Beyond Deep Blue: Winston McCall of Parkway Drive
I had a chat with Winston McCall, frontman of Australia’s mighty Parkway Drive, and talked about hitting pots and pans on the new album, life after Deep Blue and exactly why he’s a son of a battlechief…
I heard you play one of the tracks of your new album live. It was pretty full-on…
Yeah it went down a treat huh? Just a little sneak peek for you there.
Have you guys been playing that every night on tour?
Yeah, it’s been going down really well. It’s pretty weird that you can have a new song that no one’s heard and it still be one of the best songs of the set. I’m feeling really good about the new record, it’s like “Hey heres something that you don’t know” and “Oh you’re moving more to this one than you do to anything else?!”, but yeah, that’s how we write our songs.

The Shape of Hardcore to Come: Jeremy Bolm of Touché Amoré
I sat down with Jeremy Bolm, frontman of the very awesome Touché Amoré, to burst the bubble on The Wave, chat “exciting, new, honest, emotional, pissed off, REAL music” and define the shape of hardcore to come.
First off, how would you say Touché’s sound differs from more traditional hardcore bands?
When our band started we were just really influenced by throwback 90s screamo bands like Page 99. That was our influence but we’re hardcore kids an so when we were playing that stuff it just morphed into the rough Touché sound over time, we went through a number of changes and got much tighter as a band.
We’ve found our sound even more so recently… especially with the last record. I hate the term post-hardcore ‘cause I still think we’re a hardcore band… like Thursday. Thursday will tell you they’re a hardcore band even though they don’t sound like one, it’s difficult to just define something as ‘hardcore’ - it’s such a broad term.
