Nimbin, For the Sights and Sounds w/ Park Rd Jun 28, 2024

Show notes

Sam and Max get right into the big issues, figuring out why people don't like Coldplay, and run through a list of Sam's very first big tracks of 2024 (in June). Then, they look into the Bigsound line up that dropped this week ahead of Brisbane's most exciting week in September.
For the interview, they head to the Triffid to chat backstage with NZ indie rockers Park Rd as they travelled across Australia with The Rions. They cover how their album came together, the pipeline of Kiwi artists coming over the ditch, and when they might be back on our shores.
In Vinyl Club, it's a look back at Searows sad EP, balanced by a look forward to FIDLAR's third album as Sam's homework for next week. Maybe we'll invest in a record store too...?
Connect with Park Rd on Instagram and Facebook, and listen to their debut album, "The Novel" on Spotify and Apple Music.

This is a Private Hospital w/ Girl and Girl Jun 21, 2024

Show notes

Recovering from a silly start (and a wheezy lung), Max and Sam tuck into some emo rock cringe, two interesting music-adjacent developments, and then unload on their musical pet peeves.
Max and Sam dial in with Kai, lead singer of Brisbane band Girl and Girl to talk through their debut album, "Call a Doctor". They cover how the monologues went down with teeny-bopper crowds, what it's like being in the same conversation as Nirvana and Sonic Youth, and why the Wesley Hospital had to be left out of their Aussie tour.
Connect with Girl and Girl on Instagram and Facebook, and listen to their debut album, "Call a Doctor" on Spotify and Apple Music.

My Head Bouncing Around the Screen w/ Raave Tapes Jun 14, 2024

Show notes

Sam and Max have a stab at the upcoming Good Things festival line up, and then try to solve the issue of cancelling festivals once and for all. Sam brings a few big hitting breakdowns to soil Max's ears with.
Then, they dial in with Newcastle's dancefloor punks, Raave Tapes, following the release of their self-titled debut album. They cover how hard it is to impress school children, the long and surprising list of reference material for the album, and why the Newcastle scene is on the up-and-up!
In Vinyl Club, Sam and Max reflect on an off-hand comment that led to a social media firestorm about perfect albums, they dive into Harvest by Neil Young, and Max sets Sam some very 80s homework.
Connect with Raave Tapes on Instagram and Facebook, and listen to their self-titled debut album on Spotify and Apple Music.

What Are You Doing Out There Playing that Music? w/ Old Mervs Jun 07, 2024

Show notes

Max and Sam have a punt at predicting the Listen Out line-up (in the past), seeing fans in the street, and analyse the tuckshop line economics. Sam brings Max a stack of new stuff to explore, and commissions a video from one of the big wigs on the 'Gram. Then, they catch up with Dave from WA band Old Mervs ahead of their appearance at Spin Off Festival in Adelaide in July. They chat about coming up in a small, rural WA town, the importance of touring regionally for the local scenes, and how the band will build out their Spin Off set to get the new fans in the mosh.
Over in Vinyl Club, they go over Jungle Giants' debut album, set some old school homework, and discuss the importance of Oasis for your record collection.
Connect with Old Mervs on Instagram and Facebook, and listen to their latest EP, "Give It Up" on Spotify and Apple Music. Get tickets to Spin Off at the website.

It's Free Jazz, But It Ends Up Sounding Like Us w/ POND May 24, 2024

Show notes

Sam succumbs to a character moment as a Southern gentleman, before they cover some really family-friendly tunes from Cannibal Corpse. They take a very non-legalistic look at the Live Nation Anti-Trust lawsuit, and how it might impact the Aussie industry. Then Max dials in with Nick Allbrook from WA legend POND off the back of their latest single "So Lo". They talk about how the band are channeling a big night at the club, whether genre is back in a big way, and how the band plan out their albums.
Then in Vinyl Club, they look back at some heat Sam copped online for not liking Deftones, they get a new song from a deep-cut friend of the show, and Max gives his impressions of Knocked Loose's latest album.
Connect with POND on Instagram and Facebook, and listen to their latest single "So Lo" on Spotify and Apple Music. Find tickets to your local show at Pond's website.

Epic Heavy. Smash. Bang. In Your Face W/ Dark Hours May 03, 2024

Show notes

Max and Sam have both been busy at gigs this week, and we look back at their experiences at 6lack and Niall Horan. Then they get serious for a sec, and talk about what the sound of the 2020s is (or isn't), before Max dives into a chat with another Sam, from brand-new Sydney metal band Dark Hours.
In the interview, they cover how a collection of the scene's biggest punk bands have built into the new heavy outfit, whether the Sydney scene is ready for the return of alternative, and how well a metal Baby Shark cover would go with the crowds.
In Vinyl Club, Sam and Max give you a peek behind the curtain how the show is made, listen in on "Life Jacket" by UK Outfit Supera Morza, Max reviews "Feel Something" by Movements, and then sets Sam two discs for homework.
