Before they kicked off two roaring sets of fuzzed out, shoegaze-slanted post-hardcore at this year's BIGSOUND 2024 showcase in Brisbane, the boys from Sunbleached dropped into TPD HQ to give us the lowdown on their stellar new five-track EP, 'I Crawled Into The Hole'. Josh & Brent discuss the inception of the band, how the energy of live shows and a desire for visceral impact skew their sound in a heavier direction, and what's on the horizon for the promising Queensland outfit.

Emmy Mack is a bonafide rockstar. With their forthcoming full-length, ‘Mutation,’ locked and loaded (and arriving on November 22nd), the RedHook frontwoman and formidable firebrand is well on her way to becoming a household name. Emmy joins the show to chat about the band’s “outsider” status, the challenges of being a woman in heavy music, industry shenanigans, the group’s desire for evolution on their sophomore LP, and how she reclaimed her feminine superpower by embracing sexuality, vulnerability, and brutal honesty.

While emo alt-rockers Bad Neighbour were in town on a national support run with California’s Badflower, vocalist and guitarist Cooper Riley swung by TPD HQ to give us the lowdown on the group’s upcoming debut full-length, ‘Millions’ (out September 20th). We chat about Coop’s nostalgic twang for country music, pulling together friends to smoke cigs and play riffs, writing an album through the isolation and loss of the pandemic, and the band’s rising tour profile over the last 12 months. We also gush about Microwave, La Dispute, Defeater, and much more.
