When then-triple j breakfast hosts Alex Dyson and Matt Okine decided to surprise Melbourne singer-songwriter Gretta Ray with news she'd won a competition through the station's Unearthed initiative, they did not head to her place of work. Nor did they go to her place of residence. Instead, they ended up at Princes Hill Secondary College, where Ray was a student. A prodigious singer and budding songwriter, Ray could not have predicted the ensuing years of national and international touring, millions of streams and a steady ascent to the top of Australian pop's echelon. Now barely in her 20s, a debut studio album awaits - but not before a quick Bar Bands debrief on her choral background, conquering festivals, genre code switches and meeting her heroes. Gretta Ray's debut album Begin to Look Around arrives August 27 via Ballarat/EMI Music Australia. Special thanks to Mariam Dib. Recorded by David James Young and Gretta Louise Ray. Produced and edited by David James Young.

Lonely and dreaming on the west coast, Jono Mata and Sam Blitvitch both aspired to be the guitar heroes they saw on their screens at an impressionable age. With Sly Withers - both men's first in-earnest band - they were able to achieve something far greater. With their open, honest every-man take on pub rock and pop-punk, the band quickly carved a niche that soon became bigger than either could have anticipated. With the release of their second studio album Gardens, the band find themselves among the top of the food chain in Australian rock - which is quite the feat for a band that was barely out of high school when it started. Reflecting on their story over a drink on the patio of a Newtown Airbnb, Mata and Blitvich connect the dots to explain how a fledgling guitar band ended up on the national airwaves and touring the country with Amy Shark. Gardens is out now via Dew Process. Special thanks to Amy Simmons, Deathproof PR, Nathan Wood, Dew Process and Skinny O'Leary. Produced and edited by Paul McWhirter.

Much like the inner rings of a cut-open tree, there are a surprising degree of layers to Sydney trio STUMPS. Although they boast a confident, extroverted frontman in Kyle Fisher, he had never actually even so much as sang a note on stage prior to the band's formation in the late 2010s. Their rhythm section, meanwhile - bassist Merrick Powell & drummer Jonathan Dolan - had never played indie-rock before; instead, their bread and butter was hardcore punk matinees - making songs to literally scream at the sun in scene stalwarts Perspectives. So, how did all three end up making jaunty post-punk-revival-revival indie-disco? Gather round, and we'll tell you a tale. Special thanks to Kyle Fisher, Pat O'Hara, Beau Somers and The Lansdowne Hotel. Produced and edited by Paul McWhirter. Additional editing by David James Young.

Charlene Bailey has lived a life of reintroductions. A promising country upstart in the heart of Tamworth, the singer-songwriter got her start as a child prodigy in a family band. She later emerged as a prospective indie-pop darling in the big smoke of Sydney and Los Angeles, helming Tigertown for some prosperous but simultaneously tumultuous years. These days, folks know her as Charlie Collins - a big-voiced, big-hearted and utterly charming artist that sonically composes her past and present to create something well worth investing in for the future. With two new songs out in the world - one of which features her childhood hero Kasey Chambers - it felt opportune to saddle up next to Ms. Collins and her two playful cats in her Sydney abode, discussing both the story so far and what we can expect going ahead. Charlie's new singles "Fuck It" and "Honey Can We Run Away" are out now via Island Records. Produced and edited by Paul McWhirter. Additional editing by David James Young.

Growing up outside of Cologne, Anika Ostendorf had lofty but headstrong ambitions to get into the world of music. She ended up there, but not in the way her younger self may have initially expected. As Hachiku, Ostendorf has forged a career in the indie pop world that has seen her charming, kitschy indie-pop win over audiences on both a local and international scale - as well as tours alongside the likes of Courtney Barnett, The Breeders and Jose Gonzalez. Before a headlining show at Petersham Bowling Club, she discussed the ins and outs of the Ford family band, sleeping in your car on tour and why her dad still has 800 copies of her first CD. Hachiku's debut album I'll Probably Be Asleep is out now.

There are few intergenerational figures in a music scene that sees bands come and go on a weekly basis. Chief among those that are, however, are Al Grigg and Tom Wallace. Best friends since college, the pair first played together as part of 2000s indie wunderkinds Red Riders, before transferring their guitar-loving and hook-wielding expertise over to the garage-rock world with Palms circa 2011. Here, they lay out their life in music, both on and off the road, on the line in their most in-depth interview to date. Whether you came up circa the Hopetoun or circa the Oxford Art Factory, there's some long lines down these palms well worth tracing. Intensity Sunshine is out now via Ivy League/Mushroom.

It's an increasingly-common modern story. A project born out of a bedroom, a dorm room, a laptop, a loose collection of ideas, shifts from the micro to the macro. Few of these stories, however, have carved out such an intense niche as Dylan Baldi's noise-rock vehicle Cloud Nothings. Initially serving up indie pop with a sunny disposition, the band nosedived into Steve Albini-approved dissonance on 2012's Attack on Memory and never looked back. A prolific outfit and a rough-and-tumble live must-see, Cloud Nothings continue to adapt and evolve as a full-band assault. Following the release of their most recent album, The Shadow I Remember, Baldi spoke to us from his Philadelphia home about the band's ever-continuing and endlessly-intriguing story. The Shadow I Remember is out now via Carpark Records. Download, stream and purchase the band's complete discography - including subscriber exclusives - at Cloud Nothings' Bandcamp: http://cloudnothings.bandcamp.com Special thanks to Rhiannon Cook and Positive Feedback.

