In this episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered, Curly, Braggy, and Rossy sit down for an unfiltered chat with Newcastle-based country-pop singer-songwriter Kylie Jane.
From her early days competing on the high-pressure showjumping circuit to grinding out four to five live gigs a week, Kylie has built a reputation as one of the hardest-working independent performers around. We dive deep into her experience on The Voice Australia, her debut album Black Swan, and the studio heart-to-heart with producer Jake Davey that completely scrapped her original recording plans and birthed her soaring new anthem, "Seasons Changing."

What does it take to forge a career in country music across three continents? In this episode, we sit down with tri-continental country artist Robert Ross—a 11-year Canadian Army veteran, Australian citizen, and current Nashville resident.
Robert opens up about his journey from hearing his mother sing around their home in New Brunswick to topping the Australian Airplay charts with "Jack Daniels" and working alongside Grammy-winning producer Gil Grand on his sophomore album, Better With Time. We discuss how over a decade of military service shaped his "worn denim" songwriting style, the stories behind his Josie Music Award-nominated singles, and the comfort behind his legacy track "Don't You Cry."

She’s no stranger to the Unfiltered & Undiscovered couch, but this week Chloe Marks is back—and she brought the entire crew with her! Brisbane’s own Chloe Marks & The Mayhem pull up to chat with Curly, Braggy, and Rossy about their highly anticipated debut album, Bright Lights Late Nights.
We dive headfirst into the raw human stories behind the music: from navigating single motherhood while writing through tough personal transitions, to watching a bandmate face a brutal "music or the relationship" ultimatum that inspired their fiery single, “Don’t Make Me Choose.” Plus, the band breaks down their live-in-the-studio recording process, share the backstory of an 11-year-old song resurrected on a $400 guitar, and explain why they chose to end their record with a raw, unedited studio demo full of band banter.
In This Episode:
🎸 Don’t Make Me Choose: The true story behind the ultimatum song and why the band recorded it live in one room.
💔 Vulnerability & Grit: Chloe on single motherhood, writing "Break Some Hearts," and putting pure honesty into "What A Broken Heart Makes You Do."
🪕 The Story of 'Ayodele': How an 11-year-old song and a $400 guitar brought joy back into the studio.
🤠 The Fun Side of Mayhem: Balancing heavy emotional tracks with tongue-in-cheek cowboy anthems like "Wild" (featuring Jake Hill).
🎙️ Full-Circle Moments: Closing out the album with the original studio demo of "Carolina."Follow & Support Chloe Marks & The Mayhem:

In this episode, we sit down with Australian blues singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sam Buckley. After spending over two decades as a high-caliber sideman and lead guitarist—most notably with Melbourne's award-winning outfit Dreamboogie—Sam stepped out from behind the lead guitar role to stake his claim as a solo frontman.
We dive deep into his journey: growing up on a 100-acre farm playing church jams with his dad, logging over 110,000 kilometers in a motorhome on the Australian festival circuit, and recording his debut solo album Blue Ocean at Memphis' legendary Royal Studios with producer Lester Snell. Sam also breaks down the technical dynamic of his solo rig, creating a full-band experience ground-up through foot percussion, acoustic rhythm switching, and electric lead layering—all without backing tracks.

Tonight on Unfiltered and Undiscovered, we sit down with Brad Christmas, frontman for the acclaimed Australian country-rock outfit Copperline. We dive deep into the band's new single, "FOMO," an upbeat, 60s-rock-tinged anthem that flips modern distraction on its head to celebrate the joy of missing out and living in the present.
Brad breaks down the creative process behind their forthcoming third studio album, Sleepwalking, produced alongside multi-ARIA and Golden Guitar winner Shane Nicholson. Plus, we discuss Brad’s fascinating life outside the band—from touring Australasia with disco legends Boney M to writing his ABIA-nominated debut novel, Saltwater Boy.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
The origin story behind "FOMO" and why choosing present-moment clarity is the ultimate antidote to modern noise.
Working with veteran producer Shane Nicholson at Shelter Studios and experimenting with new sonic textures.
The evolution of Copperline’s sound across their three studio albums.
Upcoming NSW show dates for the Sleepwalking album release.

