‘I Have To Go Rogue Every Single Time’: Peach PRC Reflects On The Past As She Steps Into Her New Era

Chris Familton, Journalist

Chris Familton

I'm a music journalist, publicist and musician. I’ve been writing professionally about music for the last 15 years, with my music blogs Doubtful Sounds and Post To Wire (alt-country/folk) and as a freelancer with The Music (Drum Media) since 2009, Rhythms magazine, FasterLouder and more.

I've been playing bass guitar in bands since the early ‘90s in New Zealand (Thorazine Shuffle) and Australia (The Finalists, Charlie Horse). I currently also work as a music publicist, with artists including Bluebottle Kiss, Halfway, Restless Leg, Alannah Russack.

Album Review: John Flanagan - There's Another Way To Where You're Going
"Think well crafted '70s MOR folk-pop that keeps cloying sentimentality at arm's length."
Reviews / Live
Live Review: The Apartments
"His ability to paint pictures of intimate moments with poetic clarity and then compose a chorus of only "na-na-na"s is what positions his songs in the pop idiom."
Reviews / Live
Live Review: Ryley Walker
"Walker’s between-song banter was often hilarious as he talked of his awe at playing the Sydney Opera House, mistaking possums for wombats..."

Live Review: The Chills
