Hello, and welcome to The BackBeat Podcast!

The BackBeat Podcast aims to bring the behind the scenes of the Australian music industry to the audience with an entertaining yet honest and transparent look into all facets of the industry, all while bringing new local Australian music to new ears.

In this episode, we catch up with Jess Hope and Jay Wennington from Don’t Fret Club and Bad Seed. Jess and Jay are partners in crime in more ways than one, running multiple businesses within the music and media industries, and give us the low-down on everything they’ve been up to over the years. From their first gigs and first time meeting to their first business (ad)ventures in music, fashion, journalism, photography and film, marketing, mental health, their paw-pal Vinnie, and their moves from London to Australia, we chat about it all!

(Psst. If you’ve been paying attention you’ll also notice that Jahmiele is proudly wearing one of the amazing Don’t Fret Ringer Tees in her Profile Piece picture!)

We’re still learning the ropes so there may be a few editing and quality hiccups, forgive us, but listen ‘til the end to find out who our first official guest will be, have a laugh with us, and enjoy!
