Jack here, in this episode myself and Fenn sit down with Declan O'Driscoll to discuss me and Declan's album we made together 8 years ago. IMO this album is quite an anomaly that didn't really get it's time in the sun because we broke up immediately after launching this record.
It's one of Jonathon (Jono) Tookes earliest records he produced, it features guest talents of Heather Riley (Cry Club) and Jariss Shead (Troldhaugen), and the cast and crew of our music videos at the time of release are a wonderful archive of some of Wollongong's finest people.
The songs are really really weird, the instrumentation is wild, some of the creative choices on this are so bizarre. It's an album I look back on really fondly and it is such a fitting ending to a beautiful and challenging chapter in our lives.
Loas.
-Jack

This week in a very different type of episode. Jack ventures on his lonesome down to the most southern point of Australia to chat with nipaluna/Hobart group Smug Anime Face. Jack believes them to be one of Australia's most exciting heavy acts, if not the most exciting heavy act in the country.
Amongst many other things, Cam and Jack share important Australian math-rock lore, Axel shares guitar secrets, Sean shares how he got the gig, Jack writes a song about Susan Boyle and Piers Morgan in love and pre-emptively asks the band to praise it before it's written. A pair of rude novelty socks are mentioned.

Jack and Fenn are speeding on their e-scooters past the worlds filthiest river, calculators out, punching in numbers, flipping them upside down and cackling like goons. This wonderful scene is scored by the mystical and mathematic music of Terms.
Q: How much of Christopher Trull's playing does Jack know?
A: An unhealthy amount.
Together they break down 3 tracks from the stellar new album from Terms, and Jack debuts a song that he wrote channelling all of the chaotic math energy he can muster. But can he muster enough guts to pull it off? Tune in to find out.
