Trusty ChordsEpisode 82: John Gourley – Portugal. The ManI'll be honest when I say that there's a good chance a lot of folks who appear on this podcast are unknown by large portions of the listenership. That's not a bad thing, of course, since it helps promote discovery and all that sort of thing.However, there's another very good chance that this week's guest is one that you do know, especially given he's the first Grammy Award-winner (that I know of) to appear on this podcast. That person is John Gourley, the co-founder of Alaskan rock outfit Portugal. The Man.

Trusty ChordsEpisode 81: 360It's been about two decades now since the world of Australian hip-hop welcomed Matt Colwell, otherwise known as 360, onto the scene. A rapper with a flair for mixing genuineness with wry humour and slick rhymes, 360 rose to wider fame in 2011 with the release of his 'Falling & Flying' album. Reaching No. 4 on the ARIA charts, it saw him take home two ARIA Awards from the ten nominations he received that year. His 'Boys Like You' single would hit No. 3, and his next two albums – 2014's 'Utopia' and 2017's 'Vintage Modern' – would...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 76: Daniel Devlin – The Belair Lip BombsThere's a very good chance that one of Australia's next big rock bands is going to be The Belair Lip Bombs.Hailing from Frankston in Victoria, The Belair Lip Bombs aren't exactly from a massive musical metropolis, but that hasn't stopped them thriving.First formed in 2017, the quartet issued a pair of EPs ahead of their 2023 debut album, 'Lush Life,' which arrived to widespread acclaim. Since then, things have been looking up even more for the group, with an appearance at the South By Southwest music conference garnering...

Alongside numerous albums and myriad live performances, The Drones took home awards like the inaugural Australian Music Prize, while 'Shark Fin Blues' was voted the best Australian song by contemporary songwriters.While...

Since then, it's been stunning to see them continuously drop stellar pieces of incendiary post-punk, deliver amazing live shows, and even find themselves supporting names like Interpol, Bloc Party, and more.Needless to say, it's always...

That might sound grandiose, but given he's spent more than 25 years as a guitarist for local legends You Am I, it's hard to classify him any other way.Joining the already-established outfit at just the age of 18, Lane swiftly found himself as part of Aussie music royalty, eventually going on to be part of ARIA Award-winning releases and countless revered live shows.He's also stretched his musical wings with his other band, The...

That solo gear first took form under the moniker Adeline before he decided to use his real name around 20 years ago.Since then, he's been a prolific artist, writing a...

Focusing on one of Australia's most enigmatic bands, This Is Serious Mum (better known as TISM), Jenke forms an analysis of the anonymous, pseudonymous Melbourne collective's rise to prominence and unlikely success on the popular music charts with their third album, Machiavelli and the Four Seasons (1995).

Whether it's trying new things on the writing or recording front, or simply looking towards myriad artists for inspiration, it's easy to see they're a group who aren't happy to stay in one lane.Indeed, these past few years have seen the group slowly grow and evolve with each and every release, with EPs such as 'Weekends' and 'Patchwork' now giving way to their debut album, 'Politics & Footy Tips...

Initially beginning as something of a solo project for Crystal Choi, it swiftly expanded, bringing together a group of stellar artists to form what we now know today as Phoebe Rings.Of course, if you look a bit closely, you might recognise some of the a...

Thanks to releases like the 'Denial Feels So Good' EP, 'One Fell Swoop,' and 'No Really, I'm Fine,' the group managed to make a name for themselves as one of the finest groups in the genre.

Trusty ChordsEpisode 54: Chris Penney – Private FunctionWhen it comes to explaining Private Function in just a few short paragraphs, there's a lot of difficulty at play. After all, they're a Melbourne punk outfit who have been around for close to a decade now, pumping out blistering tunes while employing a visceral sense of humour as they use their platform to succeed in the rock world while simultaneously turning the genre back on itself and laughing at it.Over the years, they've released albums like their Metallica-referencing debut 'St. Anger' and '370HSSV 0773H,' which w...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 50: Jesse Coulter – GrenadiersThere’s no denying the fact that Adelaide is just one of those cities that can’t help itself but breed amazing bands. Sure, you can look at groups like The Angels, Cold Chisel, and more, but why not look at groups like Stolen Youth, The Rivalry, Sleeptalker, and Dick Wolf?They’re also amazing bands, and for the trainspotters amongst us, you might recognise that those bands have one constant thread, and that’s Jesse Coulter.

