On this episode of the LISTENTOSWISS podcast, I talk with Australian drummer Chris Allison (@chrisallisondrums) about touring with PLINI, the importance of switching off from social media, the skate-punk rite of passage, and advice on how to get continued paid work as a musician.

"Chris is a session drummer based out of Sydney, Australia, where he has established himself as an exciting musician with a chameleon-like approach to making music. Bringing together his love of odd rhythmic phrasing, improvisation & strong sense of groove, he is equally at home playing pocket as he is with playing complex arrangements."

"Martina is a drummer and musician who in her considerably short career has gained notable achievements.
