After years of playing in different bands and touring together, Benny J Ward and members of local garage-pop outfit Lava Fangs are uniting for a split 7" record.

'Mixed Light' is the latest and 8th album from Ned Collette, and the record flows freely between styles, genre-hopping and rollercoasting through moods.

Today on Radio City, Crispi catches up with Ned about his new album, chatting about his 20+ year career.

For its fifteenth anniversary, Adalita has been performing her self-titled album in full, which marked the beginning of her remarkable solo journey.

Michael Mulholland is joined by Adalita on Junkyard to chat about the record.

Kilat stops by Burning Bitumen to catch up with Kene.
