Unfiltered & Undiscovered

In this episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered, hosts Curly, Braggy, and Rossy sit down for an unscripted conversation with Polish-Australian singer-songwriter, producer, and live-looping artist ZUZY.

Based on the Gold Coast, ZUZY blends organic keys, trip-hop grooves, and dry humour to explore everything from neurodivergence and attachment dynamics to navigating situationships. Supported by the City of Gold Coast Arts Development Fund, we chat about her cross-continental production work between Poland and Australia, her transition from studying music theory in Szczecin to the Queensland hinterland, and how she builds complex multi-layered studio arrangements live on stage using her loop pedal.

1. "Gravel Road" – ZUZY

2. "Up To Me" – ZUZY

3. "Sama w domu" – ZUZY

This week on Unfiltered & Undiscovered, Curly, Braggy, and Rossy sit down with Damien Baguley, frontman and chief songwriter of Newcastle's premier country-rock powerhouse, The Viper Creek Band.   

Since breaking out of the Hunter Valley music scene, The Viper Creek Band has spent over a decade tearing up festival stages—from Tamworth and Gympie to CMC Rocks and Deni Ute Muster. Blending heavy, pub-rock guitar riffs with anthemic country songwriting, the boys have topped the ARIA Country Albums Chart, landed Golden Guitar nominations, and built one of the most passionate grassroots fanbases in independent Australian music.

In this episode, the team dives deep into:

• The Regional Pub Circuit Grit: Building a national fanbase from scratch across New South Wales and regional Australia.

• Studio vs. Stage: Capturing high-octane festival energy inside the recording studio for chart-topping albums like Just Press Play and Beautiful Destruction.

• 10+ Years on the Road: Unfiltered tour stories, festival backstage chaos, and keeping the passion alive as an independent outfit.

What followed was an absolute full-throttle, high-energy conversation. It was raw, hilarious, and completely unscripted—and while Timmy might look back and regret a few of the unfiltered truths he let slip during the chat, we guarantee you won't. From studio antics to the realities of keeping the pop-punk flame burning on the live circuit, this is about as real as it gets.

Songs Featured in This Episode

1. "My Dearest Hayley"

2. "Without You"

• High-Octane Energy: Navigating dual vocal duties and thick two-guitar arrangements on stage.

• Unfiltered Backstage Stories: Timmy and Cory open up about the highs, lows, and chaotic moments of the Melbourne music scene.

This week on Unfiltered & Undiscovered, Curly, Braggy, and Rossy make a trip across the Pacific to tap into the Brooklyn lo-fi scene with songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Daniels, the mastermind behind Inland Years.

Ryan’s musical journey is one of the most fascinating pivots you’ll hear. After coming up in the late-90s heavy underground scene with post-hardcore band Hassan I Sabbah, Ryan shifted gears to craft delicate, tape-saturated indie-folk and jangly pop vignettes—many landing with maximum emotional impact in under two minutes.

In this episode, the boys sit down with Ryan to talk about:

• The Style Shift: Transitioning from the raw, aggressive energy of screamo/post-hardcore to bedroom pop and analog home recording.

• Songwriting Economy: The art of packing complete, earworm hooks into concise 90-second tracks on his album Nowadays.

• Tape Warmth vs. Studio Realism: Tracking between Brooklyn and Pennsylvania on cassette setups versus recording live in a single room through a vintage Neve console for The Bunker Sessions.

• Physical Artifacts: Why he embraces limited physical runs, like 5-inch lathe-cut records, in an era of digital streaming.

Whether you're a gear nerd obsessed with analog saturation or a songwriter looking to simplify your craft, this chat is packed with honest insights, studio chat, and zero filter.

This week on Unfiltered & Undiscovered, Curly, Braggy, and Rossy head down to the deep American South to chat with singer-songwriter, author, and engineer Martin Andrew Lowery.

