Summer Music Festival Season is upon us and the BEST one to kick it all off with is Good Things Festival which showcased a plethora of heavy, alternative and quirky bands on their 2019 lineup that catered to a wide range of musical preferences. We hit the ground running at the Melbourne and Brisbane legs of the East Coast run to get you up close and personal with a stack of bands from the roster.

Podcast host Paul 'Browny' Brown was joined by Wall of Sound writers Carys Hurcom and Tamara May who caught up with the likes of Parkway Drive, Simple Creatures, Ice Nine Kills, Violent Soho, Reel Big Fish, Enter Shikari, Poppy, Simple Plan and Slowly Slowly to get YOU up close and personal and asking the questions YOU want to know...

Does Winston McCall from Parkway Drive care about the ARIAs? What does the forthcoming Simple Plan album sound like? What part of Australia do the boys from Reel Big Fish want to visit that not many Aussies have ventured to themselves and how does pop punk icon Mark Hoppus react when seeing a tattoo of his face on a massive fanboy? 

Well, guess you'll have to take a listen to find out as Wall of Sound goes backstage at Good Things Festival 2019 with our 'Good People Doing Good Things' special!

Good Things Festival 2019 is fast approaching and if you can't tell, we're so bloody keen for the East Coast run to arrive, so much so, we've tracked down a few of the bands featuring on the lineup for a chat including Enter Shikari, Ice Nine Kills and Trivium.

Join podcast host Browny as he FINALLY gets closure from Rou Reynolds (Enter Shikari) about their latest album The Spark which was arguably their most heartfelt release to date and find out why it's taken them over two years to get down to Australia to play songs off it for us. Talking about touring delays, Spencer Charnas (Ice Nine Kills) also discusses why his band took their time to make it to Australia and how he came up with the ideas behind their incredible new album The Silver Scream which features songs written about horror/thriller movies from your childhood. He also talks about what the late Wes Craven meant to him and if the band would consider doing a sequel album with more movies they missed out on. Then Matt Heafy (Trivium) jumps in to talk Dad chat, how their latest album The Sin and The Sentence has been universally praised and how he still fanboys over metal heroes, just like we do with him.

We also take a look at the festival's sideshows, how YOUR BAND could potentially play at the event and thrash songs from bands on the lineup including Simple Plan, Gravemind, Thy Art Is Murder, Poppy, The Damned Things, The Veronicas, Windwaker and more...
