The first time I heard Owl of the Swamp, my friend and I were driving late at night down Sydney Road. Tricks and Turns began playing on the radio, and we found ourselves lulled into a warm sleepy daze by the beautiful folk melody. Wanting to hear more, I immediately wrote his name down on...

The first time I heard World’s End Press, I was at Falls Festival for New Year’s Eve. I ended up by chance in front of the stage while they were playing. I usually do not believe in chance, that day I certainly did not, because there was inevitably a reason why I ended up in...
