TOP FIVES: Tom Hutchins from We Talk, You Die

TOM HUTCHINS is an odd creature. He is currently 19. He hails from the sheltered surrounds of the Dandenong Ranges. He owes the state of Victoria over $500 in fines. He enjoys the comedic stylings of Ellen DeGeneres...He loves to dance like a tiger. When he's not pretending to be a tiger - he has a pretty solid resume. He's a contributing writer for a number of reputable music sites, including PURPLE SNEAKERS of course. He's interviewed some of Australia's radest acts including, DZ Deathrays, Yacht Club DJs and Ghostwood to name a few. And on top of this, he's also the Co-Founder of WE TALK, YOU DIE - a site dedicated to everything new in the worlds on music and comedy. We think he's rad and he's probably the best friend you've never had.

You can listen to heaps of sweet podcast interviews that Tom has conducted over at the WE TALK, YOU DIE SOUNDCLOUD.