Hailing from just north of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Martin combines raw Southern rock, country grit, and acoustic storytelling with a deeply personal narrative. Having faced his own battles with recovery and personal transformation, Martin uses his music as a candid blueprint to support others walking the line toward healing—all while taking a hands-on, engineering approach to tracking and self-producing his songs.

In this episode, the boys sit down with Martin to discuss:

• The Muscle Shoals Connection: How growing up near one of the world's most legendary music hubs shaped his sound, rhythm, and love for raw, organic tracks.

• Music as a Recovery Tool: The story behind his raw track "Same Road" and the courage it takes to share vulnerable, unfiltered recovery stories with the world.

• The Engineer's Mindset: How he balances his background in engineering with the intuitive, emotional side of writing country and Southern rock tunes.

• Faith & Self-Reliance: Navigating life as an independent artist, managing digital releases, and staying true to his core beliefs.

From studio gear setups to heavy, honest storytelling, this episode delivers real talk, deep insights, and zero filter

On this episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered, Curly, Braggy, and Rossy sit down with regional NSW singer-songwriter Billy Gudgeon—an independent artist making serious noise across Australia’s country-rock scene.   

From his early days growing up in Gulgong and strumming a ukulele for his grandparents at four years old to tearing up pub stages across regional Australia, Billy has built a reputation for high-octane live performances, heavy guitar grit, and a powerhouse vocal style that draws comparison to 80s Aussie rock icons.

The boys chat about his single "REDLINE", the story behind dusting off long-lost demos with co-writer Shannon Beaumont, and how he’s bridging the gap between heavy heartland rock and classic country storytelling.

• "REDLINE" (Released October 2, 2026)

Joining us on the couch this week is Southern Queensland troubadour Tom Mac. From losing a multi-generational sheep farming property in regional Victoria to years of roaming the open road, Tom’s life is a journey back to the heartland—not through a geographic location, but through raw, unfiltered storytelling.

Now settled in Southern Queensland, Tom brings a fresh sound to Australian music, uniquely fusing contemporary coastal country with the unmistakable resonance of the didgeridoo.

In this episode, Curly, Braggy, and Rossy sit down with Tom to talk through his artistic evolution, tracking through early releases like Aware and the open-road freedom of Nomadic, right through to his deeply moving new single, Brave.

Written before he had even met his partner’s children, Brave is a soaring country-rock anthem that captures the vulnerability, uncertainty, and triumph of stepping into a blended family. Tom breaks down what it takes to write with that level of emotional honesty, recording in a home studio during its final days, and how finding love meant accepting he’d never be number one—and learning that real love doesn't ask to be.

Real talk, fresh sounds, and zero filter.

In this episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered, we sit down with modern soul visionary Anthony Llewellyn. Operating under his defining tagline, "Timeless Soul. Global Sound," Anthony is redefining R&B by stepping away from short-lived trends to craft expansive, concept-driven music chapters.

We dive deep into the architecture of his catalogue—tracing his journey from the raw vocal focus of Just a Man on the Mic to the rich arrangements of his album The Balladeer. Anthony breaks down his creative process, balancing his gospel roots with operatic scale and big-band influences, and shares what it takes to design live experiences tailored for intimate, high-end spaces like his 7 Flights 100 Nights tour. Plus, we talk about his upcoming high-profile collaborations with Pharrell Williams, Scott Storch, and Kanye West.

Key Discussion Points

The Blueprint of "Chapters": Why Anthony organizes his discography as distinct, narrative eras rather than isolated single releases.

High-Powered Alignments: Integrating distinct producer styles without losing his signature baritone identity.

Redefining the Live Experience: How the 7 Flights 100 Nights performance format prioritizes mood, setting, and intimate connection.

Featured Songs in This Episode

"Body of the Church" (feat. Nph'Elihm) – From the album [The Balladeer]A raw, soul-stirring track that bridges deep-rooted gospel harmonies with contemporary vocal arrangements.

"Lets Make a Baby" – From the album [The Balladeer]A standout cut showcasing Anthony's smooth baritone vocals, romantic storytelling, and classic R&B sensibility.