Huck Hastings is a relatively new name on the Australian music scene, although the Sydney-based singer-songwriter has had his eyes on the stage well before his current solo iteration. Born into a pub-rock heritage, Hastings eventually found a niche within the indie-rock spectrum and has carved that into a heartfelt and endearing debut album, Cheers to Progress. Ahead of its release, he spoke candidly about his progression through high-school rock band to solo troubadour before eventually striking a balance between the two. Cheers to Progress is out now. Stream, download and purchase the album here: https://huckhastings.bandcamp.com/album/cheers-to-progress Huck will launch the album tonight at the Darlinghurst Theatre Company.

Good Evans, it's a crossover! A week on from David featuring on Kevin Mitchell's Good Evans, It's A Bobcast!, the Jebediah frontman and solo singer-songwriter under the Bob Evans moniker had the tables turned on him. We traverse decades in just under an hour, ranging from high-school dances to the Big Day Out and a myriad of unexpected places in-between. After 25 years in the game, Kev isn't one to settle into the nostalgia market - he still has a lot to prove, and he's happy to talk through the ins and outs of his various performance outlets to explain why that is. Bob Evans' new album Tomorrowland arrives April 6. Preorder the album, and listen to David's episode of Good Evans at the official Bob Evans website: www.bobevans.com.au Recorded by David James Young and Kevin Mitchell.

I sat down with Robyn Oxley to talk about the criminal justice and need for abolition in the lands now called Australia. We talk about her journey into and with abolition, why community resourcing and accountability make so much more sense, how prisons simply do not achieve what they purport to achieve (especially in terms of rehabilitation), and the racism and colonial violence that runs all the way through the system – a violence that is entirely in keeping with the colonial project that has wrought trauma, displacement, and death on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples since British invasion.Read Robyn’s great introduction on prison abolition and defunding the police here.Read an excellent review she wrote that explores decolonization, prisons, and the problem of not asking the broader questions here Robyn Oxley is a Tharawal woman and has family connections to Yorta Yorta. Robyn is an activist and a lecturer at Western Sydney University in Criminology. Her field is in the space of the criminal justice system and Aboriginal rights to self-determination. Her work primarily focuses on human rights, social justice, systemic racism, prison abolition, defunding police and improving outcomes of Aboriginal people in relation to the Australian legal system.

You all know the story by now. Formed in 1997, megastars by 2000, whatever-happened-tos by 2004, has-beens by 2006, comeback kids by 2016 - and, finally, comeback kids again in 2020. Of course, those are just the touchstones - in truth, there's way more to The Avalanches' story than you might expect. It starts in a fruit shop, it heads up to country Victoria, through to the suburban sharehouses of Melbourne and onto a festival stage in Barcelona. Keyboardist, producer and founding member Tony Di Blasi has seen it all - and he's ready to get into the gory details of how The Avalanches went to hell and back to secure their status as all-time greats. The Avalanches' new album We Will Always Love You is out now.

It's rare to be simultaneously a decade-plus performance veteran and also still under the age of 30, and yet Imogen Clark happily exists within that Venn diagram. This ain't no child-star operation, either - really, this Blue Mountains native is just getting started. Having toured internationally, supported Shania Twain and even navigated a global pandemic to get her unique blend of country, rock and pop out to the world, Clark is a rare firebrand - and if you're not familiar already, make it a priority to rectify that. Imogen Clark's First Annual Holiday Hootenanny takes place at the Factory Theatre on December 9.

They're one of the most distinctive figures in the history of Australian rock music - not least of all because their frontman is nearly seven foot tall. They're a platinum-selling Hottest 100 runner-up with decades of sold-out theatres to their name, but they're also one of the more vulnerable and emotively-striking bands this country has produced. There's never been a band quite like Something for Kate before - and it's likely there never will be. From their music room in their suburban Melbourne home, vocalist/guitarist Paul Dempsey and bassist Stephanie Ashworth share the finer details of their lives in music - both together and apart. Something for Kate's new album The Modern Medieval is out now.

After a super-fun first round, the late crowd shuffled in for a second round of Bar Bands banter. This time around, it was a celebration of some of David's formative years in front of the stage and listening in his bedroom. This included Hurstville's own Patrick Matthews - founding member of The Vines and bassist of Youth Group - as well as Children Collide frontman Johnny Mackay and ARIA-award winning veteran vocalist Sarah Blasko. There's a lot of history here - some well-remembered, others best forgotten. It's all a lot of fun, though. Besides, arguably no other podcast this year will take you from lunch at Warren Ellis' house to The Big Banana to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Special thanks to Kristy Pinder, Betty Fink, Chris Sheppard and Roly Elias. Recorded live at The Vanguard in Sydney on October 25, 2020. Mixed and engineered live by Anieke Robinson.

