Jonny calls Will Toledo of Car Seat Headrest to discuss the band's forthcoming Rock Opera LP The Scholars. Described as audacious, ambitious and a reminder of what rock can be, The Scholars is well worth a very close listen! Whakarongo mai to hear about the process on this set-to-be legendary album out 2 May.
Jonny chats to Angus Stone, a.k.a Dope Lemon, from over the ditch about his epic forthcoming album GOLDEN WOLF out 2 May and his anticipated return to Aotearoa at the start of August.
Very tired 95bFM correspondents Elle Daaji and Rosetta Stone recap all the excitement from last night's award ceremony for the Taite Prize 2025. They spoke to a bunch of the very talented nominees, and interviewed award recepients Byllie-Jean, MOKOTRON, and Rohan Evans in the green room post-ceremony. It was a massive night and a true testament to the importance of celebrating independent music and recognising the artistry, mahi and dedication to community that defines indie music in Aotearoa. Congratulations to this years' recepients -
