What a Great Punk

This week we're unlocking episode one from our deep dive into the making of each of albums. On the first episode we take it all the way back to 2011 — the GENESIS of TNSW if you will. Our ex-drummer, Luke, joins us to kick things off with our first three EPs. We discuss how we started the band, where the nipple tape came from, our approach to songwriting and live performance, and the DIY-to-the-death nature our early recordings.

In this Patreon exclusive series, we're deep diving into the making of each of albums. On this episode we're joined again by our original drummer, Luke, to discuss the making of our first album, You Work For Us. We dive deep on the songwriting process, where we were at mentally at the time, recording with Dean Tuza in a WWII bunker and and then a Kogan warehouse, and we get into the reason that Luke decided to leave the band.

This week we're joined by Ashton and Kieran from Spacey Jane to chat about their new album "If That Makes Sense" and their absolutely massive upcoming tour., answering Zoom calls from bed, the stupidity of selling out three consecutive Hordens in Sydney, Kieran's one traumatic experience being too drunk to play a show that changed his touring habits forever, avoiding "biohacking" alpha male wellness grifters of the internet, and Ashton's newfound Tom Petty obsession that led to him buying a clear acrylic guitar.

This week on What a Great Punk, we're joined by writer and comedian Izzy Beach to chat about her $1,000 designer Birkenstocks that were "half price," the traumatic memory of filming with food poisoning while wearing a fake pregnant belly, and her narrowly-avoided Good Charlotte tramp stamp that might have been her ticket to fashion influencer fame. Plus: being masochists who enjoy the hollow feeling after saying something vulgar, discovering the humiliation of dry cleaners who can't actually clean anything, and Todd's controversial defense of wearing the same Metallica cut-off singlet to Greece every year. We also somehow manage to go from feeding rainbow lorikeets to American imperialism in less than three minutes.

Bren from Wet Kiss joins us for a chat about the tale of Jezebel the horse tamer, what happens when you write your first song at 14, the frustrations of stage lighting, sneaking into venues through the back door, and we figure out which one of us is the megalomaniac and who's the dumb. Plus, Brenna manages to create history by telling three truths in another unsuccessful game of two truths and a lie.

This week on What a Great Punk, we're joined by Josh and Eamon from The Unknowns (and The Chats) to talk about 2005 Ford Falcons, being booed off a Dutch stage after 24 hours on the piss, and the risk of cracking a stiffy under general anaesthetic. Plus: rock'n'roll bars around the world, CD players making a comeback, and the wild new record they tracked by cranking the amps in a Northcote rehearsal room.
