The Secret Life of Music Collectors
Do you have a loved one who only wears band T-shirts? Maybe they listen exclusively to live bootlegs? Or are hiding a a stash of gig posters in their wardrobe alongside their clothes?

Graves
Auckland DIY hardcore band Graves recently unleashed their third release, Fides Ad Nauseam. Filled with violent bursts of turbo-speed grinding noise, the album is intense, to say the least. Music 101 metal correspondent Craig Hayes caught up with Graves’ Josh Hughes to discuss where the band see themselves sitting on the punk/metal spectrum.