This promise that triple j saw soon exploded in 1999, with tracks such as ‘Weir’ and ‘Mascara’ serving as an indicator of what was to come on their debut album, ‘Reflector.’‘Reflector’ was a...

Keeler – Death From Above 1979, MSTRKRFTThere was a period of time in the early ‘00s when one of the most exciting bands in the game was Canada’s own Death From Above. Well, that’s what they were called at first, but by the time they released their debut album ‘You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine,’ Sebastien Grainger and Jesse F. Keeler had lengthened their name to Death From Above 1979 due to a lawsuit.But that didn’t detract from that album becoming a ferocious piece of work, with tracks like 'Romantic Rights,' 'Blood...

On the prehistoric side of things, there’s bands such as Tall Stories and I Can Run, and then there’s a rather well-known group called TISM. That’s probably the band he’s best known for, with the group’s anonymous, pseudonymous members releasing six albums, and nabbi...

Though not exactly trailblazers of the screamo and post-hardcore genre in the city, for a while, they were arguably one of the most prominent, setting themselves apart as a leading figure within those circles at a time when the genre du jour was a breezy indie-rock.Personally, Raccoon City were one of those groups that became rather formative for me during the time I would find myself at gigs in Adelaide. They were a...

An influential presence in the world of post-punk, the group's short tenure resulted in a handful of well-regarded albums before they split in the early '80s. Soon, B...

That band is Street Legal, a group whose sound might be rooted in the romanticism of ‘80s sonics and nostalgia, but heavily progressive, and boasting an approach to their music which is cutting edge, forceful, and – above all – a lot of fun.Having first made their recorded debut in...

By 1994, Hersh had kicked off a solo career, and in 19...

After all, as she says; new name, new her, new era.But for years, Beth has been a vital part of the Melbourne music scene, with an irresistible combination of earnest lyricism, power-pop melodies, and a punk attitude resulting in a sound that is – for folks like myself, at least – impossible to ignore.You might...

Around the turn of the century, The D4 were one of the more prominent rock outfits emerging from New Zealand, with debut album ‘6Twenty’ arriving as an all-killer, no filler example of what the band do best.
Before long, they were a bit of a sensation around the world, with the gro...

If you’ve been listening to Australian music over the last decade, then I’m pretty sure you would’ve heard them at some point.
First formed in 2015, Slowly Slowly released their first album in 2016, but soon turned heads thanks to 2018's ‘St. Leonards’ after they signed to the UNFD la...

After all, they’ve been around for over 30 years now, and whenever anyone imagines an Australian alternative band, it’s a band like Screamfeeder they’re thinking of.
Loud, melodic, critically-acclaimed, and commercially-overlooked, Screamfeeder commands an intense fanbase, and you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone with a bad word to say about them.
While records like 1996’s ‘Kitten Licks’ are a brilliant example of the sort of music...

Sure, he’s released a handful of EPs and albums over the years (including 2014’s ‘Sea Of Approval’) and he’s shared plenty of wonderful songs, such as 'Dog' (with Lisa Mitchell), 'Baby I Am Nobody Now', 'Talk Too Much', and much more, but it feels like he’s a little more accomplished than just a regular artist.

Trusty ChordsEpisode 33: Jamie Hutchings – Bluebottle Kiss, Infinity BrokeFor lovers of Australian music, the name Jamie Hutchings would be a familiar one.
Most notably, he’s known as the frontman of Sydney rock outfit Bluebottle Kiss, who lasted for 14 years and issued a raft of amazing records before their split in 2007. They’ve been called “Arguably Australia's most idiosyncratic guitar band,” and their music is arguably not as marketable as critics would like it to be, but Jamie isn’t exactly someone who puts that high on his list of priorities.
Since Bluebottle Kiss split, he’s continued wit...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 32: Mac McCaughan – Superchunk, Portastatic, Merge RecordsIf you’re someone with a fondness for indie music, then the chances are good that your life has been touched in some way by Mac McCaughan.
On one hand, he’s known as the vocalist for the likes of North Carolina band Superchunk, whose very output feels like the blueprint for any aspiring indie rock band of the ‘90s. Then, he’s been the head of groups like Portastatic, and played in the likes of Bricks, Seam, Go Back Snowball, and much, much more.
However, if none of those na...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 31: Dave McCormack – Custard, The Titanics, The PolaroidsI think it’s fair to say that my music taste would not be what it is without Dave McCormack.
Hailing from Brisbane, McCormack is the prolific musician best known as the frontman for beloved alt-rock outfit Custaro… uh, Custard.
Together, the group are best known for classic tracks like 'Apartment', 'Girls Like That (Don't Go For Guys Like Us)', and 'Music Is Crap', along with other exceptional tunes such as 'Hit Song', 'Nice Bird', 'Ringo (I Feel Like)', 'Anatomically Correct', and... well just about the whole discography.

