It's been about two decades now since the world of Australian hip-hop welcomed Matt Colwell, otherwise known as 360, onto the scene. A rapper with a flair for mixing genuineness with wry humour and slick rhymes, 360 rose to wider fame in 2011 with the release of his 'Falling & Flying' album.

It was just over 30 years ago that power pop outfit the Icecream Hands formed in Melbourne. With its origins lying in Adelaide group The Mad Turks From Istanbul in the '80s, the power pop sensibilities of The Mad Turks followed over to the Icecream Hands, which has featured founding songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist Charles Jenkins ever since.

Episode 79: Hamish Cowan – Cordrazine 57:52

1M ago57:52

57:52

For close to 30 years now, the Australian music scene has sporadically played host to the exceptional Cordrazine. Fronted by Hamish Cowan, who formed the group following time spent in the group Blindside, Cordrazine were the very definition of a star that shone brightly, and for a period far shorter than they should have. Releasing their 'Time To L…

Episode 78: Todd Andrews & Jamie Timony – These New South Whales 37:44

1M ago37:44

37:44

I could probably hazard a guess and say that we all know people like These New South Whales: stunning musicians, effortlessly funny, charismatic, and just all 'round impressive people. With that in mind, it's hard to pick out what to focus on when talking about their achievements. Maybe we could talk about their musical career, which has brought wi…

Episode 77: JP Jakonen – Cliff Barnes 49:14

2M ago49:14

49:14

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this – the chances are very good that you do not know my guest today. In fact, I hadn't even heard about my guest until just a few months ago. That all changed back in June when I played a show in Ruovesi, Finland, on whose line-up the band Cliff Barnes could also be found. Also hailing from the gorgeous c…

Episode 76: Daniel Devlin – The Belair Lip Bombs 31:18

2M ago31:18

31:18

There's a very good chance that one of Australia's next big rock bands is going to be The Belair Lip Bombs. Hailing from Frankston in Victoria, The Belair Lip Bombs aren't exactly from a massive musical metropolis, but that hasn't stopped them thriving. First formed in 2017, the quartet issued a pair of EPs ahead of their 2023 debut album, 'Lush Li…

Episode 74: Gareth Liddiard – The Drones, Tropical Fuck Storm 52:18

2M ago52:18

52:18

Ask anyone, and there's a good chance that many Australian music fans will describe Gareth Liddiard as one of the pillars of this country's music scene. For Liddiard, his musical career began back in the '90s, entering this creative world alongside the formation of The Drones, who are often regarded one of Australia's most revered bands. Alongside …

Episode 73: Gabe Stove & Justin Teale – dust 41:17

3M ago41:17

41:17

For the past few years now, I've been watching Newcastle outfit dust rise through the ranks, ticking achievements off their bucket lists as if it's no big deal. I've eagerly watched them since I wrote their very first piece of press back in 2021, premiering their first single, and manifesting good things for them. Since then, it's been stunning to …

Episode 72: Evan Dando – The Lemonheads 39:02

3M ago39:02

39:02

If you're a fan of music from the '90s, or just the indie-rock genre in general, then the chances are probably pretty much perfect that you're aware of The Lemonheads. First formed in Boston back in 1986, the group has been fronted by Evan Dando since its earliest days, with Dando being the driving force (and only original remember) since 1989. The…

1:00:42

For decades now, Dave Graney has been one of the most important names in the world of Australian music. First making his appearance in the music world in the late '70s, the South Australian-born Graney found wider fame as a member of The Moodists with partner Clare Moore, with the group's influential post-punk sound seeing them based in London as t…

4M ago40:42

40:42

For the past five years now, Los Angeles has been home to the alt-rock/pop-punk outfit Beauty School Dropout. Initially being formed as a solo project from Colie Hutzler while still performing as part of the group Strangefaces, the project soon expanded with the membership of Brent 'Beepus' Burdett and Bardo Novotny. Swiftly, the group found themse…

4M ago33:26

33:26

If you've been listening to this podcast over the last year and a half, then you'd probably be aware of how much I love to shine a light on artists from Adelaide. Maybe it's my biased nature due to being from Adelaide, or maybe there's something in the water there, but whatever the case, I reckon one Adelaide act you need to hear right now is none …

Episode 67: Sean Thompson – MUDRAT 49:57

4M ago49:57

49:57

If you're looking for an artist to give your attention to this year, I humbly and assertively request that it be MUDRAT. MUDRAT is a project that has been going officially since December 2023, with a string of releases arriving in that first year, including the likes of 'I HATE RICH CUNTS,' 'WE DESPISE THE BOURGEOISIE,' and 'YEAR OF THE RAT.'

