Editor’s Note

It’s good to be back – after spending a week soaking up the sun up north and watching more sport than is usual for me, it feels nice to surround myself with all the incredible and exciting happenings of our wonderful city.

We chatted to our cover stars, Alaskan juggernaut Portugal. The Man about the song that’s put the band on everyone’s lips ahead of their Australian run of shows, John Carter Cash about continuing his father’s legacy, and Doctor Octagon about their first “real” album in more than two decades.

It doesn’t stop there though, because this Saturday April 21 Record Store Day is back, and we’ve dug through everything there is on offer to hand select the best of the best – it can get a little overwhelming with all that choice, so we thought we’d make it simple.

The rest is for you to find out yourself. As a wise woman once said, “Go forth, spin wax, see all the live bands, and tell me about it next week.” Yes, that wise woman is me.
