| #240 Duxie Franklin Unfiltered: Hidden Aussie Indie Gem You Need to Hear | After the Storm Breakdown | 19 juin 2026 | 00:46:02 | |
In this raw and inspiring episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered, we dive deep into the world of Melbourne/Naarm artist Duxie Franklin — singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, visual artist, costume designer, and director who crafts her own flamboyant stage worlds. Once a rising elite tennis player ranked in Australia’s top 200, Duxie’s career was derailed by a devastating ACL injury and knee reconstruction. What could have been the end became the spark for her musical rebirth. We explore how her athletic discipline fuels songwriting bootcamps, full creative control, and a fearless indie path blending alt-folk, indie-pop, surf-rock, and theatrical flair.From her latest 80s-inspired power ballad "After the Storm" (and its stunning new music video) to quirky anthems like "Chlorine" (with its epic underwater visuals), poolside philosophizing in "In the pool, wasting time", and earlier gems from the Watch Your Soul EP, Duxie shares unfiltered stories on vulnerability, Koalaism, social media grind, and building her Factory of Art & Music community. Perfect for fans of Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell, Björk, and anyone who loves authentic artist pivots. This is the undiscovered gem you’ll be obsessing over. Duxie Franklin is a Melbourne-based alt-folk/pop singer-songwriter and multi-disciplinary artist. Half Austrian, half Zimbabwean, she’s a self-taught multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar, ukulele, bass, violin) who directs her own striking music videos, designs/sews costumes, and pours personal metaphor and vulnerability into every project. Praised as “one of Australia’s most unique and exciting emerging acts,” her work mixes theatrical quirk, emotional depth, and everyday joys. Key Tracks Featured:

| From Punk to Freight Train Country: The Smith & Western Jury Unfiltered Story #234 | 08 mai 2026 | 00:58:24 | |
Welcome back to Unfiltered and Undiscovered, the show where we shine a light on the raw, real stories and blistering talent breaking through the noise. Today we’re hauling into Melbourne’s freight-train alt-country powerhouse, The Smith & Western Jury. Fronted by the powerhouse vocals and songwriting of Sam Lombardi, alongside guitarist Simon Torcasio and a killer rhythm section, this band has exploded out of punk and pop-rock roots into a desert-tinged, heart-on-the-sleeve sound that blends classic country twang with modern fire. Their debut album Hotel Texas dives deep into grief, health battles, love, loss, and hard-won resilience — recorded against medical odds in Texas with legendary producer Tommy Detamore. From lockdown-born anthems like "Have Mercy" to the cinematic new single "Lucky Stars," this is unfiltered Australian alt-country at its most authentic and addictive. In this episode, Curly, Braggy & Rossy chat with The Smith & Western Jury about the band’s journey from punk/pop roots to their rollicking, high-energy country sound. They open up about the personal stories behind Hotel Texas, health challenges, industry burnout, and what it takes to create music on their own terms. Plus, plenty of laughs, misheard lyrics, and a fascinating chat on how recording in Canada compares economically to Australia. Episode Highlights:
This is a must-listen for anyone into authentic storytelling, genre-blending music, and rising Australian talent. A great chat with a bloody great band — full of laughs, resilience, and musical insight. Links & Where to Find The Smith & Western Jury:

| Unfiltered: Hunting the Greatest Album Side 2 of All Time| #233 | 01 mai 2026 | 00:58:20 | |
In this episode of Unfiltered and Undiscovered, we’re flipping the script — literally. Everyone knows the big singles on Side 1, but real album lovers know the magic often happens after you lift the needle and flip the record. We dive deep into the greatest Side 2s in music history, with a heavy focus on what many call the undisputed champion: The Beatles’ Abbey Road (1969). That seamless medley on Side 2 isn’t just a collection of songs — it’s a masterpiece of sequencing, emotion, and creative overflow as the band was falling apart. We break down why Side 2 frequently delivers the emotional payoff, deeper experimentation, and hidden gems that make a full album feel complete. Plus, we debate other legendary second sides that deserve serious love. Key Albums & Side 2 Highlights We Cover: The Beatles – Abbey Road Side 2 opens with George Harrison’s sunny “Here Comes the Sun,” followed by John’s haunting “Because.” Then comes the famous 16-minute medley: “You Never Give Me Your Money” → “Sun King” → “Mean Mr. Mustard” → “Polythene Pam” → “She Came In Through the Bathroom Window” → “Golden Slumbers” → “Carry That Weight” → “The End” (with the perfect closing line: “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make”). Often called the greatest string of songs ever put on one side of vinyl. Other strong contenders we discuss: Led Zeppelin III (the acoustic-to-electric journey) Pink Floyd – Meddle (the epic “Echoes” taking up the entire Side 2) And a few more surprises from classic rock, prog, and beyond. Unfiltered Takeaways: Why do so many classic albums save their best or most ambitious material for Side 2? Label pressure vs. artistic flow — how vinyl formatting shaped (and sometimes limited) creativity. How streaming changed the “album side” experience forever. Deep cuts and sequencing secrets that casual listeners miss. We keep it raw: band drama, creative battles, why some sides feel like a complete journey while others just feel like leftover tracks. If you’re a vinyl head, album obsessive, or someone who loves digging past the hits, this one’s for you. Drop your pick in the comments: What’s YOUR greatest Side 2 of all time? Abbey Road? Rumours? Something else? Best answers may get featured in a future episode. Subscribe for more unfiltered conversations on music’s hidden corners and undiscovered stories.

Music has undergone one of the most dramatic transformations in history—shifting from physical records and studio gatekeepers to a fully digital, always-on ecosystem. In this episode, we unpack the evolution of the music industry through the digital lens, exploring how technology has opened doors for creators… while also creating new challenges around value, visibility, and fairness. Is streaming the greatest opportunity artists have ever had? Or has it quietly rewritten the rules in a way that leaves too many behind? This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about where we’ve come from, where we are now, and what needs to change next. 🕰️ What We Cover🎼 The Digital Shift – A Brief History From vinyl and CDs to downloads and streaming, we trace the turning points that redefined how music is created, shared, and consumed. The collapse of traditional gatekeepers gave rise to a new era of independence—but also a new kind of competition. 🎛️ The Positives: A Production RevolutionDigital technology has completely reshaped music production—putting power directly into the hands of creators:
The result? A generation of artists who don’t wait for permission—they just create. 💸 The Challenges: Streaming & Artist RealityWhile production has been democratised, monetisation tells a different story. Platforms like Spotify and Apple Music have made global distribution instant—but:

| Is AI Killing Music’s Soul? Benefits, Backlash & the Human Touch| #230 | 03 avr. 2026 | 00:59:41 | |
In this unfiltered deep dive, Curly, Braggy, and Rossy tackle one of the hottest (and most divisive) topics in music right now: the explosive rise of AI-generated music. We break down the real benefits — democratising creation, smashing through writer’s block, and giving bedroom creators superpowers — alongside the serious challenges: job displacement for musicians, copyright chaos, flooding the market with “good enough” tracks, and the big question of soul and authenticity. To keep it grounded in real Aussie grit, we spotlight a fresh track born from the our Community and the Your Pace & Glory Project: “Servo Pie” by Rob Steele & the Thieves. This raw pub-punk anthem was created with AI assistance (Suno) but finished with proper human touch, coordination, and mastering by Tony Curl. It’s the perfect case study: Can humans outplay the machine when it comes to genuine, sing-along, late-night servo stories that actually mean something to Australian ears? The Servo Pie Sessions. Check out our website for more information We discuss: How AI is speeding up music making and opening doors for undiscovered talent The risks of market saturation and losing emotional depth Why “human touch” still matters in a world of instant tracks Whether artists can (and should) use AI as a collaborator rather than a replacement Welcome to the Servo Pie Sessions — a hands-on way for musical artists to experiment, and compete against the machine. Can you beat the Suno version of Servo Pie? If you’re a musician, producer, or just love real Aussie rock and honest conversations, this episode is for you. Featured Music “Servo Pie” (Lyric Video) – Rob Steele & the Thieves A greasy, fuzzed-out pub-punk ode to midnight servo stops, hot pies, burnt mouths, and no regrets. Inspired by Cosmic Psychos and Amy & The Sniffers. Watch the lyric video here: https://youtu.be/_bZRwl7FaaI Credits: Songwriting: Unfiltered & Undiscovered Community Created with: Your Pace & Glory Project (using Suno) Human Touch, Co-ordination & Mastering: Tony Curl Key Discussion Points The Upside — Faster creation, idea generation, accessibility for new artists, and hybrid human-AI workflows. The Downside — Revenue threats to working musicians, copyright lawsuits, generic output, and questions around authenticity. The Servo Pie Example — How AI can spark a track, but real human coordination and mastering give it genuine Aussie pub energy and sing-along heart. Servo Pie Sessions — A practical invitation for musical artists to experiment, and compete against the machine.