Episode 66: Anthony Gesa & Chris Teti – The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die 22:40

5M ago22:40

22:40

For over 15 years now, the worlds of emo, indie, and post-hardcore have been home to the ever-enjoyable The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die. If you're anything like me, you might have been intrigued by the group's often unmanageable name, but once you checked them out, you were struck by their inimitable approach to music,…

Episode 65: Cherie Currie – The Runaways 15:47

5M ago15:47

15:47

It's probably fair to say that the world of rock music wouldn't look how it does today without a band like The Runaways. Formed in 1975, the group's all-female lineup was a breath of fresh air on the male-dominated scene, with debut single "Cherry Bomb" and their self-titled album arriving in 1976 to strong acclaim, despite not being a smash on the…

Episode 64: Davey Lane – You Am I 43:21

5M ago43:21

43:21

When you think about Australian music, it's a little hard not to think about Davey Lane. That might sound grandiose, but given he's spent more than 25 years as a guitarist for local legends You Am I, it's hard to classify him any other way. Joining the already-established outfit at just the age of 18, Lane swiftly found himself as part of Aussie mu…

1:02:42

Hello and welcome to Trusty Chords, the podcast which aims to celebrate music and those that create it. For the past 25 years, Brisbane's Halfway have operated as one of those well-kept secrets that often feels as though only a select few know about. Of course, with ARIA, APRA, and AIR Award nominations (and a win the latter category), along with t…

Episode 62: Bryan Estepa 1:07:18

1:07:18

For a few decades now, one of Australia's greatest unsung musical heroes has been none other than Bryan Estepa. Born in the Philippines before moving to Australia as a child, Bryan has had a storied career as a musician, performing in bands such as Swivel and Hazey Jane before turning his attention toward solo gear. That solo gear first took form u…

6M ago1:05:03

1:05:03

Cast your mind back 20 years and you might be taken right back to a moment in time where one of the most exciting Australian bands out there on the scene was none other than End Of Fashion. Formed in Perth by Justin Burford, who was at the time a member of The Sleepy Jackson, End Of Fashion found itself slowly finding fame thanks to constant airpla…

Episode 60: Ashlea Jaye – Left On Seen 1:35:19

6M ago1:35:19

1:35:19

If you know me (or simply listen to the podcast – both are very good options), then you'd likely know how much I like to surround myself with musicians I both enjoy and respect. Frankly, with that in mind, I reckon you can't go past someone like Ashlea Jaye. A lifelong lover of music and a self-described theatre kid, Ashlea has been a supporter of …

Ever since they released their debut single back in 2019, Queensland alt-rockers Cardboard Cutouts have been determined to keep themselves moving. Whether it's trying new things on the writing or recording front, or simply looking towards myriad artists for inspiration, it's easy to see they're a group who aren't happy to stay in one lane. Indeed, …

Episode 58: Josh Morris – The Electorate 53:11

7M ago53:11

53:11

For a few years now, the Australian music industry has been home to a band whose current iteration has roots spanning back decades. In the early '90s, the Sydney scene featured an indie-rock trio dubbed The Templebears. Issuing three releases across as many years, the group never released a debut album, ultimately splitting around 1992. Its members…

Episode 57: Crystal Choi & Simeon Kavanagh-Vincent – Phoebe Rings 42:45

7M ago42:45

42:45

If you're someone who likes their music a little bit dreamy, a little bit hazy, and a whole lot of brilliant, then you need to point your peepers toward New Zealand, where Auckland's Phoebe Rings have been providing just that for some years now. Initially beginning as something of a solo project for Crystal Choi, it swiftly expanded, bringing toget…

Episode 56: Ciarann Babbington – Bakers Eddy 46:54

7M ago46:54

46:54

Are you someone who likes their music with a bit of energy and a bit of fun? Then let me point you towards Bakers Eddy. Formed in Wellington, New Zealand when its members were still quite young, the group found itself crafting a pop-punk sound and issuing a few tracks and an EP before heading west and relocating to Melbourne, Australia. Since 2017,…

