From The Archives: A chat with Jeremy Jordan on the release of his album Try My Love in Australia, recorded 17th August 1993. For both a dance street magazine and Top 40 focused radio show.

[Audio quality is a shocker, due to tape-bleed from the only remaining copy of the interview. As for the line of questioning - like Jeremy at the time - the interviewer was just a teen finding their feet on how to interview International pop stars in 15 minute windows].

Tomorrow - at time of release - the artist who would later star next to Drew Barrymore (in Never Been Kissed) and other film roles they dreamed to be part of turns 49.

Want It All is the sophomore album from Little Wise, that in September 2022 turned three. Same time the new album was to be performed to audiences the health of the world was taking a turn and touring - which was part of ‘having it all’ - was effectively gone.

Ahead of performing at the Trinity Sessions, Little Wise's Sophie Klein joined John Murch at Sublime Cafe for a chat about life.

Teenage Dirtbag from Wheatus in 2022 is having a massive moment on TikTok with people like Madonna, The Pixies, Tara Reid, Drew Barrymore and everyday users of the platform using the tune to share moments of their youth.

This chat is from the archives, with Brendan of the band back from 2012 when Wheatus was about to tour Australia as part of Fat As Butter. They'd just released some internet recordings available through Blacktop Records.

We did not talk about the hit-song, there's a great doco on VICE about that.

Recently they've released Hey Mr.Brown 2020/Satan's Orders.

Freedom Williams in 1993 released a solo record call FREEDOM (Columbia) featuring the track 'Voice of Freedom' as well as 'Groove Your Mind'. A very green (and nervous) interviewer at the time John spoke to the artist who voiced rhymes across "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)", "Things That Make You Go Hmmm..." and many other C+C Music Factory cuts. 

 

From The Archives: Recorded 21st July 1993, for dance radio and street press at the time.
