#NowPlaying Tired Lion - Breakfast for Pathetics (2020). Described at the time by NME as 'gloriously grungy anthems of personal growth,' Brisbane based frontwoman Sophie Hopes plays everything bar the drums, she even manages some whistling on an album full of hooks and memorable lyrics.

We all knew this story was coming from the bits and pieces that have already been out there, but however you parse it (and I believe the women, obviously), he seems like a thoroughly odious and abusive individual. I'm always wary of self-declaring feminists. www.vulture.com/article/neil...

Beatrice Romaine Bradford - married surname Brooks - had a quite extraordinary life, it reads like something out of a Bradford Taylor Bradford novel awaiting adaptation by ITVX.
