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.

Featured Music

“Servo Pie” (Lyric Video) – Rob Steele & the Thieves

Key Discussion Points

The Upside — Faster creation, idea generation, accessibility for new artists, and hybrid human-AI workflows.

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.

This week on Unfiltered & Undiscovered, Curly, Rossy andBraggy sit down with Nathan Jones, the creative force behind New Birds, for athoughtful conversation about returning to music after time away and finallyallowing creativity to exist without compromise.

Nathan shares the story behind his new eight-track albumThere’s a Hum Behind the Silence, a record that wasn’t written to chase trendsor momentum, but instead grew from a quieter, more deliberate place. Afteryears of balancing practical life, work, and responsibility, the pull of musicnever truly disappeared — it simply waited until the right moment to be heardagain.

🎶 What We Cover in ThisEpisode

· His previous band The International Language ofMime and the creative path that followed

· The story and inspiration behind There’s a HumBehind the Silence

· The idea of returning to creativity withoutpretending or reinventing yourself

🌱 Returning to the Work

One of the central themes of the conversation is the ideathat creativity doesn’t disappear — it simply waits. Nathan talks about how music kept “insisting” over the years, even when life demanded attention elsewhere.

Rather than trying to manufacture a comeback, the New Birdsproject emerged from something simpler: listening to that voice again and letting the work exist on its own terms.

🎧 The Album: There’s aHum Behind the Silence

Nathan describes the album as a quiet but deliberatecollection of songs — reflective, patient, and honest. The title itself speaksto the idea that even in silence, there is movement beneath the surface.

It’s a record about:

· creative patience

· authenticity over performance

· and rediscovering the part of yourself thatnever really left.

🎤 Why You Should Listen

If you love:

· thoughtful independent music

· conversations about creativity and identity

· artists returning to their craft after time away

· honest discussions about life and art

This episode offers a reflective and inspiring look at whathappens when you stop asking permission and simply let the music exist.

This week on Unfiltered & Undiscovered, the boys sit down with one of Australian country music’s brightest rising stars — Saralyn. Recently named the 2026 People’s Choice Awards TCMF Country Music Bulletin Most Promising Future Star, Saralyn’s journey is built on family, faith, grit, and a deep love for country storytelling.

From growing up as one of ten children and busking alongside her dad, to national television on The Voice Australia 2025 with Ronan Keating as her coach, Saralyn shares the real story behind the momentum. This conversation explores the hard work behind the headlines — the late nights, regional tours, and the balancing act of being a proud mum of two while building a fast‑rising music career.

• Winning the 2026 People’s Choice Awards TCMF Country Music Bulletin Most Promising Future Star

• Her experience on The Voice Australia 2025

• Busking in her early years and how family shaped her sound

• The songwriting process

• Balancing motherhood with a growing national music career

We also dive into her upcoming national tour, TRAILBLAZER – A Lainey Wilson Tribute Show, and what fans can expect as she continues to build momentum across the country.

If you love:

• Rising Australian country artists

• Stories built on family and resilience
