Our guest this week is Bad//Dreems. The Adelaide rock staples have become one of the country’s most beloved bands over the past 15 years, known for their visceral live shows and unfiltered take on modern Australia, with many fans considering their debut Dogs at Bay a defining Aussie rock record. Today marks a huge and bittersweet moment for the band as they release their new album Ultra Dundee, a gritty, honest snapshot of contemporary Australia that stays true to everything they’ve built. Alongside the release, they’ve announced a national tour and their own Gather Sounds festival, while also revealing plans for an indefinite hiatus. On today’s episode, we’re joined by Alex Cameron and Ben Marwe to talk about Ultra Dundee as both a record and a mindset, how their songwriting has evolved over time, and the realities behind stepping away from the band, at least for now.

Our guest this week is Leigh-Anne. As one third of British girl group Little Mix, she’s spent over a decade in the global spotlight, helping the group sell more than 50 million records and become one of the most successful girl groups of all time. Earlier this year, Leigh-Anne stepped out on her own path with her debut solo album My Ego Told Me To, released in February through an independent label. The record bridges the pop sound fans know her for with dancehall, reggaeton and Caribbean-inspired influences, creating a vibrant and deeply personal debut. On today’s episode, we chat with Leigh-Anne while she’s here in Australia about finding her sonic identity outside of Little Mix, why it was important for her songwriting to be front and centre on My Ego Told Me To, and how she’s thinking about bringing this new era to stages around the world.

Our guest this week is Buzzy Lee. The musical project of Sasha Spielberg, she crafts intimate, emotionally immersive songs that move between singer-songwriter folk and moody indie pop, delivered with a warmth that feels deeply personal.

Last week, she announced her third album, Shoulder to Shoulder, arriving March 27, alongside its dreamlike lead single “Bad Company.” On today’s episode, Sasha joins us to talk about the hazy, cinematic feel of the new track, making the album alongside her husband Harry, her memories of touring Australia with JPEGMAFIA, and how allergies unexpectedly play into her songwriting.

Our guest this week is Meg Mac. One of Australia’s most beloved songwriters and vocalists, she’s built her career on powerhouse soul vocals and deeply honest lyricism, touring with artists like D’Angelo and Sam Smith and releasing three studio albums, including 2022’s Matter of Time, which debuted at number one in Australia. Last week, she returned with her fourth album, It’s My Party, a bold sonic shift that trades some of her brooding, ethereal tones for something brighter, more playful and self-assured. On today’s episode, we chat with Meg about the evolution behind It’s My Party, working with UK producer Bullion and the trust that collaboration requires, pushing against expectations of what a “Meg Mac record” should sound like, and her immersive live show currently touring the country.
