Music Is My Life

I sat down with my dear old friend Joel Birch during The Amity Affliction's 2026 Australian regional tour to share some laughs and tears while discussing his life of struggle, the dramatic events leading up to their seriously heavy new album 'House of Cards', and where the metalcore legends go from here as a newly self-managed band.

Canadian tech death guitarist and prominent heavy metal YouTuber Dean Lamb sits down at Froth N Fury fest to talk all about his journey as a creator and his band Archspire's decision to go independent for the release of their killer new album 'Too Fast To Die'.

Chatting production, politics, work life balance, and all of Will Putney's sick bands at Sooki Lounge in Belgrave during the debut Australian tour from Better Lovers.

Ahead of the ten year anniversary tour for the breakout Hellions album Opera Oblivia , I went and caught up with my good friend Matt Gravolin to talk all about the reactivation of his life's work after five years away from his best friends.

Chatting responsible touring, steady growth, strong family dynamics, and thoughts on future music with Make Them Suffer vocalist Sean Harmanis at Good Things 2025.

Jona is the guitarist and leader of the Swiss hardcore band COILGUNS. I first met him and most of his bandmates when they were playing for German post-metal collective THE OCEAN back in 2012. The band's latest record 'Odd Love' (released via Jona's prolific DIY label Hummus Records), is a viscerally passionate and elevated experience.

Fresh from opening the main stage on day two of Damnation Festival, Brady Deeprose, singer/guitarist of British post-metal group Conjurer sits down to talk new album 'Unself', trans rights, the skewed perception of their niche scene, touring with Make Them Suffer, and more.

I sat down with the main brain behind the mysterious Portuguese entity that is Gaerea at Damnation Festival to discuss the band's growth beyond traditional black metal, the influence of Linkin Park, how Sleep Token changed the game, and the forthcoming new record 'Loss'.

Matt and Carl are two of the three guitarists and both of the graphic designers in the ranks of the Sydney post-rock group We Lost The Sea. I sat down with them before the Melbourne show of the launch tour for their fifth record 'A Single Flower' to talk about the process behind it, as well as getting big in China and how that compares to touring the USA for the first time.

JJ Peters is the drummer of Australian metalcore heroes I Killed The Prom Queen. He also leads the international hardcore crew Deez Nuts. Saudade is the band’s newly released 7th full-length album - the first he has helmed as a sober man. We sat down at Northcote Theater during Prom Queen’s 25 Year Anniversary tour last month to chat about the journey.

Kevin Cameron, guitarist of the legendary Australian metalcore group I Killed The Prom Queen, sits down for his first-ever podcast two shows into their 25 year anniversary tour. Listen as we battle against soundcheck to discuss his feelings on the reunion, as well as joining fellow Adelaide hardcore pioneers Day of Contempt, and the status of his In Trenches project.

In the shadow of Uluru I speak to Isaiah Mitchell - guitarist of Californian psych-rock trio EARTHLESS - mere hours before the band would make history by performing in the presence of the monolith that inspired one of their most iconic songs.
