There's an out of reach desperation in Friko's new record Something Worth Waiting For. Niko Kapetan talks about being a lifer songwriter, odd jobs replenishing vending machines and at a loading dock, and how touring is worth the price.

Robbie and Tony dive into their rise, fall and rise again. After the initial deserved hype of their 2000 debut Since I Left You, the Australian spent 16 years getting their second album together - turning down lucrative anniversary shows and commercial offers to preserve their integrity. Now their new album No Bad Memories, with features from Rivers Cuomo, John Glacier, Mike Patton and Portraits of Tracy, is peaking its full potential.

Another incredible new find out on Breakfast Records (Getdown Services, Mumble Tide, The Cindys) is Polhawan.

Tim also plays a couple of wonderful tunes. Give it a proper listen: https://polhawan.bandcamp.com/track/things-you-do
