Eugene Hütz of Gogol Bordello and their new record We Mean It, Man! isn't just a clever name. Raised on punk rock and all that came after it in Kyiv, Ukraine, the band - merging punk, gypsy music, techno, post-punk and more - brings electric energy musically and conscious power lyrically.

Eugene reflects on friends fighting on the frontlines in Ukraine, the spiritual resilience of people at war, and what it means to "make life possible again" after devastation. We talk Joe Strummer, Nick Cave, Bernard Sumner, Fela Kuti, post-punk lineage, and the alchemy of working with legendary producer Nick Launay.

From punk scenes in Kyiv built on smuggled tapes with no chronology, to the philosophy of protest, rebuilding after catastrophe, and why beavers may have done more good for the planet than humans - this is a conversation about music as frequency, resistance, inheritance and survival.

Mariachi El Bronx is punk rock band The Bronx's double life expressed through mariachi music - a project that began as a fun experiment and evolved into something far deeper and more meaningful than anyone expected. Frontman Matt Caughthran dives into the wild netherworld of the band's new record Mariachi El Bronx (IV), his personal evolution, love, grief, and why both styles are more than just a sound - they're culture, identity and community.

After 13 years away, Perth progressive powerhouse band Karnivool return with In Verses - a record that once again demonstrates the raw emotion, precision and profound rock power that has made them one of Australia's most beloved rock exports.

In this episode of We Wreck Records, the beloved Aussie rock icons talk about starting out in Australia's most isolated city, the sometimes hilarious making of this exquisite suite of songs, the records that taught them how to feel and why their music is like acupuncture - hitting all the right pressure points for the people that have followed the band for decades.

From "sad boy music" and prog fans quietly weeping in the front row, to the patience required to finish a record on their own terms, this is a grounded, honest conversation about endurance, connection, and why In Verses had to be made.

Swedish progressive metal band SOEN are masters of duality - crushing heaviness and devastating beauty. Their musical proficiency translates into a sound that hits you in the guts. In this episode of We Wreck Records, we're joined by multi-instrumentalist Lars Åhlund to talk about the band's new album Reliance, writing music that holds both darkness and hope, and why it means everything when the toughest guy in the front row is headbanging with tears in his eyes. We also talk about finding your musical home, the power of metal communities, Swedish folk melodies hidden inside heavy riffs, and what it really means to rely on music when the world is feeling things, hard.

Anatomy of Album Covers dives into the emotional and conceptual work behind some of heavy music's most striking imagery. Visual artist Caroline Harrison talks about translating sound into feeling, why discomfort can be beautiful, and how album art becomes an extension of the music itself. From obsessive lyric study and research rabbit holes to themes of anxiety, tenderness, violence, and feminine rage, Caroline breaks down her process, her collaborations with bands, and the personal history embedded in her work. This is a deep, thoughtful conversation about art as emotional regulation, connection, and survival, and why some images are meant to make you feel uneasy before they make you feel understood.
