Seja talks to Sam Cromack (Ball Park Music) about being in Brisbane’s politest band, their connection with fans and how he started loving music listening to his parent's classic 60s and 70s vinyl collection. Sam talks about how learning instruments gave him a sense of identity, his progression as a guitarist and singer including his experiences being transformed into a different person on stage and how he juggled university, jobs and touring. He tells Seja about the band’s instant connection with her high school friend; producer Matt Redlich, their luck with Australian radio support and his relationship with certain aspects of songwriting such as repetition.
