After an extended hiatus, we are stoked to be back at it today with legendary Brisbane graffiti pioneer and record-digger, Roms. Roms is an unheralded veteran of the Brisbane graffiti scene, he has been painting since the late 80’s and collecting records for nearly as long, a champion of early legal walls around the city, Roms has stories for days. This is one of those classic Beers episodes that goes everywhere, we talk everything from the importance of Brisbane’s pioneer writers to Black Sabbath’s record label and on to the events that unfolded following September 11, 2001. Thanks to Roms for his years of contributions, conversation and continued creativity, he deserves the props.
