Episode 56: Ciarann Babbington – Bakers Eddy

Are you someone who likes their music with a bit of energy and a bit of fun? Then let me point you towards Bakers Eddy.Formed in Wellington, New Zealand when its members were still quite young, the group found itself crafting a pop-punk sound and issuing a few tracks and an EP before heading west and relocating to Melbourne, Australia.Since 2017, Bakers Eddy have been an Australian band in location only, with the group's profile consistently rising ahead of their debut album, 'Love Boredom Bicycles,' in 2022. And rightly so – it's a solid record and one that definitely shows the level of passion and skill they bring to their craft.Since then though, things had been a bit quiet, with the group largely remaining silent on the recording front until this year. That's not to say they've been taking it easy – with appearances both at home and abroad, there's been plenty of activity, but we didn't get new music until the singles from their latest EP, 'I'm Doing Better.'A solid release that really captures the band's maturity and their growth as songwriters and people, it's a record that's certainly worth your time.To celebrate its release, I was lucky enough to have a chat with Ciarann Babbington from the band about their history, and everything that has led up to the new EP.Anyway, have a listen to Bakers Eddy's 'I'm Doing Better,' have a listen to our chat, and I’ll see you at the end of the episode for some general housekeeping.
