(careful, it's not really radio friendly)
This is one of those genres I’ve had a thing for ever since I was a kid. And I didn’t even realise. I started listening to The John Butler Trio again the other day, and I remembered a time where all I listened to were Roots artists and albums that began to define my teenage […]
MoreI’ve always had a thing for prog rock, from the first time I heard Cog on a Triple J Hottest 100 CD back in 2005 with My Enemy. It’s been a genre I’ve been passionate about for years, and a genre that deserves more attention in Australia, particularly because we have such incredible prog-rock acts. […]
MoreIt’s been just over six months since we officially heard anything from the internet’s favourite boyband, Brockhampton, but we’ve seen their name in headlines across social media for more unpleasant reasons than a new dancey hip-hop tune. The band was set to release their latest album at the beginning of June, but after sexual assault […]
MoreAnd now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC When I was younger I had a real infatuation with Nirvana. I’d play their music on the guitar, they were the first ‘heavy’ band I actually liked. While everyone was off pretending they liked early Bring Me the Horizon, I was listening […]
MoreIt’s now over half way through the year so I thought I’d sit down and think about the Top 10 Albums of 2018 So Far. Whadda you reckon?

The funny, play on word segment, ripping from Madonna’s hit single, has been a staple to an angsty hipster’s Friday morning like a cup of fresh batch brew espresso with their smashed avo on rye. I used to […]
MoreEvery year the BIGSOUND lineup is announced and I scroll through scratching my head. Who the hell is that guy? I’ve never heard of her before. I say that in my head about twenty times as only a handful of artists ring a bell. And an even smaller number are featured on my Spotify playlists. […]
MoreAnd now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC People have been screaming out for the Old Kanye. But does Kanye’s ‘best’ album still live up to the hype? Is it the classic album people say it is? After the Hype is a weekly series where I listen to an album […]
MoreEveryone has an album, maybe an artist, that you naturally gravitate back to once or twice a year. For me it’s Sufjan Stevens. His soft, shy, whispery voice beckons me in. I’m like a soldier returning from war, welcomed by his joyous wife. I’ve battled in the trenches, listening to the devilish riffs of stoner […]
MoreAnd now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC Radio Friendly’s first video review. This is definitely a working progress, but it was fun and I want to make more video content. Possibly just one a month, maybe two, for now. We’ll see how we go with it all. There’s much […]