Trusty ChordsEpisode 30: Chit Chat Von Loopin Stab/Glenn Dormand – Machine Gun FellatioIf you found yourself listening to the so-called ‘alternative music’ coming out of Australia across the late ‘90s and early ‘00s, then you very well might have listened to Machine Gun Fellatio.
As their name might indicate, controversy was a bit of a staple for the group throughout their career, but another thing that was a constant was the quality of their music.
Firstly, it’s worth pointing out that Machine Gun Fellatio are an interesting, yet very accomplished band. By the time that they made their debut in 1997, members su...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 29: ILUKAIf you’ve been listening to music over the last decade, then the name ILUKA might be one you’ve come across. After all, when you give even a cursory listen to her music, it’s easy to see why her profile has been rising so rapidly in recent years.
Born in Australia but now based in America, ILUKA grew up playing music, with this love being fostered by classic names like Stevie Nicks and Janis Joplin – all of which are names often used in descriptors of her own music.
But he...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 28: Jon Toogood – Shihad, The AdultsIt’s the standard story that any band goes through. You’re watching a David Lynch adaptation of a Frank Herbert novel when you decide to name your band after a word you heard during the film, only to misspell it, and before you know it, you’re one of the most successful bands to ever come out of New Zealand.
Of course, if you recognised the story I just told you, then you’re either Shihad’s Jon Toogood, or someone else I really want to have on this podcast. But in the case of th...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 27: Jenna McDougall – Hevenshe, Tonight AliveFor as long as I’ve loved music, I’ve loved that sort of music that connects with people for so many different reasons. When I was in my teenage years, I discovered a Sydney band called Tonight Alive, who managed to find themselves as one of the more prominent purveyors of pop-punk out of Australia.
Across four amazing albums over the span of seven years, Tonight Alive found themselves dishing out songs that were heavy yet sweet, and fun yet serious, offering fans the world over (including a strong following in the famously hard...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 26: Tom Lanyon – CeresFans of the Melbourne music scene were this year excited to hear about the return of Ceres. For those playing along at home, it’s a pretty exciting prospect to have them back in our lives, especially given that they effectively disappeared at the end of 2019, leaving fans to wonder what the future held.
After making their debut with ‘I Don't Want To Be Anywhere But Here’ in 2014, Ceres followed it up in 2016 with ‘Drag It Down On You’, and again making magic happen with 2019’s ‘We Are A Team’. Blending emo, indie rock, and alternative...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 25: Jordan Dreyer – La DisputeIn the world of post-hardcore bands, it’s often easy to find groups which feel as though they follow the paths and trends crafted by the trailblazers before them. Then, of course, there’s groups like La Dispute.
Formed in 2004 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the US group have been hard at it for two decades now, garnering critical acclaim with almost every move they make.
Following a series of EPs and singles, La Dispute released their debut album back in 2008, with their first Australian show following the next year.

