On this week’s episode, we chat with photographer David Herington. Working as a tour manager and stage tech since 2010, David’s photographs typically capture life on the road and across stages, streets and landscapes around the world. His unique position as a friend and touring member of a band’s crew affords me an intimate look into daily life on tour and the opportunity to capture images with a unique perspective and candidness.

"EUCA, like eucalyptus - home grown, good for you and mum loves it."
Recently having relocated from the Gold Coast to Melbourne, EUCA is best known for her take-no-shit emotional integrity twisted into heavenly melodies, creating a powerful yet homely discography. A self proclaimed over-sharer, her lyricism thrives in brutal realism married into perfect metaphors.
EUCA’s debut body of work “TRANSITIONAL PERIOD” encapsulates the stories spanning over 6 years of her regeneration as both an artist and human. The songbird presents 6 tracks of heavenly melodies, brawny guitars & cut-throat lyricism fuelled by the love, loss and all things lackluster that cultivate in the life of a teenager morphing into a woman - just in time for her mid-life crisis.
Join us as EUCA chats with SK's Brett Wood about her artist name, networking and growing as an artist and shares some advice for artists.

In this episode we discuss the new album by Olivia Rodrigo (Olive Rodrick), petting dogs and practice our burping.
Leo Rossi chats to hard music promoter/owner of The Faction radio station Tim Price about the future of hard music.
Leo and Arni discuss the apparently still very cool My Chemical Romance album The Black Parade and decide yes, it is still good 15 years later. No, it is.
Look it's late, but it is also exam season. We also seem to have skipped a month. Not sure what happened. Anyway here is the year when grunge and New Jack Swing ruled the charts and mingled with the new hip hop and the excesses of the 1980s (you know who we are talking about Axl), baby!
Sorry! Lots of things collided and we couldn't quite get it out in time and then we had to re-record half of it. Much in the same way punk and new wave collided with mainstream music in the late 70s. We also learn about music execs making up stories to sell music, the first appearance of what Bob Dylan was doing in any given year of popular music and some popular slang the chicks dig.

The very first episode! In fact we hadn't even decided on a title but as you will understand, "Impressions That I Get" is very important, especially when you consider the year and month of Nicholas Cage, big baggy clothes and goth eyeliner and MMMMMMMMbop? Jade digs into the background, Jimi tells tales of his last year of school and Kirby is strangely fixated on juggalos.
