September 30, 2024 183 - Weekly Roundup (30/09/24)
Owen and Paige are strictly business this week for another cracking lineup of alternative tunes. We keep things Down Under with pop essentialism, experimental death metal, flexing hardcore, and bright horn-filled indie rock. Then on the global front, we’ve got football breakdowns, noise rock meltdowns, and the existential folk horror of interdimensional cosmic messages. It’s all here, folks. So dive right in.

September 27, 2024 182 - Cat Rosemary (Gravitate)
Our guest this week is Cat Rosemary, vocalist for metallic hardcore crew Gravitate. As a fixture and ongoing inspiration in Naarm/Melbourne’s hardcore scene, Cat’s fierce vocals and formidable stage presence bring a visceral edge to the group’s latest EP release, ‘The Reckoning’. Cat chats about the genesis of Gravitate, the importance of a communal ethos, writing about retributive justice through a theological frame, and finding strength and power in catharsis.

September 20, 2024 180 - Tom Lanyon (Ceres)
In the words of “Hello Sadness” by Los Campesinos!: “It's only hope that springs eternal.” For Tom Lanyon, singer-songwriter, guitarist, vocalist, and narrative journeyman for Naarm/Melbourne indie rockers Ceres, the quest for hope ultimately became the guiding principle behind the group's fourth studio album, the sprawling ‘MAGIC MOUNTAIN (1996—2022)’.

Presented as a 25-track double LP, the record chronicles five years of emotional turmoil for Lanyon, spanning his nostalgic return to his roots atop Mt. Dandenong (a summit both literal and figurative), the life-affirming joy of pregnancy, the bitter loss of miscarriage, and the eventual triumph of fatherhood. It's a record made for holistic experience, overflowing with grief, heartache, joy, and hope, an arresting story that Lanyon & Co. were born to tell.

Pre-order ‘MAGIC MOUNTAIN (1996—2022)’ (out October 4th via Civilians) here: https://ceres.lnk.to/magicmountain

September 08, 2024 176 - Josh Baker & Brent Ottley (Sunbleached)
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.
