Send us a text In this episode, I sit down with Andy MacKenzie, the former owner of Kwala Distribution - a key player in shaping the scene throughout the golden era of 90s Australian skateboarding. We talk about the early days of Kwala, the brands it supported, the tours it facilitated, and how it helped feed the culture, both locally and internationally. Andy opens up about the challenges of running an independent distro, what the skate industry looked like behind the curtain, and what brought about the company's eventual demise.

Send us a text This week, I sit down with Ray Ahn, founding member and bassist of the iconic Aussie band Hard-Ons. From their early days tearing up Sydney’s underground scene to their lasting impact on alternative and skate culture, Ray shares stories from the road, reflections on identity and art, and the resilience it takes to stay true to your craft for over four decades. We talk about the band's bold decision to bring Tim Rogers on as lead vocalist, life lessons learned along the way, and why Hard-Ons’ music has always been a perfect match for skateboarding and DIY culture. Recorded on location at their Marrickville studio, Ray told me, "This will be the last podcast I ever do." I hope not—he’s a kind, humble, and one-of-a-kind human with a deep well of wisdom to share.

Send us a text This week, we hangout with George Tichbon — aka Swellbows — to talk slams, soundtracks, digital animation, and the originality he brings to a genre of skateboarding that may lack it at times. From early days goon-bagging around the skate parks of the Gold Coast to the years he spent living in Texas USA, George breaks down the injuries that earned him his nickname, the mental grind of bouncing back, and the constant stream of creativity flowing through him. We get into skate crews, DIY culture, and how music and skating have always been two sides of the same coin. If you know, you know. Stories, laughs, and pure love for the scene, this is Swellbows (with a hang-over).
