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.Tell us what you thought of the album:Fb: https://www.facebook.com/supersonicchatElectronic mailing system: [email protected] Twits: https://twitter.com/chat_sonicInsta: https://www.instagram.com/supersonicchat

On this episode, Leon and Adrian lock horns over one of the most intriguing new Australian acts, Sweet Talk. This season, the boys are on a mission to shine a spotlight on brilliant Australian music that deserves more ears – and Sweet Talk’s rootsy, Americana-infused album has certainly caught Adrian’s.But here’s the rub: Leon can’t stand country or Americana.

The result is a thoughtful and surprisingly entertaining exchange where genre bias meets genuine appreciation.It’s a chat full of wit, passion, and sharp music insight – proof that even when one of them is squirming in his seat, Leon and Adrian are at their best when they’re pulling apart what makes a record tick.Tune in for a Super Sonic Chat where Sweet Talk sparks some very sweet talk indeed.Tell us what you think of the album:Fb: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/supersonicchat⁠Electronic mailing system: ⁠[email protected]⁠The Twits: ⁠https://twitter.com/chat_sonic⁠Insta: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/supersonicchat⁠

Our 2025 mission remains: to shine a spotlight on great Australian music.Here we dive deep into Struggler, the critically acclaimed second album by Genesis Owusu. With its genre-bending soundscape, existential themes, and unrelenting energy, Struggler cements Genesis as one of the most inventive and fearless artists in the Australian music scene—and beyond.We peel back the layers of sonic experimentation, poetic lyricism, and Owusu’s shape-shifting persona. From the post-punk propulsion of “Leaving the Light” to the dystopian funk of “Tied Up!”, we unpack how Struggler wrestles with chaos, identity, and perseverance—anchored by Genesis’s unmistakable voice and bold creative vision.Along the way, we connect the album’s themes to the broader challenge of carving out space for Australian artists in a global market dominated by US and UK acts. Why is Struggler so vital in this cultural moment? What does its international success say about the evolving landscape of Australian music? And how does Genesis Owusu embody the future we hope to see for homegrown artistry?Tune in as we celebrate Struggler — a record that refuses to play by the rules, and a reminder of why Australian music matters on the world stage.Tell us what you think of the album on all the socials:FB: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/supersonicchat⁠Electronic mailing system: ⁠[email protected]⁠The Twits: ⁠https://x.com/chat_sonicInsta: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/supersonicchat
