Anthony Carew, Journalist

Guitarist Jared Monaco of The Maine talks to Anthony Carew about starting out as a band 12 years ago in the age of Myspace, and the fans they've made along the way.

"All this might just be a mediocre television spin-off if it weren’t for the horrifyingly regressive politics at play."

The Wombats' frontman, Matthew "Murph" Murphy, may have a new solo project, Love Fame Tragedy, but, as he tells Anthony Carew, it's just "business as usual".

"'IT' features few of the cheesy jump-scares of its predecessor. In fact, it feels wholly different to a regular horror-movie."

"'Amazing Grace' is at once a celebration of Aretha’s peerless pipes whilst, at the same time, a film that feels like it’s lacking her voice."

Secretly Group's Ophir Admony has worked with her fair share of Australian provocateurs. Here she tells Anthony Carew she's keen to get her hands on a lamington when in town for BIGSOUND.

"It’s meant to be seen far and wide across this country, across age ranges and social divisions."

"God, it’s glorious."

Ride's Mark Gardener tells Anthony Carew that the reformed shoegaze icons, who famously splintered in the mid-'90s, aren't going to destroy their legacy with new effort 'This Is Not A Safe Place'.

"The audience... knows that the guy who made 'Hereditary' is out to fuck them up and over."

Ahead of the release of Marika Hackman's third LP, 'Any Human Friend', Anthony Carew speaks with the English artist about feeling like an adult, being direct and how she used to picture herself as "John Bonham smashing out a solo in front of 100,000 people".

Sally Seltmann, one-third of Sydney supergroup Seeker Lover Keeper, speaks to Anthony Carew about slipping easily back into the rhythm of the band eight years on from their first record.
