Woodlock are a Melbourne based Alt-folk Trio who found success busking all over Australia. New Zealand-born brothers Zech and Eze Walters struck up a friendship with Bowen Purcell (drums) after moving to Australia. In search of adventure, the three traveled around the country busking, before eventually settling in Melbourne. Now signed to Nettwerk Records, the trio has been recording new music over nine months in a variety of locations – from Bowen's garage to Homesurgery Recordings in Melbourne – and working with producers Hayden Calnin (Didirri, Harrison Storm, and a solo artist in his own right) and Jackson Barclay (Vera Blue, Winterbourne, Timberwolf). Their new music – a dynamic mix of organic, acoustic elements and electronic flourishes – is a breathtakingly candid collection of songs about heartbreak, trauma and hope. In this episode they shared how it all began, the lessons they have learnt along the way, the CRAZY success stories and the beautiful adventure they have been on together. They really opened up and touched on some of the reasons they have needed to take a break and come back bigger and stronger than ever. This is a super valuable conversation for anyone looking to build their career organically or just feel inspired to pursue music. Check them out on insta @woodlockmusic

Indie-folk singer-songwriter Harrison Storm has already amassed 160+ million combined streams on Spotify. He has made a name for himself on the road as an honest and charismatic performer with crowd-pleasing confidence, playing alongside artists such as Snow Patrol, The Paper Kites, Ziggy Alberts, and Hollow Coves. Diligently chasing his musical dream with a sense of urgency, he dropped out of university to solely devote his days to busking for tourists in Melbourne, eventually making enough to finance his 2015 debut EP Sense of Home, produced by friend Hayden Calnin. Harrison caught the attention of Nettwerk Records co-founder Terry McBride, who personally signed him after sending him a message on Facebook. Hear his story thus far and what it has taken to get where he is today. Check him out @harrisonstormmusic
