This episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered sees the boys diving headfirst into high‑energy rock with Sydney’s own STARCRAZY — a band fusing glam rock attitude, power pop hooks, and progressive edge into what they proudly call PowerProg.

Curly, Braggy, and Rossy sit down with the band to unpack their journey from Sydney’s Inner West stages to international radio spins, including airplay on Alice Cooper’s Nights With Alice Cooper. The conversation is loud, fun, and unapologetically rock — just the way it should be.
