After 13 years away, Perth progressive powerhouse band Karnivool return with In Verses - a record that once again demonstrates the raw emotion, precision and profound rock power that has made them one of Australia's most beloved rock exports.  In this episode of We Wreck Records, the beloved Aussie rock icons talk about starting out in Australia's most isolated city, the sometimes hilarious making of this exquisite suite of songs, the records that taught them how to feel and why their music is like acupuncture - hitting all the right pressure points for the people that have followed the band for decades. From "sad boy music" and prog fans quietly weeping in the front row, to the patience required to finish a record on their own terms, this is a grounded, honest conversation about endurance, connection, and why In Verses had to be made.

Anatomy of Album Covers dives into the emotional and conceptual work behind some of heavy music's most striking imagery. Visual artist Caroline Harrison talks about translating sound into feeling, why discomfort can be beautiful, and how album art becomes an extension of the music itself. From obsessive lyric study and research rabbit holes to themes of anxiety, tenderness, violence, and feminine rage, Caroline breaks down her process, her collaborations with bands, and the personal history embedded in her work. This is a deep, thoughtful conversation about art as emotional regulation, connection, and survival, and why some images are meant to make you feel uneasy before they make you feel understood.  We Wreck Records is proudly presented by: DISTROKID: distrokid.com/wewreckrecords Visit the above link for 30% off your first year with Distrokid.  GRILLO'S PICKLES: grillos.com Enjoy a pickle, live a little!

Return to Dust are one of the most exciting young rock bands of the 2020s. They are melodic, melancholic, heavy when it counts, and armed with harmonies sharp enough to cut glass. Backstage in the US, we talked about what a real rock revival actually needs: great melodies, emotional honesty, and the kind of songs that punch straight through the noise. We got into the band's origins, from video games and older brothers to burnout soundtracks. We talked metal, harmonies, breaking out in a festival world ruled by legacy giants, and the strange spirituality of Pink Floyd moments. There are therapy breakthroughs, bank robbery energy, and a lot of heart.