| #224 From Busking with Dad to National Stages: Saralyn | 20 févr. 2026 | 01:09:45 | |
This week on Unfiltered & Undiscovered, the boys sit down with one of Australian country music’s brightest rising stars — Saralyn. Recently named the 2026 People’s Choice Awards TCMF Country Music Bulletin Most Promising Future Star, Saralyn’s journey is built on family, faith, grit, and a deep love for country storytelling. From growing up as one of ten children and busking alongside her dad, to national television on The Voice Australia 2025 with Ronan Keating as her coach, Saralyn shares the real story behind the momentum. This conversation explores the hard work behind the headlines — the late nights, regional tours, and the balancing act of being a proud mum of two while building a fast‑rising music career.
Saralyn talks about her latest single, “Cowgirl Blues,” produced by Rhys Zacher, and how it follows on from her previous release, “If Tomorrow Never Comes.” Both tracks offer a glimpse into her forthcoming EP set for release in 2026 — a project that reflects strength, vulnerability, and modern Australian country energy. We also dive into her upcoming national tour, TRAILBLAZER – A Lainey Wilson Tribute Show, and what fans can expect as she continues to build momentum across the country. If you love:

| #222 Music You Don’t Just Listen to — You Explore: Jonah Kraut | 08 févr. 2026 | 01:05:32 | |
This episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered features a deep, thoughtful conversation between Curly and Braggy and Nashville‑based singer‑songwriter Jonah Kraut — an artist whose music invites you to explore rather than simply listen. Jonah joins the boys for an unfiltered discussion about depth in music, rhythmic patterns, and a songwriting process that unfolds without a fixed destination. Rather than chasing outcomes or expectations, Jonah speaks openly about trusting the song to reveal itself — and how music has the power to capture listeners quietly, often when they least expect it.
A central theme of this episode is Jonah’s belief that great songs don’t always start with a plan. He discusses writing as a process of discovery — following instincts, rhythms, and emotional cues rather than formulas. Curly and Braggy explore how this philosophy contrasts with modern content‑driven music culture, and why patience and openness can lead to deeper, more meaningful work. The conversation dives into how music doesn’t always deliver immediate impact — and why that’s a good thing. Jonah explains that music often works best when listeners stop expecting it to do something and instead allow it to exist. This episode reflects on how truly immersive music captures people quietly, slowly, and sometimes without them even realising it. If you love:

| #216 Mystery Song Deep Dive: No Reunions, No Compromises — Beat Surrender | 16 janv. 2026 | 00:30:27 | |
In this Mystery Song Deep Dive, the Unfiltered & Undiscovered crew pull apart one of the most quietly powerful songs in British music history — “Beat Surrender” by The Jam. Rather than revisiting the loudest or most obvious moments of The Jam’s catalogue, this episode focuses on the band’s final single — a song that didn’t rage against the machine, but calmly stepped away from it. Released at the peak of their success, Beat Surrender wasn’t just a song — it was a statement. Curly, Braggy, and Rossy explore why The Jam chose to end things here, unpacking the cultural, political, and emotional weight behind the track. The conversation moves beyond chart positions and into intent: what it means to walk away while you’re still on top, and why restraint can sometimes speak louder than rebellion. The episode dives into: The historical context surrounding Beat Surrender Paul Weller’s mindset at the time and the band’s deliberate decision to stop The song’s subtle politics, tenderness, and underlying optimism Why this track feels more like a closing letter than a farewell anthem How choosing integrity over longevity has shaped The Jam’s legacy The hosts also reflect on how Beat Surrender contrasts with the band’s earlier firebrand sound, and why ending softly — with hope instead of anger — remains such a rare move in popular music. As always, the discussion is unfiltered, thoughtful, occasionally irreverent, and grounded in a genuine love of music that means something. This is less about nostalgia and more about intent, timing, and knowing when you’ve said what you came to say. If you’ve ever wondered whether stepping away can be its own kind of victory — this episode is for you. 🎶 Featured Song: Beat Surrender — The Jam 🎙 Series: Mystery Song Deep Dive 🎧 Listen on: YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts & all major platforms 👉 Don’t forget to check out our curated playlists spotlighting music with heart, intent, and stories worth hearing.

