Interview with Momma (US) Ahead of their Australian Tour in early 2026
Brooklyn indie-rockers, now Los Angelas based Momma are bringing their electrifying live show to Australia for the very first time in January 2026, presented by Frontier Touring and Penny Drop.
The trio will kick things off at Brisbane’s Crowbar, before heading to Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory and wrapping up at Max Watts in Melbourne.
Fronted by Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten, Momma have fast become one of the most exciting voices in modern indie-rock. Their latest album, Welcome to My Blue Sky (released in April), captures a vivid coming-of-age story set against a backdrop of “parallel chaos” — a charged and transformative summer that reshaped the band’s world.
Produced by bassist Aron Kobayashi Ritch and featuring Preston Fulks on drums, the record documents the creative and emotional whirlwind that followed their 2022 tour. Tracks like standout single “I Want You (Fever)” — which earned them their TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! — showcase the band’s signature blend of sharp self-awareness and fearless vulnerability.
INTERVIEW — Friends of Friends with their New Single ‘SKIN’
Friends of Friends are an Australian band crafting raw, atmospheric, genre-defying music. Fusing jarring guitars with cinematic textures and visceral storytelling, they channel a fearless DIY spirit that’s earned them a loyal following. Praised by triple j as “great, lethal modern rock” and spotlighted in Kerrang! alongside Turnstile and Neck Deep, the band’s momentum is building both at home and abroad.
Fronting the project is Barnaby Baker, a multi-instrumentalist whose British roots and love for britpop and distortion shape the band’s sonic edge. He’s joined by Frank Christian, whose Filipino heritage brings a global dimension, Morgan Blake on drums pushing creative limits with powerhouse performances, and Jess Cameron, an Australian touring veteran anchoring the low end. Together, Friends of Friends create a sound where beauty and chaos collide — a bold, unboxable vision for the future of Australian music.
We caught up with the band to talk about their New Single ‘SKIN’, the importance of Community, and What’s Coming Up!

Urban Sprawl (USA) — INTERVIEW
Hailing from the Bay Area’s rich lineage of hardcore punk, Urban Sprawl are storming their way to Australian shores this July for the very first time — and they're bringing the kind of chaos that’s bound to leave a mark.
Rooted in the same fertile scene that birthed acts like Primal Rite, Punch, and Look Back And Laugh, Urban Sprawl has quickly carved their own lane, fusing politically charged lyrics with breakneck energy. With releases on cult labels like Revelation and Convulse, and new music on the way, the band is only gaining momentum.
The Army, The Navy (USA)— INTERVIEW
The Army, The Navy is the project of childhood friends Sasha Goldberg and Maia Ciambriello, whose roots in harmony trace back to a shared singing coach and years spent studying music in New Orleans. Their sound is sparse but rich, blending pop-inspired melodies with raw, poetic storytelling.
Formed through college jam sessions and DIY shows in Louisiana’s alt scene, the duo now call Los Angeles home — where they shaped their debut EPs Fruit For Flies and Sugar For Bugs into sharp reflections of friendship, feeling, and intuition.
We spoke to them ahead of their Australian tour about how it all began, their influences, and the community that fuels their music.

THE SMILE - CUTOUTS (ALBUM REVIEW) VIA XL RECORDINGS/REMOTE CONTROL
One of the most interesting aspects of 'Cutouts' is how quickly it follows 'Wall of Eyes'. It’s the first time Yorke and Greenwood have released two albums in the same year since Kid A and Amnesiac. Maybe these projects needed to breathe separately, or maybe this quick-fire release pattern is how they’re embracing the moment.

10 Years in the Making - Interview with Jordan from La Dispute on their ‘Rooms Of The House’ World Tour
It's not often you get the chance to interview a band that has been incredibly impactful for over a decade, not just for you but for many people who grew up with their music during crucial developmental years. For me, La Dispute was a gateway band during my time in the USA. Back then, I was playing in Emo and Indie bands, later joining a touring band heavily influenced by the sounds of Modest Mouse and mewithoutYou. My journey led me to discover La Dispute and their records 'Here, Hear Vol III', 'Somewhere At The Bottom of The River, Between Vega and Altair', and 'Wildlife'. I had the privilege of seeing them perform in various countries, from Toronto with Touché Amoré to an abandoned, burnt-out house in Wollongong.
