Dan Rankin (aka Trials)

That Australian Adelaidean accent.

Coming through on a rap song, it blew my mind.

So I caught a train to the city and I bought the record.

I go home, I put it on, and I'm reading the liner notes like I do.

And on the back it said, manufactured in Lonsdale, South Australia.

And that's the next suburb from Hackham where me and Hanson grew up.

And I'm like, how's this made here in this industrial area?

What?

How does that happen?

It was right next door to me.

So we were just talking before about how you had a car crash, got some money with that, bought a couple of turntables and a cheap mic.

You look at the line of the Hilltop Hoods and it's saying this is made in the next suburb and that's the profound impact.

It is mind-blowing to me that that thing that I'm idolising, that I'm hearing that sounds world-class is made next door.

Killed me.

And I...

Got out a pen and paper and I started writing a letter to that straight away.

I had need to tell these guys I fucking love them.

So I sent them a letter saying, my name is Dan.

I love rap music.

Does anybody else like rap music in Australia?