Trusty ChordsEpisode 24: Darren Cross – D.C Cross, Jep And Dep, GerlingWhen it comes to prolific, diverse, and unafraid musicians, it’s a little hard to look past the unstoppable Darren Cross.
If that name doesn’t sound familiar right off the bat, then you might remember him as one third of the enigmatic Sydney outfit Gerling. Formed back in the early ‘90s, Gerling were hard to pin down. Beginning with a blending of alternative rock and noise, they soon incorporated more electronic elements into their work and – as Darren puts it – started doing full-on house music.
I’ll tell anyone that ‘Children Of Telepathic Experiences’ is a must-listen...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 23: Jason Katsaras – Hard Rubbish, Big Town, Dead Roo, Burnside MumsThere’s no denying that the Adelaide music scene is one which is equally small and large. Small in the sense of its physical size, but large in just how far and wide its influence reaches thanks to the talented, welcoming people who comprise it.
One of those people is Jason Katsaras, a musician whose influence over the last decade is still felt despite his current absence from his hometown.
If you’ve been a regular of the classic SA venues, then you very well might have seen him as a member of bands like Burn...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 22: Felicity CrippsIf you’ve spent a bit of time in Melbourne venues over the years, then there’s a good chance you might have come across the wonderful Felicity Cripps.
For most people, Felicity would have landed on your radar as a member of Houlette back in the day, which soon evolved into the three-piece band Hoy. As time went on though, Felicity kept evolving, with music under her own name arriving before too long.
In fact, it was in 2016 we were introduced to the Felicity Cripps Band, a nascent vehicle for its namesakes own musical idea...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 21: Jake Bicchieri & Neve Tullberg – Echo Social ClubI’m going to be completely transparent right from the start and tell you that I am entirely biassed when it comes to today’s artist. This week, I am talking about Echo Social Club, a Melbourne rock duo who I have been completely enraptured by since I first saw them live in early 2023.
Featuring former Pseudo Mind Hive and The Hum Drums member Jake Bicchieri on guitar and vocals, and former Heavy Amber member Neve Tullberg on drums and occasional vocals, the pair are a ferocious mix of blistering rock that have left me s...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 20: Caiti BakerSome of my favourite artists are those who do so much amazing work yet often find themselves flying under the radar. While I’m a huge proponent of the fact that they should all be household names due to their exceptional output, they continue to operate as well-kept secrets, beloved by their diehard fans.
A great example of this is the wonderful Caiti Baker. For years now, Caiti has been crafting some truly amazing music. For example, she was one half of Sietta with partner James Mangohig (otherwise known as Kuya James), and after a...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 19: Ben Simpson – Chavez CartelIf you’ve been paying attention to artists coming out of the Gold Coast over the last six years, then you might have come across Chavez Cartel.
A five-piece alternative rock band, Chavez Cartel wasted almost no time in making a name for themselves on a local scale. Releasing a handful of singles in their debut year, the band shared both the ‘Lucky, Lucky’ and ‘Confidence Is All I’m Taking Home’ EPs in 2019.
Alongside a long list of live shows and festival slots, their profile continued to rise, with a COVID-inspired silence being ended by the ‘Man’s...

Trusty ChordsBonus Episode 4: Alexia Roditis & Violet Mayugba – Destroy BoysI feel it’s rather customary for me to say that if you’re a fan of bands who blend genres like garage rock, punk rock, and hardcore punk, then I know exactly a band you should be listening to. That band, my friends, is California’s Destroy Boys.
Formed in late 2015 by Violet Mayugba and Alexia Roditis, Destroy Boys took influence from all manner of classic punk and rock bands to craft something that is entirely unique. It’s a little hard to categorise too. While they’ve been compared to countless other bands out there – including th...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 18: Alex Laska & Fergus Linacre – KingswoodIf you’re someone who enjoys a bit of rock music and you haven’t found yourself listening to Kingswood at some point over the last decade or so, then you need to change that immediately.
Formed in Melbourne around the late 2000s, Kingswood wasted no time in letting their music get heard by the world. Following a self-titled EP in 2010, and their ‘Change Of Heart’ EP in 2012, a competition run by triple j Unearthed to play the iconic Splendour In The Grass festival shot the band to wider fame that very same year.
In 2014, they rel...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 17: Jo Gardiner & Niam Hegarty – Dental PlanWhen it comes to Melbourne indie/alternative/punk bands, I would say that I’m in a pretty good position to talk about Dental Plan.
First formed in 2018 by guitarist and vocalist Niam Hegarty, bassist and occasional vocalist Jo Gardiner, and drummer Stu Young, the band kicked off writing, recording, and gigging pretty quickly, establishing a respectable fanbase around the city as they did so.
Following their self-titled 2018 EP, they group released a single in 2019, before emerging from the depths of COVID in 2021 with ‘Hole In Me’, a track which saw Rolling Stone Australia label them a...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 16: Jim Reid – The Jesus And Mary ChainThe world of alternative rock would likely not be anywhere close to what it is today without bands like The Jesus And Mary Chain. Forming in Glasgow back in 1983 by brothers Jim and William Reid, the Scottish outfit are these days considered to be pioneers of genres like alternative rock, shoegaze, and noise-pop. Combining these genres with their own unique take on post-punk and indie-rock, and you’ve got a recipe for something that feels impossible to describe.
Having emerged from a world in which punk rock and pop music had reigned supreme, The Jesus And Mary Ch...

