Super good time on this week's episode chatting with Campbell and Lewis from King Stingray! King Stingray are truly one of the country's hottest bands at the moment - appearing on triple j's Like a Version a couple weeks back, playing at Splendour in the Grass yesterday, and releasing their debut record on August 5th - they're busy boys but made time for us. We talk about a couple of Aus records with Bernard Fanning's solo debut 'Tea & Sympathy' going up against 'Affirmation' by Savage Garden! Enjoy.

Jimmy Vann is the singer and guitarist of one of Australia's hardest working and consistent band, The Vanns, and he's on the show for a crazy match up! We're talking the beautiful guitar licks of Dire Straits' 1979 self-titled debut against the experimental and dreamy Bon Iver and their third-studio album '22, A Million'. Two very different albums by two very popular bands. Enjoy!

The match up absolutely no one asked for is here! Two of the most loathed bands of all time go head-to-head on today's episode, with Nickelback's 'All The Right Reasons' facing off with 'Human Clay' by Creed. Despite being always mentioned in the conversation of 'worst bands ever', these two records are some of the best selling albums of all time, so they don't care what anyone thinks. But it's fun to talk anyway. Enjoy!

It feels good, feels right and feels like a long-time coming, but we're finally covering one of the most-requested bands for the pod with Parkway Drive's debut record 'Killing With A Smile' going up against Good Charlotte's 2002 pop-punk hit-machine record 'The Young and the Hopeless'! Super stoked to have one of the best blokes in the Australian scene, Joel Martorana, bring these two on. Joel is the frontman for Endless Heights, Peace Ritual, and Colletto Bianco, and is one-half of the game-changing Sydney-based Beast Mode management team. And he can tell a good yarn. Enjoy!

A light rescheduling this week meant we didn't have much time, so we knew we had to choose two albums by two bands that we love dearly - so it was finally time to talk some Oso Oso on the show, against a band we have been mates with for a while now, Jacob! Oso Oso's new record 'Sore Thumb' is up against 'Show Me Some Passion' by Jacob, and there may or may not be a special guest on this ep. Enjoy!

We're chatting Brand New 'The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Of Me' vs. Wu Lyf 'Go Tell Fire To The Mountain' with the great man. Both bands are now defunct for very different reasons, but these two albums are very good, also for different reasons.

Neck Deep's 2015 sophomore effort 'Life’s Not Out To Get You’ is up against The Story So Far's 2013 release 'What You Don’t See’!

It's our first solo episode in a hot minute so we thought we'd take the opportunity to cover some early 00's hip-hop, and at last, we're chatting some Kanye! The man has been in the media lately, and the Netflix doco about his upcoming and debut record 'The College Dropout' is amazing, so we're tossing it against 'The Blueprint' by Jay-Z, where Ye really broke through as a producer. We chat all that good stuff, plus if we may say, our best tattoo designs in a while. Enjoy!

Bloody stoked to have John Floreani, the frontman of one of our favourite bands, Trophy Eyes, on the show this week to chat about a couple of his all-time favourite albums - Touché Amoré 'Parting The Sea Between Brightness and Me' and Alt-J 'An Awesome Wave'! Two albums that are quite different sonically, but both are so impactful in the ways they go about it. We chat about all that good stuff plus half-decent tattoo designs, and a questionable singing performance by Will. Enjoy!

A last minute rescheduling has allowed us to celebrate Christmas in a very obscure and somewhat concerning way. We're talking about two Christmas albums you most likely have not heard around the family table on December 25th - Snoop Dogg 'Christmas In Tha Dogghouse' against Afroman 'A Colt 45 Christmas'! These two records don't really get you in the festive spirit but they are funny as hell and we can't recommend listening to them enough. Enjoy!