On the eve of Bar Bands' fifth birthday* (*not really) and David's 30th* (*also not really), a diverse but elite crew of Australian musicians descended upon The Vanguard in Sydney for a night of storytelling, song-sharing and top-tier banter. This is the first of two episodes recorded that night, which sees the inimitable Alex the Astronaut, L-FRESH the LION and Dear Seattle's Brae Fisher coming together for a wholly unique and entertaining panel. Criss-crossing across their entire respective careers, we find plenty of intersections along the way - as well as plenty of laughs.

Are you all ready? Are you ready? Get set, let's go. We're heading on a journey through the career of one of Australia's most unique and powerful voices - the kind that can elicit tears as quickly as it can shatter glass. Although physically locked down (at the time) in Melbourne, her stories span across the globe - from bikie bars in Tasmania to behind a golden mask on television. Kate Miller-Heidke has taken on pop charts, festival stages, musical theatre, the opera and just about every dive in the Valley you can think of - and she's not done, either, as her fifth studio album is testament to.  Kate Miller-Heidke's new album Child in Reverse is out now. She will perform at Brisbane's Fortitude Music Hall on November 20 and 24. Thanks to Mariam Dib and EMI Music Australia.

Imagine an island within an island. Pretty isolated, right? That was life for a young Maddy Jane, whose connection to music was her ticket to the world. Now a resident on the mainland - Wollongong, specifically - Maddy's brand of heartfelt jangly indie-rock has afforded her a myriad of unbelievable opportunities. From arena openers, to national tours, to her very own prom night, Maddy has taken it all on - and that was all before her album even came out. Now, with her album out and (at long last) some shows to play, Maddy is ready to share her story - from humble public-school beginnings to chumming it up with Harry Styles. Tickets for All My Friends Are in Bar Bands' Fifth Birthday are almost gone - less than 20 for the early show, less than 30 for the late. Join us at The Vanguard on October 25!

Don't let the electric guitar and the sultry singer-songwriter stuff fool you - Lisa Caruso didn't always dream of glamourous indie rock & roll. As a child she was an aspirational pop star, which in turn gave her the confidence needed to pick up the guitar and see where it took her. Where it's taken her is all the way to her debut album, In Feelings, which has been several years in the making across several continents. For now, though, we're grounded in Sydney's inner west on a rainy Friday afternoon - why not talk PJ Harvey, Destiny's Child, headset mics and (literally) shitty situations? Lisa's debut album In Feelings is out now. Tickets for All My Friends Are in Bar Bands' Fifth Birthday are 50% sold for the early show. Join us at The Vanguard on October 25!

Phil Stack has hauled his trusty double bass into just about every RSL, pub, club, theatre and arena you can think of. Abby Dobson has sung all the way from tiny restaurants in Europe to the open air of The Domain in Sydney. They've both managed to notch songs of theirs into the Australian psyche – Phil with “In the Summertime” as part of Thirsty Merc, Abby with “Even When I'm Sleeping” as part of Leonardo's Bride. After all these years, however, both still have an insatiable love of performing – indeed, it's what has brought them together for this very chat in the first place. Ahead of Phil's album launch show in Sydney – where Abby will support – the two spoke openly about lugging PAs, surviving grunge, Paris syndrome and how hindsight in 2020 is still 20/20. Catch Phil and Abby playing live at Mary's Underground in Sydney on Thursday October 15.

Fanny Lumsden is a household name - provided, of course, that your house is located at least 50kms or so from the nearest city. She's at the helm of the Country Halls tour, which has seen her perform from coast to coast and plenty of spots in-between alongside her husband Dan and their trusty caravan. Of course, that was until this year - Lumsden's plans for her third album Fallow were put on hold back in March, as were the world's. Fear not, though - from her scenic Tooma home, there were still plenty of stories to be shared across an unconventional, endearing career.  Thanks to Red Dirt Road Productions, Dan Stanley, Wally, El Davros and Paul McWhirter.

Carly speaks with Thursday Breakfast’s own Scheherazade Bloul about Omar Radi, a Moroccan journalist who has recently been jailed on a series of charges including espionage. Omar is an award-winning investigative journalist and human rights activist who frequently publishes articles about land grabs by speculators and the corruption within Moroccan officials. Omar's imprisonment comes after an investigation by Amnesty International which found that his phone was infected with NSO Pegasus software - Israeli spyware that last year was used illegally against journalists, dissidents and campaigners around the world.  We return to Thursday Breakfast's poetry and writing segment. This week we have readings by two poets.

Knocked Loose are just what the Colonel ordered: A fresh batch of Kentucky-fried, scorched-earth, brutal-beatdown hardcore to throw bodies off stages to. The band's menacing and unrepentant approach to the genre has cemented them as heavyweights despite only being two albums and a handful of years in. Hell, even Corey Taylor has championed them as the future of heavy music. How did these southern boys send their trajectory skyward? Prior to a show in Newcastle with Jesus Piece, vocalist Bryan Garris and drummer Kevin "Pacsun" Kaine broke down their own personal musical histories and how they inevitably intertwined within a small town that they turned into a global village for hardcore.

