Editor’s Note
I’ve gotten to put a lot of acts on the cover of this magazine that I love, but it isn’t very often that you get to put a band that means the world to you up there. 15-year-old Gloria, who travelled all around Victoria to see The Amity Affliction play on every stage they graced, is pretty stoked this week – but so is current day Gloria.
Despite what people are going to say about the change in sound (and let’s be real, someone will always find something they aren’t happy with), just have a read through our chat with frontman Joel Birch to see the good place the band are finally in with this record. That should be celebrated.
Elsewhere in the mag we chat with Little Wise about how she crowdfunded her first album, Gretta Ray about her brilliant EP, William Ryan Key about life after Yellowcard, and Alexander Biggs about making music in a blanket fort.
Sounds pretty good to me. While I’ve got you – clear this Saturday in your diary and I’ll see you at the Middle Park Bowlo, it’s gonna be a good one.
