August 12, 2024 169 - Weekly Roundup (12/08/24)
With Paige’s absence extended for yet another week, Chris reluctantly returns to keep the guest co-host seat warm, and Owen graciously thanks him for his service. We run through upcoming releases from Many Eyes, House of Protection, Make The Suffer and more, a new anonymous project of questionably mysterious and/or horny origins, along with a speculative analysis of temporal compositional constraints thanks to Canada’s primary experimental hardcore punk exports.

August 09, 2024 168 - Bailey Schembri & Aden Young (Gravemind)
Joining the show this week are Bailey Schmebri & Aden Young of Naarm/Melbourne metallers Gravemind. With their bold new album, ‘Introsphere’, finally out in the world, we chat about the years of creative struggle the group faced in bringing their dark sonic vision to life. Bailey details the internal pressure felt in stepping into the band as their new vocalist, with a completely finished album ready and waiting for his lyrical “Deathtouch”. Against line-up shifts, pandemic logistical hurdles, and seemingly constant delays, Aden explains how Gravemind were determined to push the boundaries of their sound, embracing melody and collaboration to craft a record that dares to ask: “Can you find the balance between right and wrong? Love and hate? Real or make believe?”

August 05, 2024 167 - Weekly Roundup (05/08/24)
With Paige away interstate, Owen recruits resident Gravitate thunderbird, man of many talents, overenthusiastic multi-tasker, and future Billabong rep Chris Roese (@deaf.chris) to sub in as this week’s co-host. Chris defends the honour of Good Charlotte, confesses to crying in the mosh pit, pours his heart out for ‘Radical’ and talks about that one time he dodged the matrimony bullet. Oh, and we also listen to killer new tunes. It’s a fun one, so rip in.

August 02, 2024 166 - Jared Chappell & Dan New (Plovers)
Plovers are dead. Well, almost. It’s certainly not from a lack of trying, though, and at least they’ve got one hell of a record to play themselves out. We catch up with two-thirds of “Melbourne's 9th most popular post-hardcore band” to discuss their untimely soon-to-be demise (RIP), the protracted journey to their phenomenal debut album release, our yearning desire for critical thinking and self-reflection, and why billionaires don’t deserve defending.

July 29, 2024 165 - Weekly Roundup (29/07/24)
It’s been another wild week in the world of alternative music. Thankfully, Owen & Paige are fearless, intrepid explorers willing to venture where others may fear to tread. We unveil Oddworld nu metal vistas, Aussie elder emo heaviness, riffy D.C. pop-punk, and legendary Japanese post-rock goodness. Oh, and this week’s feature album is staggeringly beautiful and utterly devastating in equal measure. You’re welcome.

July 15, 2024 161 - Weekly Roundup (15/07/24)
Owen & Paige run full-steam ahead into another packed roundup, and the tracks aren’t slowing down for anyone. Aussie hardcore royalty rubs up with R’n’B rockers and American alt-metallers. Oklahoma drops by with some homegrown indie-punk and a slamming slice of brutal death metal. And why not add a little shoegaze and jamming psych to the mix? They’re all here, and we’re chatting about the lot, so tune in!