Growing up in the concrete slabs of the Gold Coast, you can't always get what you want. It wasn't until Kate Cooper moved up north to Brisbane that she was truly able to get some degree of satisfaction. A mid-2000s stint at the helm of Iron On turned her into one of the country's cult indie darlings, which blossomed to a global scale with her next band, An Horse. Things were very very good for awhile there, but things also got very very real. Cooper doesn't hold anything back in discussing the highs and lows of her career at the tail-end of a national An Horse tour back in late February.

With a blend of psychedelia, pop, folk, jangle, indie, shoegaze and rock & roll, RAT!Hammock have assembled and curated a sound that is irresistible and wholly endearing. It's made them a lot of friends and fans along the way, which is always a plus - but this band, like most their age, started out with no loftier ambitions in mind. They're suburban kids, ranging from aspiring metalheads to baby Elvis impersonators. How exactly did they all end up in Brisbane, on a co-headlining tour with Horror My Friend and sold-out signs on the door? It's a long story. A fun one, too. Thankfully, there was some dude with a microphone there to document the entire thing. Thanks to Rad Management, the Black Bear Lodge and Paul McWhirter.

Fresh out of rock & roll high school, LA's Starcrawler wasted little time in delivering their punchy blend of glam, punk and rock & roll to an unsuspecting but entirely appreciative audience. It's turned their late teens and early 20s into a dazzling melee of sold-out shows and jaw-dropping accomplishments, receiving recognition from industry giants like Dave Grohl and Sir Elton John along the way. In January 2020, Starcrawler came to Australia for the very first time. In-between shows, they took a half-hour of power out of their busy schedule to elaborate on how this slap-dash batch of wiry teen rockers evolved into one of their city's most talked-about rock bands.

It wouldn't matter if Newton Faulkner had one hit or not - he'd still be a wonder. Whether it's his inventive and dizzying guitar playing or his stirring, emotive voice, Faulkner has remained one of the more charming and entertaining prospects of the singer-songwriter circuit - both in his native UK and abroad. He's spent most of the last decade working on his terms, outside of the structure of major labels and primarily touring with little more than a pedal board and his tour manager - who also happens to be his sister. What can we learn from the freewheelin' Newton Faulker? Quite a lot, as it turns out. From teenage punk bands to sold-out theatres, there's not much this ginger ninja hasn't done. Newton's new EP 'Chapter I - I Can Pretend' is out now via Battenberg Records.

What started in a bedroom on the south coast of New South Wales has now spread its wings and traversed the country - singing songs, sharing stories and exploring a wide spectrum of musical ideas. Sean Conran was synonymous with Obscura Hail from his teens and well into his 20s before the moniker expanded to include other people. In 2019, this included bassist/vocalist Tamara Issa and drummer/percussionist Stevie West - and it was this line-up that created the project's most recent effort, the Zero EP. While on a national tour in support of it back in November 2019, the trio shared tales from across parks in Nowra, rough nights in Bendigo and crab shacks in outer-suburban Melbourne.

Conroy Ross, Paul Minor and Tomy Thisdale grew up in small-town Canada, dreaming of the west coast. Each found their way to music in a similar fashion, and soon enough they ended up in a tight-knit music community exploring their love of rock music in all its shapes and forms. Having originally formed The Carbons with a different lineup, Tomy first recruited Paul and then Conroy to be a part of the band - and now, with well over a year of experience playing together, The Carbons have their sights set on the next level. In November 2019, the trio toured Australia for the very first time. In-between dates at the Australian Music Week conference, the band held court upstairs at the Town Hall Hotel and shared tales from ramshackle pubs, makeshift US jaunts and Montreal assholes.

Canada's Cancer Bats never formed out of any grand ambitions to change the world - indeed, it began as little more than a side project for Liam Cormier and Scott Middleton. Even so, the next 15 years saw the riff-loving Canucks take their love of punk, hardcore and rock & roll to a global stage. No matter what has come their way, the band has made a point to never lose sight of their roots. They've also made a point of never losing their sense of humour - and this episode will happily testify to that. In October 2019, Cancer Bats ran ruckus on Bar Bands before a freezing-cold show with Totally Unicorn in the nation's capitol, Canberra. Cormier and bassist Jaye Schwarzer turned the podcast into their playhouse, while simultaneously offering up informative history of the early 2000s Canadian hardcore scene. Equal parts factual and funny - what's not to love?

There was never a universe in which such a strange band with such a strange sound and an unmentionable name would be successful. Except, of course, this one. A wholly DIY freak-folk expedition, Crywank have been streamed millions of times and faced a fervent cult fanbase wherever they would show their faces. How exactly did two working-class English punks make such a considerable dent? Vocalist/guitarist James Clayton and drummer Dan Watson (with special guest melodica player Joel Hernandez) offered up a guided tour before their last-ever Sydney show at the Red Rattler theatre towards the end of 2019. Expect ongoing tales of musical boxes, travel disasters and a testicular scare in the midst of an emotional rollercoaster. Yes, all of those stories are real.

