With ERRA back Down Under once again for their headline run with Silent Planet and Resolve, we caught up with returning champion J.T. Cavey (also of Texas In July) for a very wholesome Dispatch Bay episode and Q&A backstage at The Forum in Naarm/Melbourne.
Sourcing questions from Reddit’s passionate r/Metalcore community, Owen put the hard word on J.T. about vocal patterns, Crocs, setlist decisions, album remixes, and much more.

Chas talks about the challenges of writing new Justice material, the desire to streamline performance for maximum fun and crowd participation, the mental fortitude required for weeks of touring, and overcoming personal adversity. “Will you break down, or will you break through?”

Stoked to have Ryan Savitski of One Step Closer jumping on the pod this week as part of the 2025 lineup for New Bloom Fest alongside Basement, Balance & Composure, DRAIN, Glitterer, and Sweet Pill.
After returning from a huge UK run supporting pop-punkers Neck Deep on some their biggest ever shows to date, Ryan digs in to the band’s progression on last year’s exceptional ‘All You Embrace’ LP, playing floor shows versus arena stages, the importance of melody, and how best to fight jetlag.

It might be a brand new month, but it’s the same old roundup! Owen & Paige get cracking on new finds, old favourites, and throw in a few sonic curveballs for good measure. Oh, and Reesey makes an appearance and chucks a mad yawn on camera. *offensive Brad Pitt accent* “Do ya like dahgs??”

The Texas boys chat about Metallica as a musical gateway, finding each other through a Craigslist ad, moving back to a trio, the band’s creative evolution across releases, and the state of the (emo) union.

🔥Here’s our brief chat with George Pettit of Alexisonfire and Dead Tired 🔥
Returning Down Under after their 2023 tour with Tasmanian rockers Luca Brasi, Canadian institution Alexisonfire are back once again for a four-show run with Underoath & GEL.
Frontman and resident throat-shredder George Pettit drops into the show mid-rehearsal to chat about playing older songs, reflecting on his youth and the band’s trajectory, the organic record process behind 2022’s expansive ‘Otherness’ LP, and what art inspires him in the current moment.

Stoked to have Ned Russin of Glitterer and Title Fight on the pod this week as part of the 2025 lineup for New Bloom Fest alongside Basement, Balance & Composure, DRAIN, One Step Closer, and Sweet Pill.
Dialing in from Peru in the middle of a Latin America tour run (hence the lack of reliable video bandwidth), Ned talks about the intentionality behind the group’s latest LP, ‘Rationale,’ how touring has shaped his entire adult life, the seductive trap of solipsism, and cultivating a hardcore mindset.

It’s the end of another month, and we’re smashing through another stacked selection of roundup tracks.

So, tune in and let us know what you’re listening to! 🙏🏼

For Jack Bergin, the last few years have brought one realisation into sharp relief: the only way out is through. With their final tour wrapping up, the frontman for Naarm/Melbourne heavy hitters Void Of Vision joins the show to bring this chapter to a bittersweet close.
We chat about Jack’s health struggles and his determined journey of self-discovery, the moment he decided that VOV needed to take The Big Sleep, wrestling with ideas of mortality, thematic resonance and legacy, the unrealised potential of last year’s phenomenal ‘What I’ll Leave Behind’ LP, his enduring love for heavy music, and the new beginnings afforded him as the host of Triple J’s Core program.

Coming back to what feels like their second home, Californian chillers DRAIN are ready to rip once again as part of the gnarly 2025 lineup for New Bloom Fest alongside Basement, Balance & Composure, One Step Closer, Glitterer, and Sweet Pill.
All-round nice bloke Sammy Ciaramitaro drops in to the show to give us the low down on his community’s resolve in the face of natural disasters, the band’s sonic progression across records, the low-end rumblings of their work-in-progress third LP, and why pool noodles in the pit are both a blessing and a (California) curse.

Paige is back, folks, and we’re saddling up for another week of business as usual. We’ve got mathy prog-pop-metalcore freakouts, fuzzed-out 90s alt-rock worship, surfy and sassy indie-punk, and tearjerker emotional rockers, plus much, much more. Bring it in, listen closely, and giddy up 🤠

This week we’re joined from the road by Hands Like Houses frontman Josh Raven as the group crosses the country on select regional dates with heavy icons The Butterfly Effect.
Josh opens up about his initial trepidation at joining an already established band, after years spent at the helm of Perth rockers The Faim, along with the creative freedom and boundary pushing sessions that led to ‘ATMOSPHERICS’: the group’s ambitious 16-track double album, featuring previously released tracks from four distinct EPs (out now through Civilians).
We chat about being your own worst critic, unlocking new vocal talents, overcoming performance anxiety, and finally getting to the bottom of what’s up with chemtrails.

🔥 Here’s our brief chat withChris Cresswell ofThe Flatliners andHot Water Music 🔥
We were fortunate enough to have some time with the affable Chris Cresswell–guitarist and vocalist for The Flatliners and Hot Water Music–as he prepares to pull double duty for both acts on their upcoming New Zealand and Australian tour run later this month.
Chris chats to us about first touring with and then eventually joining an iconic band that was a direct influence on his music and punk rocker journey. We discuss the creative process behind 2024’s phenomenal ‘Vows,’ the art of playing back-to-back sets, and his surreal Venn diagram of friends and collaborators.

Another week, another (regrettably solo) roundup! Don’t worry, folks, Paige is fine, and she’ll (hopefully) be back next week. (Proof of Life available upon request.) We’ve got crashing metalcore bangers, sapphic post-punk, groove-laden ragers, a post-metal epic, and much more. LFGGG!!

This week we’re joined by none other than Brendan Murphy–infamous tweet sender, feline aficionado, stage yeller, esteemed metalcore scholar–of Counterparts & END, ahead of their return Down Under with Dying Wish.
Brendan gets real about how touring takes him away from his beloved animal companions, his enlightened journey with sobriety, writing with newfound creative focus, forging a cohesive narrative of pain and loss on ‘Heaven Let Them Die’ (out now through Pure Noise Records), the joys of Reddit AMA’s, and why he’ll miss Misery Signals (RIP) the most.

With Paige out of action and coughing up a lung, Owen holds down the fort to run through this week’s solo roundup. We’ve got a bunch of new tracks to catch up on and it’s all bangers on deck. New finds, old favourites, and seasoned vets coming back from the brink. It’s all here, so dig in 🙏🏼

This week we’re joined by Windwaker frontman and all-round good bloke Lian Guinane to get the downlow on the group’s latest release: a deluxe version of last year’s sophomore smash LP, ‘Hyperviolence: Expansion Pack,’ out on Friday 14th through Fearless Records/Civilians.
Liam chats with us about the band’s latest material from the initial ‘Hyperviolence’ sessions, overcoming self-doubt, pushing creative boundaries, and touring throughout North America last year with fellow Aussie heavy hitters Northlane and Thornhill.

Cursed sickness and poor hotel wi-fi be damned. We made it, folks. Owen & Paige bring this week’s extremely tardy Roundup to you live from the cuck chairs of their Vegas casino hotel room. We’ve got emotionally charged hardcore, “the last ever deathcore band,” Finnish doom-gaze, and skull-splitting Aussie brutal death/slam. Dive in and maybe we’ll survive the trip home 🙏🏼
