If you've not yet heard of 5-piece rock band Tolhurst, then it's safe to say they'd be incredibly surprised.

Since forming in late 2009, the boys would admit that they've been all talk and little goods... but with a fresh EP in one hand and a well-oiled, word-of-mouth publicity machine in the other, Tolhurst is set to hit the main stage of Sydney's rock music scene with an epic blast!

The members of Tolhurst are soulbound to a love for punk and rock music and have captured a vibrant energy on their first studio release, which is launched this Saturday, June 26 at YoYo's in the band's home turf of Frenchs Forest and with support from local acts Aaron Welsh and The Ivy's.

Download the latest edition of our podcast to hear our interview with Tolhurst as well as the first track from their debut EP - Satisfactions Guaranteed.

We at the Sydney Music Podcast recently caught up with local hip-hop artist Benevolent. Our interview with him is now available on our podcast.

Benevolent's story is dramatic to say the least. During our interview he was openly candid about his previous struggles with drug addiction, depression and suicide and how the power of music helped pull him through his darkest moments.

With the past now behind him and with renewed focus on producing music, he's just recorded his first full-length LP and has made his first track Another World available for free download within our podcast.

You can listen to the podcast in the player on the right-hand side of our site, or you can subscribe and download it for free on iTunes or through the RSS links at the top of the page.
