Jason Recliner are Canberra's best band that never tried to be. They are as surprised by this as their several hard-core fans aren't. Demonstrating that songs about West Wyalong, The Lyneham Motor Inn and Climate Change (cleverly disguised as a song about libraries) are definitely not passe, Jason Recliner are living proof that aiming for mediocrity is one path to excellence.

The Cashews are the musical duo Canberra had to have. As much local historians as singer-songwriters, they have skillfully woven our past and present into charming ear worms cunningly disguised as simple folk songs.
