordings

    I caught up with Luke Bevans, founder of Impressed Recordings, and - through a handful of technical difficulties - we caught up about all things Aussie music and vinyl. We chat about Luke's move from Apple and Universal to his own independent record label, the resurgence of vinyl, industry sustainability and collaboration, upcoming plans, and of course, his current top Aussie artists. Be sure to check out Impressed Recordings, as well as the upcoming Record Store Day special releases on April 20! You’ll need to visit your local record store IRL to snap up what’s on offer, so make sure to put it in your calendar!

    EPISODE 52: Allison Watters And Why Women Are The PULSE Of The Industry

    Spearheaded by Melbourne/Naarm-based creative Allison Watters, the DIY independent 'zine PULSE makes a comeback this year for PULSE: Issue 2. In what might be one of my favourite episodes/conversations to date, I chatted with Allison about all things PULSE, and pick her brain about her experience entering the heavy music and media industry, and why its so important to push for representation and support of non-men in the industry.

    EPISODE 51: The Millennials are (somehow) Happy and Wholesome with The Snuts

    I got to chat with Callum and Jack from The Snuts all the way over in Glasgow, ahead of their first independent album on their fresh record label 'Happy Artist Records'. 'Millennials' is a content and carefree leap away from their previous album - and it's so dang happy I might cry (in a good way).

    EPISODE 50: Caught In The STORM - Norway’s Newest Metalcore Sensation

    I catch up with Leo Davadi Sundli, AKA STORM, ahead of his slot with Download UK in June this year. The audio for this episode is a little iffy (good ol' Zoom Calls), but at just 15 years old STORM is smashing expectations and we're psyched to see where he goes.

    EPISODE 49: BTS with Heavy Music Film Heavyweights Ed Reiss and Todd Farley

    Back with the second ever 2024 episode in the last month of the year - but we’re here! In this one I got to chat to Ed and Todd who’ve directed and produced a huge list of incredible projects with names including Gerard Way, The Veronicas, I Prevail, Fender, Northlane (and a bunch of early days Backbeat guests including Warwick Hughes from our FIRST guest episode, and Jess and Jay from Episode 5!). I was lucky enough to be involved with the latest Northlane music video shoot for ‘Dante’, where I connected with the guys and we managed to squeeze a near-2-hour episode into what has been a crazy past couple of weeks! We go over video production and directing, lessons learned over their years in the industry, with a sprinkling of mental health and personal wellbeing, and ofcourse their current Aussie favourites.

    EPISODE 48: ORLA GARTLAND WANTS TO KISS UR FACE FOREVER

    Back with a new episode for the first time in a YEAR. Oops. In this one I’m chatting to someone who I’m personally a huge fan of, while also being my first episode back in a LONG time, and my first international guest (as older listeners of this podcast and platform has previously been solely focussed on Australian music and artists). Safe to say I’m excited for this one. On what is possibly the longest distance zoom call I’ve ever done, I’m here with Orla Gartland!

    EPISODE 47 (PART 2): SOME HEARD TROUBLE

    I caught up with The Last Martyr and Some Heard Trouble at Freeza and Yo Bendigo’s ‘BendiGLOW’ Youth Fest in September for my first FACE TO FACE interviews in over a year and a half (!!!). Part 2 with Some Heard Trouble is finally HERE!