Sasami Ashworth grew up as a quiet achiever. She pursued music only on her own terms, and even when she ended up in a touring band it was as a side player. It's only in the last 18 months that Sasami has finally emerged in the spotlight as a singer-songwriter in her own right. Her debut self-titled album is a thing of vulnerability and resplendent indie-rock beauty, indebted to the likes of Liz Phair and The Breeders and yet quintessential enough to forge its own identity. In November 2019, Sasami arrived in Australia for her second visit and her first national support in support of Spacey Jane. Before a show in Wollongong, Ashworth (and perhaps a special guest) spoke openly about piano lessons, touring with Cherry Glazerr and meeting Debbie Harry.

Damian Abraham never wanted to be in a band or be involved with music above simply appreciating it. Whatever happenstance allowed it to happen, however, the man who would later become known as Pink Eyes eventually evolved into one of the scene's most passionate creatives. Whether he's at the helm of Fucked Up, hosting his own podcast or sharing his love of wrestling and weed to a global audience, Damian lives and breathes what he loves. We spoke to the man himself while Fucked Up were touring Australia in October of 2019, discussing everything from Toronto hardcore, sustaining a band over 18 years and getting wailed in the balls at shows.Sliding Doors Turned Out a Punk Thanks to Samantha Clode, Frontier Touring, The Gasometer, Damian Abraham and Adam Buncher.

Mia Dyson, Liz Stringer and Jen Cloher first joined forces in 2013 after nearly a decade of friendship and travelling up and down the east coast together. Between the three of them are ARIA nominations, sold-out shows and a set in just about every bar and club around the country - and yet, when they convened as Dyson Stringer Cloher, they'd never felt stronger. Over a few chai teas in their Zetland hotel, each women talked through their own story and shared thoughts on fame, fortune, the in-between, rude punters and unforgettable nights both together and alone.

Amanda Palmer has never been the kind of artist that bows to the status quo. Existing outside the conventions of rock, folk, punk and cabaret, she's been making music that provokes, intrigues and entertains for some 20 years now. Whether it's part of The Dresden Dolls, the Grand Theft Orchestra or under her own name, Palmer has always been creating and performing. It's not come without its controversies, but every setback has allowed her to grow, adapt and evolve. It's lead to her third solo album, , which is her most exhaustive and personal collection yet. In the midst of an extensive Australian tour, Palmer spoke at length about her origins as a child of the 80s and teen of the 90s, before kicking into the 21st century with a ferocity and unbridled ambition.There Will Be No Intermission Amanda will be on tour until the end of February.

Growing up amidst the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, Cleo Tucker and Harmony Tividad found both a lifeline and an escape through music. Encouraged by their families and their peers, they each kicked around teenage garage-rock outfits before forging their own path as Girlpool. With the release of their debut album, 2015's , the duo clicked on an international level and ended up with a cult following for their unique, folk-inspired take on indie rock. More albums and tours have followed, the most recent being 2019's . After a show in Wollongong and before a show in Sydney, Cleo and Harmony gave a whirlwind tour of their fascinating lives up to this moment.Before the World Was BigWhat Chaos is Imaginary Thanks to Cat Clarke, Cooking Vinyl Australia, Harmony Tividad, the Boat Harbour Motel and Adam Buncher.

As a scrawny little teen playing Red Hot Chili Peppers covers, a young June Jones could have never seen the person that she'd end up becoming. In her late 20s, she now stands as one of the country's most promising and captivating singer-songwriters, thanks to both her solo debut as well as two modern-classic LPs with previous band Two Steps On The Water. In September 2019, Jones was part of a national tour in support of Seeker Lover Keeper. Prior to a show at the Heritage Hotel in Bulli, she spoke candidly and openly about how her bedroom ambitions ultimately translated into a life on the stage.Diana June Jones' is out now.Diana Stream, download and purchase the vinyl via June's Bandcamp: https://junejones.bandcamp.com/ Thanks to June Jones, the Heritage Hotel and Adam Buncher.

They may be tiny dots on an endless timeline, but La Dispute have made their time together count. Over 15 years and four studio albums, plus a dozen EPs and countless tours, the band's unique and poetic take on post-hardcore has endeared them to a global audience. Theirs is the definition of a cult following - they may not pack arenas, but everyone at a La Dispute show will scream every last word right back in the band's face. One of the band's key turning points was coming to Australia for a completely DIY national tour back in 2009, and the country has become a second home for the band - quite literally in drummer Brad Vander Lugt's case, as he now lives on the Sunshine Coast with his family. Both he and vocalist Jordan Dreyer - not only cousins, but the founding members of the band - tracked the band's history before one of the final stops on their most recent tour, at the Cambridge Hotel in Newcastle.

From the depths of small-town Oklahoma, garage rockers Broncho (rhymes with 'poncho') have spent the 2010s crafting a compelling and unique niche within their genre. It's a band unlike anything its members have worked on in the past, whose origins range from sibling rock duos to bedroom acoustic projects. On the back of their fourth album, Bad Behaviour, Broncho toured Australia for the first time in June in support of previous guests of the show Methyl Ethel. Prior to doors, we spoke with Ryan, Penny and Nathan from the band about what they've been able to achieve as a part of Broncho - and where it might take them next.

