This week on Unfiltered & Undiscovered, Curly, and Rossy sit down with Sunshine Coast pop-rock powerhouse Phil & The Blanks.

Blending 2000s So Fresh compilation energy with party-rap and rowdy rock riffs, the boys drop in for an unfiltered, hilarious, and high-energy chat. From hitting over 3 million streams while remaining the music industry's favorite outcasts to outlining their tactical grand plan to take over the globe (starting with Sydney and Melbourne), this episode is pure indie music gold. Grab a cold one—or a ginger beer—and dive into the chaos!

Key Highlights & Unfiltered Moments

• 3 Million Streams & Zero Filter: Why the corporate music industry still doesn't know what to do with them—even after pulling huge independent numbers.

• Global Domination (Via Melbourne & Sydney): The band breaks down their masterplan to conquer the world, why Melbourne is the ultimate prize, and why Sydney is secretly just the stepping stone to get there.

• Disrupting the Ginger Beer Industry: Moving beyond the stage into cold brews and house-party culture.

• SO MUCH MORE

In this episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered, hosts Curly, Braggy, and Rossy sit down for an unscripted conversation with Polish-Australian singer-songwriter, producer, and live-looping artist ZUZY.

Supported by the City of Gold Coast Arts Development Fund, we chat about her cross-continental production work between Poland and Australia, her transition from studying music theory in Szczecin to the Queensland hinterland, and how she builds complex multi-layered studio arrangements live on stage using her loop pedal.

This week on Unfiltered & Undiscovered, Curly, Braggy, and Rossy sit down with Damien Baguley, frontman and chief songwriter of Newcastle's premier country-rock powerhouse, The Viper Creek Band.

Since breaking out of the Hunter Valley music scene, The Viper Creek Band has spent over a decade tearing up festival stages—from Tamworth and Gympie to CMC Rocks and Deni Ute Muster. Blending heavy, pub-rock guitar riffs with anthemic country songwriting, the boys have topped the ARIA Country Albums Chart, landed Golden Guitar nominations, and built one of the most passionate grassroots fanbases in independent Australian music.

In this episode, the team dives deep into:

• The Regional Pub Circuit Grit: Building a national fanbase from scratch across New South Wales and regional Australia.

• Studio vs. Stage: Capturing high-octane festival energy inside the recording studio for chart-topping albums like Just Press Play and Beautiful Destruction.

• 10+ Years on the Road: Unfiltered tour stories, festival backstage chaos, and keeping the passion alive as an independent outfit.

This week on Unfiltered & Undiscovered, Curly, Braggy, and Rossy make a trip across the Pacific to tap into the Brooklyn lo-fi scene with songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Daniels, the mastermind behind Inland Years.

Ryan’s musical journey is one of the most fascinating pivots you’ll hear. After coming up in the late-90s heavy underground scene with post-hardcore band Hassan I Sabbah, Ryan shifted gears to craft delicate, tape-saturated indie-folk and jangly pop vignettes—many landing with maximum emotional impact in under two minutes.

In this episode, the boys sit down with Ryan to talk about:

• The Style Shift: Transitioning from the raw, aggressive energy of screamo/post-hardcore to bedroom pop and analog home recording.

• Songwriting Economy: The art of packing complete, earworm hooks into concise 90-second tracks on his album Nowadays.

• Tape Warmth vs. Studio Realism: Tracking between Brooklyn and Pennsylvania on cassette setups versus recording live in a single room through a vintage Neve console for The Bunker Sessions.

• Physical Artifacts: Why he embraces limited physical runs, like 5-inch lathe-cut records, in an era of digital streaming.

Whether you're a gear nerd obsessed with analog saturation or a songwriter looking to simplify your craft, this chat is packed with honest insights, studio chat, and zero filter.

This week on Unfiltered & Undiscovered, Curly, Braggy, and Rossy head down to the deep American South to chat with singer-songwriter, author, and engineer Martin Andrew Lowery.

Hailing from just north of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Martin combines raw Southern rock, country grit, and acoustic storytelling with a deeply personal narrative. Having faced his own battles with recovery and personal transformation, Martin uses his music as a candid blueprint to support others walking the line toward healing—all while taking a hands-on, engineering approach to tracking and self-producing his songs.

In this episode, the boys sit down with Martin to discuss:

• The Muscle Shoals Connection: How growing up near one of the world's most legendary music hubs shaped his sound, rhythm, and love for raw, organic tracks.

• Music as a Recovery Tool: The story behind his raw track "Same Road" and the courage it takes to share vulnerable, unfiltered recovery stories with the world.

• The Engineer's Mindset: How he balances his background in engineering with the intuitive, emotional side of writing country and Southern rock tunes.

• Faith & Self-Reliance: Navigating life as an independent artist, managing digital releases, and staying true to his core beliefs.

From studio gear setups to heavy, honest storytelling, this episode delivers real talk, deep insights, and zero filter
