"Man, I think there’s a real undertow of pretentiousness in the industry at the moment, and it’s a shame."

We grabbed Melbourne five piece I Know The Chief for their top fives in all things music!

"It’s freedom from thinking about paying the bills and what’s happening at your day job."

"At our first show in Nenzing, Austria, our lighting guy (or more appropriately, lighting kid, as he was 13) was drinking and smoking behind the desk."

"It’s been something that’s been on my mind for a while. I love Midnight Oil as a band and I love what they stand for and I thought their songs would actually really work in a dub setting."

"We’re all long beyond caring about people that just slag you off for absolutely no reason - these days we quite enjoy it actually.”

“The band had no choice but to pick up guitars and drums, write a set and start playing rock’n’roll. And we’re just as fantastic at rock’n’roll as we were at professional wrestling.”

"It’s ended being a much more personal record… In some ways it feels more personal than the last couple of records, which I was worried about."

“We are obviously emotion-driven and the songs have to be a complete story from the emotions that the music brings out in the listener, and we really try to match that together with the lyrics."

"I mean, I have a Sunday best album that I always play on Sunday, and maybe I hope that one day one of my albums can be that special for someone."

"Unida versus Kyuss are two totally different animals with two totally different vibes, and two totally different types of energy."
