Interview: The Horrors
"Creativity is my way of understanding myself, and it's my way of engaging with the world, interacting with the world."

Interview: Car Seat Headrest

Interview: Interpol
If you haven't heard of Interpol, maybe it's time to take a long hard look at yourself, your workplace, friendship groups and dare I say family just to consider what is going on within your social circle. Interpol aren't just another band from New York City, as far as I'm concerned they are the band from New York City.

If you haven't heard it yet, save yourself the bother of reading the rest of this paragraph and head straight to your favourite music streaming platform. After you have made yourself comfortable, hover your mouse over the "play" button and don't look back.

Since my first interview with Etta and Nelly, the girls as well as Bassist/Guitarist/Keys player and vocalist Luc Dawson, have been on one hell of a journey. After the

Interview: Jen Cloher
Jen Cloher's recent release (which is self-titled) is filled with her personal experiences and honest reflections. We recently caught up with Jen Cloher to talk about her 4th studio album. You studied acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), which is a very competitive school to apply for what drove you to instead go with music?