| #214 ALT-Country, High Altitude: John Stokes on Crumbling Down | 19 déc. 2025 | 00:56:01 | |
This episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered features Australian ALT-Country songwriter John Stokes, a true adventurer whose life and music are deeply rooted in the Australian landscape. John joins the boys to unpack his powerful new single “Crumbling Down,” a raw and reflective song capturing the changing face of rural Australia — from towns bypassed by highways to the emotional weight of droughts, floods, and rising costs of living. It’s a song built on lived experience, not observation. We talk about how Crumbling Down began with a single image — “Broke glass from a windowpane laying in the church yard” — and poured out naturally, driven by everything John has seen and felt on the land. The conversation explores the songwriting process, trusting instinct, and the freedom that comes from letting go of ego in the studio. John also shares his experience working with multi-award-winning producer Shane Nicholson at Monkey Jump / Ziggy Tone Studios, watching the song grow sonically while staying true to its original heart. From alternate tunings to earthy textures like didgeridoo and bodhrán, the track reflects a deep connection to place and tradition. Beyond the music, this episode dives into John’s extraordinary life — sheep shearer, dirt bike champion, rodeo rider, hang glider, marathon runner, and commercial pilot — and how that adventurous spirit shapes his songwriting and outlook on life. We also discuss the making of the Crumbling Down music video, filmed across regional NSW with Roaming Creatives, and John’s current touring run leading into Tamworth Country Music Festival 2026. This is a conversation about resilience, authenticity, and staying grounded — in music, in community, and in yourself.

| #213 Chloe Marks - Cheaper than Therapy Telling it Like It Is | 12 déc. 2025 | 00:45:36 | |
In this episode of Unfiltered & Undiscovered, Curly, Braggy and Rossy sit down with Sydney-based artist Chloe Marks for one of the most honest and emotionally open conversations we’ve had on the podcast.Fresh off the release of her powerful new single “Cheaper Than Therapy”, Chloe unpacks the line that instantly stops you in your tracks — “When I get ......, I talk to God” — and explains how songwriting has become a conduit for truth, catharsis, and survival in an industry that often asks artists to give everything without showing the cost.🎵 Songwriting as Survival, Not StrategyChloe speaks candidly about writing songs that don’t aim to be “radio safe” or algorithm-friendly, but emotionally necessary. Her music lives in the uncomfortable corners — faith, doubt, vulnerability, self-medication, and honesty — and she explains why pulling back the filter is sometimes the only way to move forward.The conversation explores how authentic storytelling can feel both liberating and risky, especially for emerging artists navigating visibility, judgment, and expectation in a hyper-connected digital world.❤️ Artist Welfare: The Conversations We Don’t Have EnoughA central theme of this episode is artist welfare — mental health, emotional labour, burnout, and the pressure to constantly “be on.”Chloe shares her lived experience of:The emotional toll of releasing deeply personal musicNavigating validation, criticism, and the noise of social mediaThe expectation for artists to self-manage everything: music, branding, promotion, touring, and mental resilienceThe hosts also reflect on how the industry has evolved — from pub gigs and word-of-mouth to streams, metrics, and constant comparison — and question whether the system truly supports artists beyond content creation.Artist LinksWebsite - https://www.chloemarksmusic.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chloemarksmusic Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/chloemarksmusic Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/artist/05bxQJG4B70x2mPla4je8x YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@chloemarksmusic/featured Copyright Disclaimer:"The Unfiltered & Undiscovered Podcast features interviews and showcases with music artists, along with our Mystery Song Deep Dive segment, which is intended solely for educational and entertainment purposes.
