Elisabeth from local Melbourne act No/Trauma joined Jason on the phone to chat about their very new band and the new track they’ve just released.

No/Trauma is a band made up of three queer people making emo folk music. Singing about vulnerability, connection and identity. It’s a bit like Paul Kelly meets Kelly Clarkson, but sadder and queerer.

Their new track Six Foot Flawless is a three minute thirty second anthemic burst of self love about growing up, being queer as in “f**k you” and learning to love yourself with a little bit of inspiration from the Greek Amazons of legend.

Elisabeth clarified what roley poley meant by them in their track, with Jason noting he totally misunderstood.
