Dissatisfied with what their home country had to offer, Radio Free Alice packed up and moved to the northern hemisphere. But leaving their home country wasn’t a choice for them — it was simply the necessary next step in becoming a global force. If you dig, you’ll find countless phenomenal Australian bands. But you have to dig. Radio Free Alice is taking your shovel away from you and saving you the work.

Their third EP, “Empty Words,” came out Wednesday, and their debut album is already on the way. They’re also touring through Europe and North America through mid-October, but vocalist Noah Learmonth and guitarist Jules Paradiso managed to find some time before all that to have a chat with me first.
