Well, if you want to champion Australian artists during a global pandemic, this is a pretty great way to do it. 

Thanks to a glitch following the daylight saving changeover on Sunday morning, listeners may have heard local band Thornhill on repeat for over four hours.

The Melbourne band noted on Monday that the network's, "broadcasting fucked up the other night because of the daylight savings changeover and they played the Lily & The Moon intro riff for almost 5 hours straight".

“It can be hard to get out of bed on a Sunday morning, so we thought we’d help our NT listeners stomp into the day with a Thornhill metalcore riff on repeat…..for four hours," triple j Content Director Ollie Wards told The Music.
