Oh, cuzzie. This was an interview that seemed destined not to happen, but after being unable to review in-vivo at Brutefest 2025 in Melbourne (*cough-werevieweditonthesite-*cough*), then multiple tech SNAFU's - Chris, Daif and myself finally pulled through to get an interview!

One which was, by the way, such an extensive talk (covering everything from Stalker's touring, mental health, the New Zealand scene, some realities and benefits of modern musicianship - and more) that we broke Zoom's time-limit and had to make it a two-parter!

This was a really fun and earnest chat - we spend as much time laughing as anything else, great banter! - and one I truly appreciate.

Accompanying this interview will be additional photography, footage and more from Stalker's recent headliner set at Brutefest 2025 - this will be contained within the same post as the current video, plus audio-only version links and some Stalker goodies!
