The Rider, with Becko

Kasey Chambers is nothing short of a national treasure. We as a nation cried and supported her when 'Not Pretty Enough' burst Kasey onto the scene.

It was an anthem people related to and was in so many ways the most unlikely to be a number one hit.

Now her 13th album is out, 'Backbone' which accompanies her book 'Just Don't Be a Dickhead'.

A lot has changed in her life, but this album feels like it crosses all stages of her care...

Unwritten Law burst onto the scene in the late 90s with a fast-paced rock vibe that we all grew up with.

Many years later, a true fan of the band took on the role of Tour Manager and then literally fell into the role of guitarist. This opportunity wasn't taken for granted, in fact it's more of an all-rounder role of Tour Manager, Guitarist, and sometimes babysitter!

Scotty Mac, the Aussie living the dream playing for Unwritten La...

The Jezabels superstar, Hayley Mary is all set to step into her solo persona with the debut album, "Roman XS."

You may have seen the Jezabels rise to fame in the early 2010s, being a festival staple and also the famous residency gigs at Sydney's Lansdown Hotel.

Hayley chose the worst possible time to launch her solo career - right at the beginning of the pandemic, but we finally get our hands on her new album 25 October.

With Oas...

Regurgitator are one of Australia's favourite bands and recently celebrated some huge milestones - 25 years of the album "Unit" and we're not far off from 30 years of "Tu Plang".

You'll see them on the 'Hotter Than Hell' tour, which kicks off 12 October in WA.

You'll hear about the highs and lows of the band, how they got through 'Band in a Bubble' and their unusual connection wi...

Jon Toogood reached legendary status in the NZ music scene many years ago.

Fronting the band Shihad, supergroup 'The Adults' and over 30 years of songwriting, producing and mentoring.

Finally, he has a solo project to his name: ‘Last Of The Lonely Gods’ is a rousing and optimistic 10-track collection that sees Jon back on the acoustic guitar, making meaning of being separated from his mother in lockdown as she passed away,...

Missy Higgins has grown up with all of us and we've grown up with her.

The debut album 'The Sound of White' was mostly written when she was 15 and it was perfect.

Every Missy Higgins album was different moment in our lives, and hers too - from the highs to the lows.

The latest album is 'The Second Act' and it literally is the next step of her life.

Songs from Missy’s eagerly anticipated new album have already...

Birds of Tokyo have returned with a new single, and it's not what you expect - 'Heartbreakers Bar'.

The band haven't lost their sense of humour and you'll hear from Adam that this has been a work in progress for a number of years.

Birds Of Tokyo will stage some unconventional shows in Australia’s favourite rock venues over the coming months. The band will perform an opening set in ‘acoustic busking mode’ foll...

Diesel is the legendary quiet achiever of the Aus music industry - constantly toiling away, touring and recording. You might find it hard to believe his latest album is his 17th!

"Bootleg Melancholy" is out now and the national tour kicks off in late-August.

Diesel is in a great zone, and this conversation - one of many I've had with him over the years would go down as one of his most honest.

We hear how it all hap...

The world was a different place in 2004 when Spiderbait went into the studio, armed with a somewhat crazy idea to cover 'Black Betty'. It was a year over great cover songs including 'Behind Blue Eyes', reworked by Limp Bizkit and we can't forget Shannon Noll's work with 'What About Me' - some kids even think that was the original!?

Spiderbait decided to not just cover the song, but to completely rew...

When you take two of the most respected Aussie musicians of the last 30 years and stick them in a studio - great things happen.

Powderfinger's Bernard Fanning and Something For Kate's Paul Dempsey have given us 'Fanning Dempsey National Park'. (You'll find out why they settled on that name a little later in this episode)

'The Deluge' is finally out and has straight away secured #2 on the ARIA chart.

You'll hear how this project got ...

After 8 years, Empire of The Sun are back with a sensational new album "Ask That God."

Their 4th album has been jam-packed with solid singles you expect from Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore - both songwriting machines.

In this chat with Luke, we delve into the circumstances of the recording of this album and how the setbacks of covid may have assisted their creativity.

The accompanying videos of the singles are visual ...

The Tea Party is one of the great successes of the Canadian music scene.

They burst onto the scene with their 3rd album, "The Edges of Twilight, " bringing them to Australia for the first time. Jeff Martin fell in love with the place and ended up staying!

25 years ago, "Triptych" was released and this tour celebrates this much-loved album.

'The three of us are looking forward to bringing the magic of our fo...

Brisbane band Sheppard's 4th album Zora brings happiness from its first listen. That's typical Sheppard though, it puts you in a better mood and that's exactly what the inspiration was behind the album - their grandmother Zora.

The band are celebrating 10 years of 'Geronimo' - the song that acted like a slingshot and gave them a chance to tour the world.

This has taken them to Nashville, a new home for a band ...

The Eskis make it count when they release new music. It's been five years since their last single and Aussie music fans are incredibly excited at the prospect of more new music from the pride of Fremantle.

They haven't gone away, plenty of touring has been going on including Spring Loaded and more recently the Incubus and Live tour.

The nostalgic "The First Time" is out and the Eskis continue their road trip, ki...

Jebediah have always been a fan favourite since "Slightly Odway" came out in 1997. It certainly doesn't feel like 13 years since their last album Kosciuszko.

OIKS, their sixth album is now out and it feels like they have picked up from where they left off, after over a decade. The fact they have gone into the same studio with producer, Dave Parkin shows that they are after familiar surroundings but prepared to mix up...

We all remember where we were when we heard that debut album for the Living End - usually near a radio when "Prisoner of Society" was released.

That album debuted at number one and stayed in the ARIA chart for 83 weeks - insane by any standards.

25 years since its release, frontman Chris Cheney reflects on the creation of the album: “I think unknowingly our destination was always this; this album right here. All songs le...

Silverchair, born in Newcastle - 3 kids with some incredible talent and passion for making it to the world stage, and they did.

Supported by their parents and the 'two Johns' (manager and record company boss), they became the band aussies were proud of. We saw them play the rooftop in NYC for the MTV VMA's, Rock in Rio and multiple Big Day Outs.

The story from Ben and Chris is now out, their book - 'Love & Pai...

Murray Cook is the most humble music superstar you'll ever meet.

You would never believe he is an 'O.G. Wiggle' speaking to him, but his passion for the music scene is obvious when you start talking about 'the scene' in Sydney in the 70s and 80s.

'Dumb Luck' is his 4th album as part of the Soul Movers, you'll hear his brilliant riffs and even some influences from his favourite band - The Rolling St...

Any band who can survive a 100+ show tour have something special.

Kingswood are a great example of the work ethic Aussie bands are famous for - tour constantly and build an audience.

Their latest album "Home" took them on the road for the "Hometowns tour" and now they head to Europe.

We will hear about 'Peggy' the tour bus and how you survive travelling to each corner of Australia.

This is Fergus (an...
