We caught up with Juanita Stein, front-woman of Australian indie-rockers Howling Bells, and asked whether the title of their new album, Radio Wars, was a bite at the people that control the airwaves or if there was a deeper meaning to the album title: ‘No. Yes. Maybe. I’m not sure about the folk that control the airwaves. I suppose it’s more of a social comment about us versus technology and all the effects that trickle down from there. Our lack of connection with each other and the world around us is a very real concern and Radio Wars came to incorporate all that and more. What we’re saying throughout the record is very optimistic and hopeful!’