For over 20 years now, music-lovers of the world have been lucky enough to exist within the same timeline as The Spill Canvas. Formed by Nick Thomas back in 2001, the group rose to fame throughout the decade, with their work equally being categorised as alternative rock, emo, pop rock, and more. Thanks to releases like the 'Denial Feels So Good' EP…

Episode 54: Chris Penney – Private Function 1:35:29

8M ago1:35:29

1:35:29

When it comes to explaining Private Function in just a few short paragraphs, there's a lot of difficulty at play. After all, they're a Melbourne punk outfit who have been around for close to a decade now, pumping out blistering tunes while employing a visceral sense of humour as they use their platform to succeed in the rock world while simultaneou…

Episode 53: Craig Finn – The Hold Steady 36:05

8M ago36:05

36:05

Anyone who knows me knows that I love a good lyricist, and then that means you should definitely know the great Craig Finn. For the uninitiated, Craig was the man behind the likes of Lifter Puller, and following their split in 2000, he moved from Minneapolis to New York City and, well, didn't do much. That was, until he formed The Hold Steady after…

If you're someone who hasn't yet listened to Propagandhi, then I'm sure you're about to have the time of your life as you discover their eclectic and celebrated discography. Forming in Canada back in 1986, they've been a going concern for close to four decades now, though it wasn't until 1993 that they released their first album. After a few years,…

Episode 51: Steve Sladkowski – PUP 46:16

8M ago46:16

46:16

For 15 years now, Canadian outfit PUP have been defying the concept that their name stands for a Pathetic Use of Potential and have been proving all and sundry wrong as they travel around the world with their unique blend of alt-rock and punk. Formed in 2010 as Topanga, PUP issued their self-titled album in 2013, with 'The Dream Is Over' following …

Episode 50: Jesse Coulter – Grenadiers 45:28

9M ago45:28

45:28

There’s no denying the fact that Adelaide is just one of those cities that can’t help itself but breed amazing bands. Sure, you can look at groups like The Angels, Cold Chisel, and more, but why not look at groups like Stolen Youth, The Rivalry, Sleeptalker, and Dick Wolf? They’re also amazing bands, and for the trainspotters amongst us, you might …

Episode 49: Ella & Jesse Hooper – Killing Heidi 39:12

9M ago39:12

39:12

If you’re anything like me, the name Killing Heidi was one that was synonymous with the Australian music scene at the turn of the millennium. Formed in regional Victoria by siblings Ella and Jesse Hooper, Killing Heidi first rose to fame as part of triple j’s Unearthed series, with the track ‘Kettle’ featuring a newly-teenaged Ella on vocals. This …

Episode 48: Jesse F. Keeler – Death From Above 1979, MSTRKRFT 56:28

9M ago56:28

56:28

There was a period of time in the early ‘00s when one of the most exciting bands in the game was Canada’s own Death From Above. Well, that’s what they were called at first, but by the time they released their debut album ‘You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine,’ Sebastien Grainger and Jesse F. Keeler had lengthened their name to Death From Above 1979 due to…

Episode 47: Damian Cowell – TISM, Damian Cowell's Disco Machine, The Arseless Chaps 2:00:04

9M ago2:00:04

2:00:04

When it comes to Damian Cowell, the only word that accurately sums up his career is ‘prolific.’ A staple of the Melbourne music scene for close to five decades now, Cowell has been involved in more bands than I’ve had hot dinners. On the prehistoric side of things, there’s bands such as Tall Stories and I Can Run, and then there’s a rather well-kno…

Episode 46: Levi Cooper – Raccoon City 1:10:25

9M ago1:10:25

1:10:25

For about 15 years now, Adelaide has been home to a stellar outfit called Raccoon City. Though not exactly trailblazers of the screamo and post-hardcore genre in the city, for a while, they were arguably one of the most prominent, setting themselves apart as a leading figure within those circles at a time when the genre du jour was a breezy indie-r…

Episode 45: Kingsley Hall – Benefits, The Chapman Family 1:38:19

10M ago1:38:19

1:38:19

If you don’t recognise the name Kingsley Hall, then I want you to stop what you’re doing right now and do a bit of musical research. For most, Kingsley’s name would be recognisable thanks to his role up the front of English outfit The Chapman Family, where he was better known as Kingsley Chapman. Though relatively unknown down here in Australia, th…