On paper, the two members of Cry Club couldn't be more different. Guitarist Jono Tooke, for instance, has been playing in bands for over a decade despite not even being 30 yet - from big-swinging indie to freaky math-metal and back. Vocalist Heather Riley, on the other hand, has never been in a band before. Their mind was always on the theatre (dahling), and that's where it would have stayed had they not been saddled up next to Jono on a flight. Since their first show at the start of 2018, Cry Club have achieved an unbelievable amount of things - just the day before this went live, they were revealed as the number-one most-played artist on triple j Unearthed radio. That's just the tip of the iceberg, too - we get into EVERYTHING on this bumper edition of .Bar Bands Cry Club head out on the "Robert Smith" tour this January.

The team also unpacks the issues of unequal access between states in the Global North and Global South. Our question is: if we genuinely wish to dismantle the imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist patriarchy (a term coined by Bell Hooks), can this actually be done by a regime that is driven by western states and that homogenises the human experience?7.45 am Zoya chats to Sam Elkin, Victoria’s first dedicated LGBTIQ outreach lawyer about the queer rights movement and whether human rights frameworks provide protections for trans and gender diverse people in Australia 8.00 am George talks to Dr Niro Kandasamy,  a Tamil studies researcher at the University of Melbourne about her research on women with disabilities in Sri Lanak, the universality of human rights, and the importance of access to available legal mechanisms 8.15 am Anya chats to Robyn Oxley, proud Tharawal woman and assistant lecturer at the Monash Criminology department, about what an effective human rights framework looks like for Aboriginal people and how self-determination fits into it, and how such a framework clashes with the ideas of prisons and incarceration  Songssong: Solo le Pido a Dios - this song is about the military dictatorship in Argentinaartist: Mercedes Sosa song: Ain't Got No, I Got Lifeartist: Nina Simone song: Arrabi al Arabe  Artist: Mariem Hassan song: Yaz Gazeteci Yaz  Artist: Selda Bağcan  

Georgia Mooney was a shy, awkward kid with Backstreet Boys posters on her wall and a dream of one day being a singer. Not only has she become one of the most celebrated folk artists in the country as a part of All Our Exes Live In Texas, she's even been able to perform alongside her childhood crushes - and plenty of others where that came from. The multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter's journey stretches from northern Sydney to Perth and all the way across to foggy London town. Over a coffee in Newtown, Georgia shares how her fascination with music lead from clearing the family home just so she could sing all the way to hosting her own songwriters' circle.

Are they the most punk band in power-pop or the most power-pop band in punk? Really, it doesn't matter - any way you cut it, Joyce Manor have been one of the most consistent and engaging bands in rock throughout the 2010s. Never quite settling, and constantly switching things up, the band has found a cult following that's lead to sold-out shows and deafening sing-alongs in just about every corner of the planet. Not that this kind of ambition was realised by a young Barry Johnson, however - starting out as a young punk in Op Ivy worship bands, he could have never forseen how his career would go down. Hell, he didn't even envision having career. Prior to a show at Sydney's Oxford Art Factory, Johnson raced through his musical upbringing and his coming of age right through to where the band stands in the present tense.a Special thanks to Cat Clarke, Cooking Vinyl Australia, the Oxford Art Factory and Adam Buncher.

A quiet kid from suburban Adelaide, Sione Teumohenga always kept their passion for music private and locked away. Bit by bit and song by song, however, saw them unravel that shyness and insecurity to ultimately reveal a blooming, blossoming and creative songwriter. The last few years has seen Teumohenga at the helm of Lonelyspeck, creating some of the most unique and immersive experimental/electronic music that this country - or indeed any country - has to offer. Through Lonelyspeck, Teumohenga has gotten to play Laneway Festival, collaborate with Allday and even open for The Dillinger Escape Plan - and they're far from finished, too. Back in June during a visit to Sydney, Teumohenga had a chat out the front of a busy Surry Hills cafe and gave a quick guided tour through nu-metal discoveries, high-school bands and opening up to Ableton. Lonelyspeck's new EP is out November 15 via Good Manners Records.Abyssal Body Lonelyspeck will be opening for Baths on November 19 in Melbourne and November 20 in Sydney.

The sun is out, the guitars are plugged in and the gates are open... Yours & Owls Festival is a go for yet another year. For the fourth year in a row, stuck the mic into the face of some of the festival's biggest names to spin a few quick yarns about the first show, worst show and best show that these artists have ever played. This year, we went around the horn with Vera Blue, Odette, Sneaky Sound System, Caitlin and Nick from West Thebarton, Ruel, Evan and James and Griff from WAAX, Matt from Love Fame Tragedy/The Wombats, Rivals from Gravel Pit, Genesis Owusu and Spacey Jane. Strap in, because this is a wild ride with some of the craziest, funniest stories ever told on this podcast.All My Friends Are in Bar Bands A huge thank you to Shari Hindmarsh, Stacey Piggott, Parisse Toledo, Sheri Young, Ben Tillman, Adam Smith, Yours & Owls, Secret Service PR, the entire stage crew, all the legendary photogs and punters and Adam Buncher.

