We caught up with Darren Middleton and Davey Lane from Australian Rock Collective to chat all things Hotel California as ARC celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic Hotel California album on their massive national tour.

From the legacy of the Eagles to bringing one of the greatest records of all time back to the stage, this was a ripper conversation with two Aussie rock legends.

This week on Homegrown, I caught up with Violet Grohl during a whirlwind trip to Sydney for an exclusive chat about her brand new music, the stories behind the album, and the artists shaping her sound.

We got into everything from growing up surrounded by music to the bands inspiring her right now — including the Aussie act she says she can’t stop listening to. It’s honest, funny, and a rare insight into one of music’s most exciting new voices!

Her new album 'Be Sweet to Me' is out tomorrow and you will LOVE IT!

Josh Pyke joins us to celebrate the release of his brand new album Kingdom Within.

Fresh off a huge 33-date national tour, Josh has been busier than ever — also sharing the stage with symphony orchestras across the country. Beyond music, he’s an award-winning author and podcaster, and does incredible work with the Australian Indigenous Literacy Foundation. He also founded the Busking for Change initiative in 2009, raising funds for remote Indigenous communities and frequently collaborating with First Nations artists.

We can’t wait for this new record and we’re pumped to have Josh back in the studio soon!

Cavs has become a drumming force of nature, earning a global reputation behind the kit with Melbourne’s King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard..

He’s just dropped his second studio album Sojourn and it’s an absolute ripper. Cavs joins us in the studio alongside collaborator Jim Rindfleish from Mildlife to break it all down.

We dive into the making of the album, the creative process, and as you’d expect plenty of drum chat.

Do yourself a favour: check out Sojourn. And if you’re in Melbourne, catch Cavs live at the Northcote Theatre on May 22.

Australian pop powerhouse Ruel is stepping into a bold new era—releasing not one, but two albums in a single year!
A super rare move that underlines just how ambitious and creatively charged he is right now.

Still in his early 20s, he's already built a global reputation off the back of massive streaming numbers, world tours, and good old fashioned hard work.

He's been lighting up crowds across South America, exploding in popularity throughout Southeast Asia, and now returning home to play the biggest shows of his career.

Despite that global reach, there’s a strong thread back to his roots, with Ruel openly championing Australian icons like Augie March.

His Brand new Album, Kicking and Screaming is out on June 12th and we cannot wait!

Marcus and Ed from Mumford & Sons joined us in Melbourne ahead of their two sold-out shows at Rod Laver Arena — and they were buzzing.

No strangers to Australia, we rewind to the early days, dive into new music, and relive some unforgettable moments from their time Down Under. We also chat about playing Saturday Night Live, their very first show, and the Aussie songs they wish they’d written.

Plus, we had a live audience in the room, which brought an extra bit of magic to the whole conversation.

We hope you enjoy!
