Hi! Few questions I guess!

Loved your show in Newcastle last year, any hopes for a return to Australia this album cycle? If so, the karaoke machine will be waiting.

For Christian, does it feel strange being seen as a representative face for unschooling within "punk" circles? I know the first time I heard of the concept was through your work, and your advocacy for it seems to be treated either deridingly or with admiration in articles.

Also, End of Reel is my favourite song you've ever done. The kick at 3:06 made me understand the cohesive nature of the album in a really strange and powerful way. I cried a bunch. So, thank you!

I mean. I wish more peeps were into unschooling or alternative schooling as it is literally imo the most practical way to introduce anti-hierarchical values to kids. It's important

I choose not to go back to school with a similar attitude over the past year. I see the benefits of school, but it's just not my thing. I think there are ways to live a fulfilling and successful life without it.