This week on Unfiltered & Undiscovered, we sit down with Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist Jack Biilmann for a conversation that goes well beyond the music.
Jack has built a reputation for blending blues, roots, rock and country influences, but it's his newer material — and the darker, more self-deprecating side of his songwriting — that really gives us something to dig into.
We explore where those lyrics come from, what happens when you turn the spotlight inward, and whether songwriting can become a way of confronting the parts of yourself you'd rather keep hidden.
But this conversation isn't just about writing songs.
Jack opens up about the reality of being an independent artist — the challenges, the compromises, the persistence required to keep creating, performing and building an audience without the machinery of a major label behind you.
And, because this is Unfiltered & Undiscovered, there are a few surprises along the way.
👀 Several scoops emerge during the conversation, giving us some insight into what's happening behind the scenes and where Jack's musical journey might be heading next.
It's honest, revealing, occasionally dark, and packed with the kind of conversation we love having on the show.
In this episode:
🎵 The evolution of Jack's songwriting
🖤 The darker themes appearing in his newer music
🪞 Self-deprecating lyrics and looking inward
🎸 The freedom — and challenges — of being an independent artist
💰 The realities of making a living from music
🚐 Touring, performing and building an audience
🔥 What's happening with Jack Biilmann & The Black Tide
👀 A few Unfiltered & Undiscovered scoops
🎶 And where Jack's music is heading next
This isn't just a conversation about the songs. It's a conversation about the person writing them.
Due to Copyright, we are unable to feature Jack’s music in this episode.

Saralyn is back on Unfiltered & Undiscovered for her second appearance, and once again, she delivers the kind of honest, heartfelt conversation that reminds us why we love discovering the stories behind the music.
This time, the focus is firmly on “GOLDLINE”, Saralyn's deeply personal new single and the title track of her forthcoming debut EP.
“GOLDLINE” is more than another country song. It is a deeply personal reflection on loss, love, heartbreak, healing and hope, tracing the invisible thread that can carry us through life's darkest moments towards something brighter.
For Saralyn, that story begins with the devastating loss of her sister and grows into a reflection on the challenges, experiences and defining moments that have shaped her journey.
🎵 The Story Behind “GOLDLINE”
Saralyn describes “GOLDLINE” as the most personal song she has ever written.
In our conversation, she opens up about the inspiration behind the song and what it meant to take some of the most difficult experiences of her life and turn them into music.
It's a powerful reminder that sometimes the hardest chapters of our lives can become part of something meaningful.
🎸 Bringing “GOLDLINE” to Life
We talk about the recording process, the people who helped bring the song to life, and why this particular track feels so special to Saralyn.
💿 What's Next for Saralyn?
“GOLDLINE” is just the beginning.
Saralyn gives us a glimpse into what is coming next, with her debut EP, GOLDLINE, set to be launched in Tamworth.
The EP brings together songs exploring themes of resilience, love, freedom and purpose, giving listeners a much deeper insight into Saralyn's story and her evolution as an artist.
And if this episode is anything to go by, there's plenty more to come.
❤️ Another Amazing Conversation
This is Saralyn's second visit to Unfiltered & Undiscovered, and it feels like catching up with an old friend.
There's laughter, honesty, emotion and plenty of music talk as we get to know the person behind the songs a little better.
Most importantly, we discover the story behind a song that means an enormous amount to Saralyn.
“GOLDLINE” is personal. It's emotional. And it's a reminder that even through life's hardest moments, there can still be a thread pulling us forward.
🎧 Listen to the Episode
Listen to our second conversation with Saralyn and discover the story behind “GOLDLINE”, the forthcoming GOLDLINE EP, and what's next for one of Australia's exciting emerging country artists.
