Tune in to hear from this Melbourne based artist.

With their new album 'Necropolitan', UK band Green Lung has stripped back some of the elaborate production that their album 'This Heathen Land' showcased.

The second album from DC Maxwell called 'The Singer' came out in May, and today on Radio City, DC Maxwell and his band will be joining Crispi to perform tracks from the album, live in Studio 3.

Tune in for this live performance.