In 2005, Karnivool became an overnight success story in Australian heavy music - and all it took was nearly a decade of pushing the band to get there. Nearly 15 years on, the Perth five-piece have lost none of their drive or motivation - even if we don't hear new music for years at a time. There's a method to the madness, and the band's approach to progressive alt-metal has kept them in consistent demand as a live band both nationally and internationally. In-between all of that, there's been other bands, burnout, creative sparks and hitting sheep with their van - and none of it got left out when vocalist Ian Kenny and bassist Jon Stockman gave the Vool the treatment before a show in Wollongong back in June.Bar Bands Special thanks to Bec Reato, Deathproof PR, the University of Wollongong and Adam Buncher.

The big-time was never meant for a band like Foxing. They grew up on the outskirts of any real music scene in St. Louis, Missouri, often having to venture outwards or create their own scene and community from within. It's with this, however, that Foxing have become cult heroes. While a typical show from the band won't be filling out big theatres or arenas, everyone in attendance is devoted to the band's passionate and inventive take on emo-revival indie-rock. Look no further than their maiden voyage to Australia as living proof of this, as the band played to tiny, packed rooms full of screaming, adoring fans. In-between those, lead vocalist Conor Murphy and guitarist Eric Hudson sat around a kitchen table in their Sydney hotel suite to give their entire musical careers the treatment.Bar Bands Special thanks to Cat Clarke, Renee Rudolf, Cooking Vinyl Australia, XIII Touring and Adam Buncher.

Warehouses, dive bars, boats... if there's a PA set up somewhere in New Zealand, there's a good chance Miss June have rocked it and then trashed the place. As one of the country's most sought-after live acts, the Auckland-based quartet have put in the hard yards on songs that are equal parts noisy, hooky and defiant - all before even so much as putting out their debut album. Today, that all changes - their debut album is finally here, and it's well worth the wait. Prior to all of that, however, lead vocalist Annabelle Lidell and guitarist Jun Park pulled up some stools prior to a gig in Canberra supporting Ruby Fields. Through fits of giggles and a half-dozen tangents, we spoke of the tight-knit NZ music community, the hotspots of the islands and how to handle a crowd that has no idea who you are. is out today via Frenchkiss Records.Bad Luck Party Catch Miss June live next week in Australia: September 11 - The Vanguard, Sydney w/ Georgia June and Good PashSeptember 12 - Croxton Bandroom, Melbourne w/ Dune Rats and West ThebartonSeptember 13 - Metro Theatre, Sydney w/ Dune Rats and West ThebartonSeptember 14 - The Triffid, Brisbane w/ Dune Rats and West Thebarton Special thanks to Rachel-Jones Williams, Sony Music Australia, Frenchkiss Records, the University of Canberra and Evan Birtwell.

He's the new old guy on the block. The overnight success story with the 20-year career. He's the guy indie kids of multiple generations love - and the guy Duran Duran loved to hate. He's SPOD, baby - and when he's at home, they call him Brent Griffin. It's safe to say that no-one has had quite the same trajectory in the world of music - from a simple Hills District kid discovering hip-hop, to 2000s festival favourite, right up to 2010s cult figure and coffee reporter. With an hour to spare in an increasingly loud Sydney pub on a Saturday afternoon, the man behind the myth and the legend sets the story straight. is out now via Rice is Nice Records.Adult Fantasy Stream and download the album, and buy the TV special on VHS, via Spod's Bandcamp: https://spod.bandcamp.com/album/adult-fantasy Special thanks to Julia Wilson, Rice is Nice, the Royal Albert Hotel, Viv and Adam Buncher.

The world of Charly Bliss is a constantly evolving one. It's bunny-moshing and sugar-rushes one moment, slow-dances and sombre synths the next. Across two albums, it's made them one of the most captivating new bands on the indie-rock circuit - and in July of 2019, it was finally Australia's turn to experience this exceptional band in the flesh. Over a couple of jetlagged drinks in Sydney, frontwoman Eva Hendricks and guitarist Spencer Fox let loose on everything from the art of percussion to their best-forgotten nu-folk project. If you're young enough, come and feel the love. Special thanks to Uda Widanapathirana, Inertia [PIAS], the Courthouse Hotel and Adam Buncher.

Behind every great solo performer, there is a killer session musician bringing their work to life. Just ask Dave Jenkins, Jr. - after all, he's made a career out of it. From Andy Bull to Reece Mastin, Vera Blue to Kirin J. Callinan all the way up to childhood hero Daniel Johns, the multi-instrumentalist has found himself either behind the kit or serving as the musical director for an impressive bevvy of names. In 2019, he's officially stepping out on his own under the moniker of Not A Boy's Name. So, how did we get here? With nearly a decade of history between us, we sat down with Dave at Forbes Street Studios in Woolloomooloo (AKA Sheep Dunny Cow Dunny) to see how an ambitious kid from the central coast dropped out of music and almost quit the game entirely before bouncing back in the most unexpected way.

This week's story is bittersweet. We're celebrating the musical journey of an incredibly talented young man, whose honest and emotive work was bolstered by a fruitful and prosperous DIY community after other parts of the country - and even the world - ignored him. Azim Zain is a Malaysian-born singer, songwriter, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist that has split his life between Adelaide, Sydney and Canberra. Unfortunately, Azim was recently deported, meaning he can't be with us here in Australia to share this story. Thankfully, we recorded this the afternoon prior to his final show for the time being as a Canberra local, and now Azim's story gets to be heard like it always deserved to. We love you and miss you, mate. Fuck borders. Special thanks to Mulgara, The Homestead and Adam Buncher.

