EPISODE 54: IN HEAVEN WITH HANDS LIKE HOUSES

In this episode I catch up with new Hands Like Houses vocalist, Josh Raven, post-recovery and pre-tour for his first live shows with the band. This might just be my favourite episode yet, as another bucket-list item checked off! We talk all things HLH, including joining the band and transitioning between projects, vocal techniques, moving into new themes and musical styles, collaborating with old and new friends, Josh’s current bookworm reads, and of course preparing for the upcoming tour (starting this week!) and his top 3 current Aussie artists.

In this one, I’m chatting to Ben and James from Melbourne alt-rock band Rumours, who have the launch for their latest single ‘Blood Eagle’ next Friday (July 15) at Cherry Bar. 

A slightly more lighthearted one, where we go over the new release, the upcoming single launch, mental health and supporting each other, dream collaborations, their songwriting process based on their influences and inspirations, and what to expect from them going forward.

Check out this weekend’s sister episode with Yours Truly as well!
