My Music with Graham Coath – Featuring Effie Finch from Aurelia
Welcome to another episode of My Music with your host Graham Coath, and today he’s joined by Effie, the frontwoman of rising punk outfit Aurelia – the band putting rural rebellion on the map.
Effie shares the band’s mission to be the voice for every young person who’s ever felt stuck in a small town, proving that you can dream big, break out, and bring your community with you. From her roots in the Northumbrian countryside to the windy cliffs of Cornwall and the chaotic buzz of London, Effie tells the story of how Aurelia came together — from chance meetings to beachside drum kits, unexpected dog marathons, and turning life’s messiest moments into music that really matters.
Effie dives deep into the themes behind the band’s sound — tackling toxic beauty standards, mental health struggles, and the pressures facing her generation, all with a mix of fierce energy, satirical bite, and heartfelt storytelling. She even hints at adding choral and dark electronic twists to their future releases, showing just how fearless Aurelia are when it comes to pushing boundaries.
And don’t miss the scoop on their brand new single “My Usual Cure”, landing on Friday 13th June — the perfect spooky date for your next favourite track. Effie’s on a mission to build a community of real fans, so follow, share, and add Aurelia to your playlists to help spread the word. When the live shows start rolling, make sure your bum’s on the seat.
