Ahead of their mammoth 22-date national album tour for October - December, I chatted to Maz from WAAX on their latest album ‘Atleast I’m Free’, with the tour kicking off this coming week on October 6.

“You might consider At Least I’m Free something like a second debut album for WAAX — a creative and emotional rebirth that’s resulted in some of the band’s finest, punchiest songs ever” and that’s exactly what this ep is all about. Songwriting, hardships, mental health, industry struggles, and coming out the other side. Enjoy.

Madi is a long-time friend and live events and boudoir photographer and model, who started out down here in VIC and has moved up to Brisbane to follow her passions. Having covered locals like Tonight Alive, Trophy Eyes, Northlane, The Amity Afflication and internationals such as All Time Low, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, Good Charlotte, and Mayday Parade, moving up in the world with her business, Madi is one to watch!

Another short one, this time with Mikaila Delgado from Sydney ‘alternative bright lights’, Yours Truly.

Their new EP ‘is this what I look like’ comes out next Friday July 15th and in this episode we go over the background of the EP and prior releases, the surprise video debut for ‘Lights On’ at Unify 2022, working with Josh Franceschi from You Me At Six for ‘Hallucinate’, Mikaila’s fem-focussed collab wishlist, rebranding their feeds for new releases, and we touch on feelings of imposter syndrome & mental health, and how that’s changing over time for Mikaila and the band.

This episode we've got another all girl party, with Jaz Yates from JY Management Group and 'Your Music, Your Business' podcast, talking about mental health, cancel culture, artist management, and "proving how being a young, entrepreneurial, and driven woman comes with strength & mistakes."

Moaning Lisa give us the low on their latest album release 'Something Like This But Not This', touring plans, living and gigging in Canberra, their experiences and focusses on gig etiquette and social activism, and of course, their 'BIG 3' star signs (the important stuff, we know).

CW: I do another little intro at the start of the actual interview but I just wanted to pop in here and mention a sensitive content warning. In the first few minutes into chatting with Carla, about the 2-3 minute mark, we do briefly talk about mental health (as usual), but we also mention suicide, so just be prepped for that.

Otherwise, welcome to this funky, albeit short, episode with Sydney indie pop artist Carla Wehbe!

This is more of a mini episode where we chat to Harper Bloom about her upcoming debut EP ‘Faith, Sex and Skin’, and we go over current and past life struggles, mental health, what she’s up to at the moment, how the writing and recording process has been for her during isolation, and a few other casual pop-culture chats.

In this episode we’re talking to local emerging artist YARA about her new release ‘Manhater’, her experiences as not just a woman but also a person of colour in the music industry - and life in general, and her personal experiences and perspective on physical and mental health as someone dealing with PCOS and depression.

In this episode, we’re talking to Australian musician and industry pro, Laura Imbruglia from Music Victoria. We talk about her personal development as an artist and industry professional, working in event and video production and marketing, the music Victoria awards, and of course her Australian favourites.

In this episode we chat to Lydia Greenwood from Social State Entertainment, all about her experiences as a booking agent and her various roles throughout her career across the Australian and international music industries. We mull over her origins in New Zealand and America, her music and design industry work, and a bunch of other amazing women in the local industry!
