Ninajirachi has been one of the most talked about Australian dance exports for a few years now, playing sold out shows and packed festivals stages all around the world. Her frenetic, dizzying clash of dance and hyperpop reaches fever pitch on her incredible debut album, I Love My Computer. As the name suggests, it's a record that dives into the amazing reaches of technology and connection, and also contemplates the horror that sometimes comes with it. 

Please enjoy our recent chat with the wonderful Ninajirachi.

Earlier this year, Chitra, a songwriter from Melbourne, released a single called Big Shot. A big, bruising indie rock pop track, it’s quickly become one of our most played songs of the year. And now, there’s plenty more where that came from.

Chitra has just released her debut album, 'You Can See It When It’s Dark'. It’s a brilliant record, full of wonderfully drawn indie rock tracks. 

Chitra, a sharp, deft songwriter, has a real ear for hooks, which comes to the fore on this album.

We were very happy to sit down and have a chat with her about the record, about the meaning behind that incredible single Big Shot, and her plans for the future. Please enjoy.

If you've listened to The Tuckshop over the last four years, you would have heard us play Djanaba's music regularly. She has been growing as an artist ever since we heard her breakthrough track, 'Big Titties' in 2021.

A proud Wiradjuri and Bundjalung woman with connections to the Wollombi people, Djanaba combines the traditional dance and song she was raised on with contemporary influences. 

She has just released her debut album, 'Did I Stutter?' and it's an honest and personal guide to surviving in your 20s. She says it's been worth every second....

In 2019, a singer-songwriter from Wollongong released an EP called Persevere. It was a collection of urgent, emotional, and endlessly memorable tracks, and it clearly connected with fans, because the EP was certified Gold in Australia. 

It was a prophetic start for Tyne-James Organ, who went on to release an excellent debut album called Necessary Evil in 2021, propelled by the immensely popular single Sunday Suit. 

Now, Tyne-James has returned with second album The Other Side, an album that is both gut-wrenching and life-affirming, just like life itself really? There are many twists and turns on the record, which is another excellent collection of songs from the now Sydney-based artist. 

He’s just about to head out on tour, and we welcomed Tyne-James Organ to The Tuckshop Takeaway.

Melbourne’s Press Club began the way a lot of Australian bands do, jamming away to their heart’s content in a garage in Brunswick. In the years since they’ve become one of the most respected punk-rock acts in the country, off the back of three incredible records - their debut Late Teens, Wasted Energy, and Endless Motion, which arrived in 2022 to a landslide of critical acclaim. 

The band have now returned with their fourth record, To All The Ones That I Love. It’s undeniably Press Club - frenetic, shifting, emotional punk rock, but it also pushes at their boundaries more than ever before. 

As always, it’s an epic listen, destined to be one of the best Australian albums of the year. We welcomed drummer Frank Lees to the Tuckshop Takeaway to chat through how it all came together.

Since the moment we heard the first strains of ‘Edge of Town’ and ‘Your Love’ back in 2016, we’ve been in love with Middle Kids. 

Through each release – 2018’s Lost Friends, 2021’s Today We’re The Greatest, and their new album Faith Crisis Pt 1 – the band have given us songs to cry to, songs that hug us, songs that make us want to sprint towards the horizon until we can’t run anymore. Faith Crisis Pt 1 is a very special record, sketching out the anxieties and joys of life in vivid colour. 

The Tuckshop was excited to welcome Tim Fitz and Harry Day onto the show live!

Making music in this day and age is a tough business. Making a living out of it is even harder, but what makes a band take that step into creating a cohesive album of music that brings together years of mucking out with garage recordings?

Forest Hall have kept pushing through. Nearly eight years as a band with a lot of twists and turns, through the passion and pain, the band have created a body of work to be proud of. 

You’ll Take On The World is a perfectly named record for an album that feels a long time coming, but is definitely worth the wait.

Mislav from Forest Hall joined The Tuckshop to talk through the record and have a great yarn!

There’s a comforting sense of familiarity when listening to STUMPS’ brand new album Arcadia. This is an album carved from distinctive influences, from the towering indie rock of the early 2010s, to Talking Heads to the dance rock of the 2000s. 

Of course, it’s all delivered with that fresh and fun STUMPS sound, with brilliant songwriting and pristine arrangements and the warm voice of Kyle Fisher.

Arcadia just hit shelves a couple of days ago, and we were very excited to be joined by the band live in the studio with us!
