Oblivious Maximus - Podcast

This week my guest is Wayne Slattery (King Parrot), I caught up with Slatts in my podcast home away from home, the Commercial Club, had a couple beers and a chinwag about music, growing up in country Victoria and balancing constant riffing with real life! This was a fun one to record, so enjoy!

This week my guests are Michael and Robert Fitzsimmons (Life.Lair.Regret. Records), we discussed growing up in the Melbourne Hardcore scene, being banned from Ikea and having an impact on the scene that you grew up in as an adult. This was a really fun chat to have, enjoy it!

This week my guest is Emillie Reader (Meatlocker, Ultimatum), I've been wanting to chat with Emillie for a while about her involvement in the Melbourne Hardcore scene, working with the Sea Shepherd crew and being a big Hard Luck fan (Murph FOREVER).

This week my guest is Taylor Young (Twitching Tongues, Nails), I have been friends with Taylor for a while now, and since talking to his brother Colin earlier in the year for the podcast I've been meaning to get Taylor on to have a chat about his musical exploits as well as his life in and around metal and hardcore! Enjoy this conversation and go pick up Twitching Tongues new album 'Disharmony' available now on Metal Blade Records! BRUTAL

This week my guest is Trad Nathan (Crowbar Brisbane), we sat down in the bar to have a chat about all things Crowbar as well as Trad's life growing up abroad, playing in bands like The Scare and The Amity Affliction and how all of these things have snowballed towards owning and operating a bar/venue and having a wonderful fiance and child too!

This podcast is also available on YouTube in a video format, much shorter, but we thought it would be cool to get a glimpse of what we are talking about in one of Brisbane's best venues. Search Oblivious Maximus Podcast to find a sick video of myself and Trad having a chinwag. ENJOY! BRUTAL!

This week my guest is Gordy Forman (Frenzal Rhomb, Mindsnare), I have known Gordy for some time, and had the absolute pleasure of playing and touring with both Frenzal and Mindsnare over the last couple years, so thought it would be great to have him on for a chat. We did the podcast at the Box Hill RSL so excuse the rowdy punters in the beer garden! Enjoy!

This week my guest is Ryan Sim (Low Season), Ryan and I have been friends for a long time, and he is someone who I consider to have a very interesting outlook on music, and has a different perspective from my own on performing, writing, and existing in the alternative music scene here in Australia, so we talked about all of that! Enjoy!
