Max and Sam have both been busy at gigs this week, and we look back at their experiences at 6lack and Niall Horan. Then they get serious for a sec, and talk about what the sound of the 2020s is (or isn't), before Max dives into a chat with another Sam, from brand-new Sydney metal band Dark Hours.

In the interview, they cover how a collection of the scene's biggest punk bands have built into the new heavy outfit, whether the Sydney scene is ready for the return of alternative, and how well a metal Baby Shark cover would go with the crowds.

In Vinyl Club, Sam and Max give you a peek behind the curtain how the show is made, listen in on "Life Jacket" by UK Outfit Supera Morza, Max reviews "Feel Something" by Movements, and then sets Sam two discs for homework.

Connect with Dark Hours on Instagram and Facebook, and listen to their debut track "Eye of the Storm" on Spotify and Apple Music.
