Episode 67: My Friend James Alex (Beach Slang/Weston)

Rock & roll is a world that rarely gives second chances - so, when James Alex decided to give it another go-around, few could have predicted that he'd immediately strike gold with Beach Slang; who have gone on to become one of the most hyped indie-rock bands on the planet. It came some 20 years after Alex originally broke into the world of music with Weston, a cult pop-punk outfit for which he played guitar - and yet, their worlds are completely different, yet more closely aligned than you might think. In July, Alex made his maiden voyage to Australia with Beach Slang as a part of the massive line-up for Splendour in the Grass. Upon arriving in Sydney, he took some time out in the foyer of his hotel room to share his unique, unexpected and eventful story.
