People who have seen us live will know that we like to crack jokes and have a fun time. There’s also a bit of political commentary, and I think that it’s the first time that we’ve tried to tap in and write songs with a bit more of an introspective look at how politics affects us opposed to how the world around us affects us, and how we all fit into the that world in a bit more depth.

INTERVIEW // Cry Club on: Matching Suits, Lady Gaga, Growing and ‘God I’m Such a Mess’
We don’t want to look what a pop artist looks like. We don’t want to look like what you think a punk artist should look like. We just want to be like ourselves.
INTERVIEW // Ok Hotel: On Dreams, ‘Life is Crazy’ and Relaunching
We have had a lot more time to do things. We made music videos for both the songs we released this year, which is something we might not have had enough time to do if we weren’t all locked down. With everyone on their phone a lot more we felt it was really important to make something super visual.
Interview // Maria Amato on: The AIR Awards and Indie-Con
AIR strives to recognise, promote and celebrate the success of Australia’s Independent Music sector and does this via a weekly production of Australian Independent Music charts, a newsletter and a strong social push to promote new independent music.
INTERVIEW // Snake Valley: Matt Martin on ‘Giddy Up’, Bands During Lockdown and Red Cave Records
It came out at that length, we decided it felt good, jam packed and really fun but short listen. We think it’s good because it keeps the listener active.
INTERVIEW // Sinclaire: Michael Cross on Niche Pockets of the Industry, Releasing Music in Isolation and New Tracks
It gave us this really good space to find what we wanted to do. I think it almost ended up being a good thing for us, in saying that I do miss playing live for sure. I want to have it so when we can play shows we’ve got enough songs out there that our new songs can translate live.
INTERVIEW // Xaysha On: ‘What They Say’, Identity and Collaborations
I fully believe that as long as I can like make a living from what I’m doing, that would be great.
INTERVIEW // Husky On: ‘Stardust Blues’, Concept Albums, Baking Bread and Classic Novels
That to me is where the album lives; that frontier between the external world and the internal world, the external journey and the internal journey.
INTERVIEW // Michael Dunstan: On ‘Lay In The Sun’, Simplicity, Touring and Inspiration
There are a couple of songs on the album that were written purely because I felt like I couldn’t express myself or talk to anyone. Music is so important for that.
INTERVIEW // Ben Gillies On: Breathe in Breathe Out, Growing Up In Newcastle, Silverchair and the Impact of Music
I went out to Byron Bay and we didn’t really have a plan. I said “hey look I’ve got this idea I think might have the magic juice”. I showed him and started singing the chorus line “just breathe” and that was it. He just turned around and said that’s it, that’s the one. We finished the song about two days. It’s really funny how some tracks that you can sit on for weeks on end, and some just come together so naturally.
