Chats with the musos

For his second full length undertaking “Blind to the Sea“, Adam Blacksmith has derived inspiration from his day job as special education teacher at Long Bay Jail. 

Crime and punishment, relationships, identity and Australian Aboriginal history are among the themes explored by this salt of the earth album replete with metaphor and prose. 

The listener is in for an eclectic sound with overtures of brooding indie-folk, a product of Blacksmith’s keen eye for storytelling coupled with the production genius of Jordan Ellery. 

​A local in Sydney’s Maroubra beach, Blacksmith counts Dylan, Augie March, The Drones, Converge and Carcass to be some of his musical heroes. 

In today’s episode we discuss his new album and the challenges being an up and comer in today’s music scene, his life working as an educator in Longbay Gaol and his incredible break on the SBS docuseries, Lost for words.

Nerdlinger have been flapping around the Australian live music scene since 2013.

Never taking themselves too seriously, or seriously at all, their live shows could be descripted as a tidal wave of high energy, loud noise and usually always hilarious banter, if you’re not laughing with them, you’re surely laughing at them. Either way, you’re guaranteed to be entertained.

The punk rock quartet hail from the beachy southern suburbs of Sydney and have a decorated history; playing national tours around Australia National Tour, )2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019) Japan (2014, 2015 & 2017), New Zealand (2016) and most recently USA (2018) culminating at the infamous ’Fest’ in Gainesville Florida.

The gents have supported heavyweights 28 Days, Anti-Flag, Frenzal Rhomb, MXPX, MUTE, Good Riddance, Guttermouth, Heartsounds, Red City Radio, Mustard Plug, Waterweed, Local Resident Failure, The Decline, Hightime, The Flangipanis as well as literally countless local bands.

They’ve released Two EPs (Back to Winnipeg, 2013 & Trendsetter, 2015) and in 2018 signed with Australian Label ‘Pee Records’ to release their debut LP, ‘Happy Place’. In 2019 the band partnered with Disconnect Disconnect Records to represent Australia on ‘Bridging Oceans’ a compilation album of international artists including Shames (Japan), Down Memory Lane (Canada) and Bare Teeth (France).

Last year the band released the single Prognosis to critical acclaim. The band are about to release their newest ditty ‘Six String Demon'

Hailing from Australia’s country music capital, Andy’s early musical influences, like most of ours, reflected his parent’s record collection. Absorbing the art of storytelling from James Taylor, he was “singing sad songs before I was even sad,”  it wasn’t until Andy left his hometown, drifted a while and landed in Sydney that his love of the genre emerged. 

After becoming a household name in Sydney’s live music pub scene, 2019 saw Andy announce his official signing with I OH YOU through the release of his debut single Run To The River to high praise. Premiering on triple j, the track saw immediate support from: Consequence of Sound,Chorus & Verse, Elicit Magazine, Vents Magazine and Enigma. The track has since been added to full rotation on ABC Country Radio and had seen strong support from Double J, with additional playlisting across Spotify and Apple Music. 

It was followed up by ‘When Your Mind’s Away’, a song that depicts the inner monologue that plays out when you realise the person you’re with is more ‘into it’ than you are. The end of 2019 saw Andy play to a capacity crowd at Marrickville Bowlo and deliver a rollicking set at Fairgrounds Festival in Berry. 

This year, Andy kicked off 2020 with headline shows at Tamworth Hotel from 23-26 Jan as a part of the Tamworth Country Music Festival where he played to his loyal hometown. Audience numbers swell each year as buzz around his live shows gains momentum, with punters clearly not about to miss the chance to claim they’ve known him since the beginning. 

Andy’s debut EP Namoi was released in February 2020 via I OH YOU. For fans that have been riding with Andy for years Namoi is an excruciatingly long-anticipated release. Namoi manages to capture all the energy Andy’s renowned for without losing an ounce of spirit, which is a credit to dream productionteam John Vella and Ryan Miller (Angus & Julia Stone, The Delta Riggs, The Jezabels), with mastering by Mike Tucci (DMA’s, Jack River, Moses Sumney).
 
Today we discuss his new found acting career with the multi-award winning series Robbie Hood, Andy takes us on his journey with mental health and we talk about the ballads he wrote as a young whippersnapper growing up in Tamworth that are still talked about to this day.

Tucked inside a pop shell lies Sydney-born, Kiwi singer-songwriter, Taylor B-W, who blends strong vocals, soul-driven melodies with emotive lyrics that reflect her resilience and quest for peace within herself and the world around her.
 
Swiftly moving between the many facets of pop music to show-off the different sides to her artistry, B-W proves she doesn’t like to be pigeonholed and would rather stay fresh and keep her followers on their toes.  However, she is an avid fan of 90s music and culture, which has trickled into her sound and branding.
 
Performing frequently on stages around Sydney (selling out The Vanguard, Street Market and Django Bar this past year), and her latest tracks 'Nunchucks' and 'I'm So Broke' getting airplay and recognition on Triple J, Triple J Unearthed, MTV Upload and The Edge 96.1, B-W is beginning to make a name for herself in the scene.
 
B-W won the Australian segment of the unsigned-artist competition, Emergenza, & went on to win Best Vocalist at the 2018 international finals in Germany. 
 
This episode explores about all things music including Taylor’s first break through, winning the Australian final of Emergenza, her amazing work as a conservationist in Africa and shares some wise words of wisdom for her younger self. 

We also have exclusive access to her live version of the brand new single, Nunchucks.
