This iconic Australian band, driven by the massive double A-side single 'Second Solution' / 'Prisoner of Society,' shattered expectations with their debut full-length album, propelling them to the top of the charts and into the hearts of music enthusiasts worldwide.

Frontman Chris Cheney takes us behind the scenes of the creation of the album, reflecting on how every song and gig led them to this defining moment in their musical journey. A melting pot of influences masterfully combined, 'The Living End' delivered punk, metal, pop, rockabilly, jazz, ska, and more, showcasing the band's remarkable versatility and cohesion.

To commemorate this milestone, The Living End plans to ignite the stage with a spectacular hometown show at Melbourne's Festival Hall on Saturday, 4th November. They will treat fans to an unforgettable performance, playing the iconic self-titled album in its entirety, along with an electrifying mix of their other hits, rarities, and deep cuts.

You will never hear a better story about a true once a lifetime hunt!  In 2004, our good friend and fellow firefighter Kelley Cato thought someone was messing with him when he got a phone call saying he had won a Texas Desert Bighorn hunt in the Sierra Diablo Mountains.  But come to find out, this opportunity from Texas Parks and Wildlife was as real as they come!  In part 1 of 2 of our Texas Bighorn podcast, Kelley sits down with Sam and sets the stage for what would be, and still is the most memorable hunt of his life.  This was literally a one in a million shot for him to receive this rare tag, allowing him to hunt this extremely protected species.  Kelley talks about what all went into preparing for this hunt, the extreme challenges of hunting Texas Bighorns, and the harshness of the environment these animals call home.  It doesn't matter what you yourself are accustomed to hunting... do not skip over this episode, and certainly do not miss part 2 (Episode 62).  This is  by far one of our greatest podcast conversations and guests to date!
