In this episode Adrian and Leon dive deep into the lush, groove-driven world of Melbourne’s very own Surprise Chef, celebrating their brilliant new album 'Superb''.

This record marks a turning point for the band — trading their usual meticulous production for something looser, more spontaneous, and full of unbridled joy.

Across the conversation, we explore how tracks like “Bully Ball,” “Body Slam,” and the dreamy “Websites” blend jazz-funk, cinematic soul, and experimental textures, revealing a band confidently pushing their sound into energised, playful territory.

As part of our Australian music spotlight series, we unpack why Surprise Chef’s 'Superb' feels like both a creative leap and a deeply soulful statement — and why it might just make them one of Australia’s most exciting contemporary instrumental acts.

A word of warning, there is no escaping using expletives in this episode: it's right there in the band name. In this episode, we discuss the Melbourne art rockers, Tropical F*ck Storm and their 2025 album, Fairyland Codex.

This band is a massive favourite of Leon's - he would almost characterise himself as a super fan. This episode is a deep dive into the poetry, noise, chaos and beauty of these avant garde animals.

Grab your pepper spray from Kmart and join us for a record where the apocalypse comes with a wink and some howling feedback . It's like Sesame Street hallucinations - guitars that sound like broken transmissions, and lyrics that make you laugh just before they pull the floor out from under you. Tropical F*ck Storm have always thrived by carefully guiding chaos that beautiful, buzzing tension between creation and collapse and re-creation.