Episode 44: Barry Adamson – Magazine, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds 43:43

10M ago43:43

43:43

I’m going to hazard a guess that even if the name Barry Adamson isn’t one you recognise right off the bat, you’re definitely aware of his contributions to the world of music. At the age of 19, Barry found himself joining the nascent Magazine as his first band, with wayward Buzzcocks vocalist Howard Devoto recruiting him for the new band. An influen…

Episode 43: Matthew Hayward – Street Legal 57:24

10M ago57:24

57:24

If you’re on the cutting edge of music, then you would be aware that there is a band hailing from unceded Kaurna Country (that is to say, the South Australian capital of Adelaide) that is one you definitely need to know. That band is Street Legal, a group whose sound might be rooted in the romanticism of ‘80s sonics and nostalgia, but heavily progr…

Episode 42: Anika Ostendorf – Hachiku 58:20

If you’re anything like me, then the chances are good you’ve been spending the past few years eagerly awaiting a full-length return from Hachiku. Started as the musical project of Anika Ostendorf just under a decade ago, Hachiku rose to fame as part of the beloved Milk! Records stable, with a handful of releases preceding the arrival of her debut a…

11M ago57:45

57:45

If you’ve not yet heard of Kristin Hersh, well, I envy you because she has a rather storied career ready for you to dive into. Having first formed Throwing Muses alongside her stepsister Tanya Donelly in the early ‘80s, the group swiftly became an impressive musical force, with records arriving via the influential 4AD label. In 1991, Donelly left t…

1:44:07

If you’re a music fan from Melbourne, the chances are pretty good you’ve heard of Beth Seymour. By her own admission, it’s a name you might not be quite familiar with just yet. After all, as she says; new name, new her, new era. But for years, Beth has been a vital part of the Melbourne music scene, with an irresistible combination of earnest lyric…

Episode 39: Jimmy Christmas – The D4, Luger Boa, Jet Generations 56:45

56:45

If you’ve ever thought, “There just aren’t enough rock and roll bands out there who make me want to release my pent-up energy,” then you need to set your sights towards New Zealand and check out The D4. Around the turn of the century, The D4 were one of the more prominent rock outfits emerging from New Zealand, with debut album ‘6Twenty’ arriving a…

Episode 38: Ben Stewart – Slowly Slowly 56:16

11M ago56:16

56:16

There’s a lot of bands out there who manage to craft music that is as emotional as it is poignant, but I feel there are few who get quite the same reaction to their work that Melbourne’s Slowly Slowly does. If you’ve been listening to Australian music over the last decade, then I’m pretty sure you would’ve heard them at some point. First formed in …

Episode 37: James Curd – Modern Living, Greenskeepers 49:28

49:28

By his own admission, James Curd isn’t exactly a household name. However, the chances are pretty good that you’ve been exposed to his work at some point over the years. Having launched his musical career back in Chicago in the ‘90s, James rose to fame as part of the group Greenskeepers, which managed to find a bit of widespread fame thanks to songs…

Episode 36: Tim Steward – Screamfeeder 47:17

1y ago47:17

47:17

When it comes to the ‘Australian alternative rock scene’, it’s pretty hard to look past the likes of Screamfeeder. After all, they’ve been around for over 30 years now, and whenever anyone imagines an Australian alternative band, it’s a band like Screamfeeder they’re thinking of. Loud, melodic, critically-acclaimed, and commercially-overlooked, Scr…

Episode 35: Andrew Cox – The Fauves 37:41

1y ago37:41

37:41

If you were to ask me my opinion on the greatest Australian bands of all time, The Fauves would be found pretty close to the pointy end of things. I’m sure I’m not alone in that assertion either, after all, they’ve been around for 36 years now, constantly and consistently performing as one of the country’s most underrated and underappreciated group…

Episode 34: Andy Bull 1:05:13

1y ago1:05:13

1:05:13

I don’t know about you, but when I try to describe Andy Bull, I have a hard time. After all, to simply call him a musician feels like it’s not going far enough. Sure, he’s released a handful of EPs and albums over the years (including 2014’s ‘Sea Of Approval’) and he’s shared plenty of wonderful songs, such as 'Dog' (with Lisa Mitchell), 'Baby I Am…
