The Australian troubadour Xavier Rudd has been in the business for decades releasing his tenth studio album this year. Known for his lyrics advocating peace and a spiritual connectedness with nature, the artist is closely in touch with the Aboriginal communities of the country.

Hypes come and go, but rarely do they take such vigorous and consuming shape as on the self-titled LP of rising indie rockers Wet Leg. Ahead of their anticipated debut, NBHAP editor Andreas caught up with lead singer Rhian Teasdale to chat about their origins, existentialism and everything else that surrounds the release of their first full-length.

Almost ten years after joining NBHAP during its early days, blog veteran Norman Fleischer decided to step down from his leading position, making room for a new team and a new vision of your favourite music media. This is a personal reflection on the changes the project and the music industry went through during the past decade and a friendly invitation to embrace whatever happens next.
