In this unfiltered deep dive, Curly, Braggy, and Rossy tackle one of the hottest (and most divisive) topics in music right now: the explosive rise of AI-generated music.

We break down the real benefits — democratising creation, smashing through writer’s block, and giving bedroom creators superpowers — alongside the serious challenges: job displacement for musicians, copyright chaos, flooding the market with “good enough” tracks, and the big question of soul and authenticity.

To keep it grounded in real Aussie grit, we spotlight a fresh track born from the our Community and the Your Pace & Glory Project: “Servo Pie” by Rob Steele & the Thieves. This raw pub-punk anthem was created with AI assistance (Suno) but finished with proper human touch, coordination, and mastering by Tony Curl.

It’s the perfect case study: Can humans outplay the machine when it comes to genuine, sing-along, late-night servo stories that actually mean something to Australian ears? The Servo Pie Sessions. Check out our website for more information

We discuss:

How AI is speeding up music making and opening doors for undiscovered talent

The risks of market saturation and losing emotional depth

Why “human touch” still matters in a world of instant tracks

Whether artists can (and should) use AI as a collaborator rather than a replacement

Welcome to the Servo Pie Sessions — a hands-on way for musical artists to experiment, and compete against the machine. Can you beat the Suno version of Servo Pie?

If you’re a musician, producer, or just love real Aussie rock and honest conversations, this episode is for you.

The Downside — Revenue threats to working musicians, copyright lawsuits, generic output, and questions around authenticity.

The Servo Pie Example — How AI can spark a track, but real human coordination and mastering give it genuine Aussie pub energy and sing-along heart.

Servo Pie Sessions — A practical invitation for musical artists to experiment, and compete against the machine. Can you beat the Suno version of Servo Pie?

We sat down with high-energy country artist Sam Riddle — the Montana-born, Vegas-honed, Nashville-signed showman who brings raw honesty, piano-driven grooves, and proper Vegas swagger to his music.

From growing up in a showbiz family (dad in the legendary Mission Mountain Wood Band) to pivoting from basketball stardom, conquering the Las Vegas Strip, opening for Luke Bryan, Dwight Yoakam, Hank Williams Jr., and Toby Keith, and now chasing that big 2026 album under Epifonic Records — this chat is packed with unfiltered stories, laughs, and real-talk about the grind.

Fresh off his jukebox country anthem “Drink With Your Name On It” (released February 20, 2026) and riding the momentum of “Bad Picker,” Sam opens up about small-town memories, no-smoke-no-mirrors hustle, and what it takes to blend Montana roots with Vegas lights and Nashville ambition.

If you love authentic journeys, high-energy country, and zero-filter industry truths, crank this one up.

Fresh off the release of her high-energy new single Ace of Spades (dropped 13 March 2026), Nikisha opens up about her wild ride so far: from classical training to busking markets, landing Kyle Sandilands’ wildcard on Australian Idol, grinding Tamworth stages, and blending P!NK power, Amy Winehouse soul, and Lainey Wilson country-rock swagger into her own edgy sound.

This is raw, honest, laugh-out-loud, and inspiring chat about what it really takes to stand out as a young emerging artist in Australia. If you love authentic stories, fresh Aussie music, and zero gatekeeping — this one’s for you.
