If you're a fan of pop rock, you've come to the right place; on this episode I’m speaking to The Faim - specifically singer Josh Raven - and the two of us discuss the Australian band’s recently released second album, the ferociously catchy Talk Talk.
Let me tell you something about interviewing bands. Sometimes it’s easy. You speak to a musician and the truth pours out of their mouths. Sometimes it’s much harder. It’s like digging for diamonds. You have to get right in there and wiggle the shiny bits in the soil until they fall out and you learn something new. This interview was a bit closer to the latter than the former.