The hills of Adelaide. The beaches of the Central Coast. The outskirts of Sydney's inner-west. Despite coming from three completely different worlds, the four members of I Know Leopard found common ground through their love of music - from The Strokes to classical and all the way through to worship music. 2019 has already proven to be the biggest year of the band's career - their long-awaited debut album, , was released in April, and saw the band sell out a show at Sydney's Oxford Art Factory not a month later. This chat with three-quarters of the band - Luke O'Loughlin, Jenny McCullogh and Rosie Fitzgerald - sees the band lay it all out on the line for an hour. Put it this way: It's so informative that even learn stuff about one another.

For many guests on , high school is a place to cut your teeth, learn some covers and jam in your friend's garage. Gab Strum - AKA Japanese Wallpaper - is not your average guest. He's not even your average musician. He took to his laptop rather than guitars or drums, and with the first musical project he ever concocted he was lifted to national attention through winning triple j's Unearthed High competition.Bar Bands It's been one thing after another ever since - sold-out national tours, international interest, joining an indie rock band and teaming up with Allday to make the biggest tracks of either's career. While in Sydney supporting UK pop megastar Lily Allen, Gab ducked out of soundcheck to share his own tale of transformation from bedroom-dweller to theatre-filler. Japanese Wallpaper will be opening for Tycho at The Forum in Melbourne on July 23.Buy tickets here: https://www.ticketmaster.com.au/tycho-melbourne-23-07-2019/event/130056897A2816B5 Special thanks to Gab Strum, The Duke Hotel and Adam Buncher.

For many Australian music fans, Methyl Ethel didn't just arrive - they materialised, seemingly out of nowhere. With their sleeper hit "Ubu," the Perth natives took to national stages to increasing acclaim that has now spread to their third studio album, . Long before he was bemoaning anyone's hairstyle choices, however, Jake Webb was a curious and introverted kid trying to figure out his place in the world of music. He spent years honing his craft and playing as a sideman before anyone had so much as even heard the name Methy Ethel - and, on the day came out, he went into detail (well, mostly) about his fascinating story so far. Along the way, we touch on meeting your heroes, adapting a live show and how everyone in Perth knows one another (it's science, don't argue).TriageTriage is out now via Remote Control Records.

One of WA's most promising young upstarts, Carla Geneve forged out her love of music as a young kid in Albany. Persevering through hellish piano lessons, Geneve later discovered the healing powers of Acca Dacca and The Living End. She's long since turned the amp up to 11 and carved her own path in the rock world. Although she's only 20 years old, Geneve has already lapped up considerable national attention for her endearing and honest music. On the eve of the release of her debut EP, we spoke to Carla about her own west-side story. Carla Geneve's debut EP is out on June 7 via Remote Control Records.Pre-order here: https://carlageneve.lnk.to/carla-EP Special thanks to Charlie Ellison, Remote Control Records, The Bank Hotel and Adam Buncher.

Most guests of the podcast spend ages traversing different bands before they land on The One. For Joe Talbot, all he has ever known as a vocalist, songwriter and performer has been IDLES since they first formed back in 2009. His perseverance with the band has come to pay off with major dividends, as the Bristol-based band rose to major indie stardom in 2018 with their critically-adored second album, Joy As An Act Of Resistance. In a candid chat in the Gallery Bar of Sydney's Oxford Art Factory - while the rest of his bandmates learn how to play Streets songs - Talbot explains his initial love of music, the rise and fall of UK indie and what one learns from relentless touring. A huge thank-you to Bree Wilkinson at Inertia Music and to Adam Buncher for their assistance on this episode.

Growing up on the outskirts of LA, Phoebe Bridgers never had a specific moment where she decided to become a musician - truth be told, it was second nature. It wasn't long after Bridgers picked up a guitar that she was performing around town to an ever-increasing audience, eventually landing her slots on the road with everyone from Julien Baker to the Violent Femmes. She's been winning hearts and drawing out tears from her audience ever since, not only with her remarkable 2017 debut but also her collaborative EP as a part of Boygenius in 2018. With a brief moment of downtime on her first-ever Australian tour, Bridgers gave a quick guided tour through her musical endeavours, past and present. NB: There is no mention or discussion of the New York Times article Phoebe was quoted in during this podcast. This was recorded the day before the article was published.

Outside of the land of the long white cloud, The Beths were somewhat of a well-kept secret up until about this time last year. With the release of their debut album, Future Me Hates Me, the Auckland band became an international commodity and one of the quickest rising indie-rock bands of 2018. They now have support slots with the likes of Death Cab for Cutie and Bloc Party under their belts, not to mention a string of sold-out gigs both at home and across the pond. Before all of that, though, Liz Stokes and Jonathan Pierce were just awkward indie kids trying to figure out where they fit in. They tell stories from all across their still-blossoming career here, before taking to the stage at the Lansdowne in Sydney. The Beths are touring nationally in March and April, playing theatre shows with The Smith Street Band and headliner club shows with Jess Locke.