Ever since the Persian musician moved to Auckland at eight years old, she’s been a firm fan of hip-hop, and as her creativity flourished, so too did she become involved within the world of music, crafting her own unique blend of beats, lyrics, and aesthetics.
Alongside the classic tenets of hip-hop, you can find CHAII dropping in flavours of her own cultural identity, whether it be by way of the Pe...

However, the band’s history can actually be traced back quite some years, with Matt’s career as a songwriter beginning with a casual appearance of one of his tracks on the beloved TV show ‘Skins’. Fast-forward a few years and a few bands, and now Tors have been continuing on their world-beating...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 13: Frank Carter & Dean Richardson – Frank Carter & The RattlesnakesFor the majority of the last 20 years, one of the most explosive performers on the music scene has been Frank Carter. Unassuming with his short stature and red hair, Frank burst onto the scene as a member of Gallows back in 2005, blowing away everyone with his intense stage presence and mesmerisingly powerful voice.
After six years with Gallows, Frank left to form Pure Love, an alternative rock band that slightly eased off the pedal of intensity that we’d previously seen. After a few years there, Frank partnered with Heights guitarist Dean Richardson to form yet another ne...

Trusty ChordsEpisode 12: CJ Ramone – the Ramones, Me First & The Gimme GimmesIf you’ve only heard of one punk band, it’s likely the Ramones. After all, they pretty much wrote the book on the leather-jacketed aesthetic, and the musical delivery of short, sharp, and punchy songs that influenced the genre’s earliest years, and is still heard to this day.
Though all of the band’s founding members have long since passed, their lineup wasn’t static for their existence, and in 1989, they were joined by a young bass player named Christopher Joseph Ward. Of course, he was better known as CJ Ramone, which is exactly how I introduc...

That much is certainly true for this week’s artist, Lancaster duo The Lovely Eggs. Comprising married couple Holly Ross and David Blackwell, The Lovely Eggs have been going for 18 years now, having played their first gig in New York back in 2006.
Since then, phrases like ‘little known’, ‘underrated’, and ‘underground heroes’ have all been bandied about when describing the pair. This shouldn’t particularly come as any surprise though, especially given the way they conduct t...

In fact, they’ve probably played more live shows in this country than you’ve had hot dinners. That might sound impressive, but it’s all the more admirable given they’re a Canadian outfit who have been on the scene since 1990.
Formed by Jeff Martin, Jeff Burrows, and Stuart Chatwood (who apparently didn’t get the memo regarding his name), The Tea Party made a name for themselves thanks to their unique musician style they’ve dubbed ‘Moroccan-roll’.

Trusty ChordsEpisode 10: Dave Powys – The Paper KitesThe Australian music industry has long had a habit of churning out some great artists who manage to curate an intense and fanatical fanbase around the world thanks to the wonderful music that they create.
If anyone understands what it’s like to have a massive fanbase, it’s likely Dave Powys, who has been the guitarist and a multi-instrumentalist with Melbourne indie-folk group The Paper Kites since 2010.
If you know The Paper Kites for any reason, it’s possibly due to their 2010 single ‘Bloom’, which managed to do what Aussie bands only dream of, and went Pl...

That is to say, he deems it to be pretty bloody important.
In fact, in addition to a solo career, Kevin’s been a member of bands like Infind, Delusion (who later renamed themselves Miracle Of 86), and Bad Books (which features members of Manchester Orchestra), plus he’s also got a pretty fruitful solo career, both under hi...

Their discography includes the likes of their classic debut ‘Tu-Plang’, the highly-decorated ‘Unit’, and other brilliant records like ‘…art’, ‘Mish Mash’, and more.

Ever since they formed back in 1994, they’ve spent much of that time writing amazing songs, touring relentlessly, and carving out their own unique niche which has equally seen them considered an enduring pillar of American punk, incredibly influential, and – in the very same breath – wholly underrated.

Across their career though, they’ve scored numerous top ten records, received five ARIA Award nominations, taken home eight West Australian Music Industry Awards, and even been inducted into the latter’s Hall Of Fame.
