Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Show requested. So here it is. As long as you've got da-da-dada.
It's ZM's Brian Clint Podcast.
Our next guests have just won the People's Choice Award at the 2026 New Zealand Music Awards and they've got a new album dropping tomorrow. Please welcome to the studio Ben, Jackson, Matthew and Max from Borderline.
Chapter 2: What award did Borderline recently win?
It's It's the lads. It's the boys. Lads, lads, lads, lads.
It's great to be here. It's great to be here. It's a great time to be here with a new album dropping very shortly as well. Yes. How exciting. Very exciting.
Doesn't quite feel real yet.
But it's been a crazy month winning the AMA as well. It's been a pretty fabulous month. I won't lie.
It's been good for us. The album's coming out. We've been waiting for so long for this damn thing to come out. And obviously, yeah, the award is great too.
Is that the award you boys want to win? Like people's choice is pretty special.
Well, that's the only one. There's no debating it.
It's funny because we were nominated for three other awards. And then once we realized that we were sat in the middle of the row and everyone was getting their awards from the edge seats, we were like, we lost all hope. We were like, we'll just have a few drinks. We had a few drinks.
We were like, this is fine now.

Chapter 3: How does winning the People's Choice Award feel for the band?
Don't worry. I've sent her heaps of messages over the years. Never got a response. I'm in the same boat.
Maybe she's just not on her phone much or something.
I think that's it. Do not disturb. You guys have done a North American tour recently as well. Yeah. Is it still, I mean, I've never been on tour with a band before. Is it still sex, drugs, and rock and roll?
Chapter 4: What was the band's experience at the Aotearoa Music Awards?
Did you live in a band? Is it wild? It's not wild.
It's actually like lemon and honey tea.
Stretchers. Yeah, stretchers. Stretchers. Yeah, lots of stretchers. Why stretches? Do you do like gymnastic routines?
Yeah, we do lots of yoga and some physio.
What's your favourite yoga pose?
Oh, well, I mean, maybe this one. I have to do physio to be able to, you know, be able to play the guitar pretty hard out.
Down with dogs, a goodie. Crouching Tiger's good for me. Crouching Tiger's a goodie. There was a period of time, particularly here in New Zealand, where it didn't seem like it was cool to be in a band anymore. You know, like it sort of fell by the wayside. I think we peaked with big, huge stadium rock acts like Foo Fighters and maybe people got a bit burnt out. But I feel like it's back.
Bands are back. Bands are back.
I actually said that this morning. I think we got into a bedroom pop phase and it wasn't as cool to go watch live bands. But people are loving it now. Post-COVID, I think people just want to be hot and sweaty at a band rock show.

Chapter 5: What insights do the band share about touring?
This is like a dream come true. We get to go for the full three days and just hang out.
Wow. Go hang out with Liam.
Who are you guys backing when you go to the Formula One? It's a Ferrari, McLaren. Who is it?
Sugar-free Red Bull. You're about to find out we all have no other hobbies other than music and we know nothing about the F1. But trust me, we're going to do our studying before we go. I was going to say, yeah, we'll ask. I like sugar-free Red Bull racing.
My flatmate is McLaren all the way, so we kind of butt heads on it sometimes.
Boys, I have come up with a little bit of a game to get to know you lads better. We're calling it Fine or Borderline. I'll give you a scenario and you say, completely fine or it's a bit borderline for me, okay?
Okay.
Question number one.
We need honesty too, by the way.

Chapter 6: How does the band stay healthy on tour?
And a consensus from the band.
Yeah, okay. Posting an Instagram story at the gym.
Well, what's the Instagram story of?
You pump and weight. Fine. Self-love. Yeah, fine. I think that's fine. Hey, thank you.
I may have posted one this morning, so thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good on you. Targeted from Brie.
Thank you.
It was targeted. Question number two, taking your shoes off on a plane.
Oh, that is so fine.

Chapter 7: What are the band's thoughts on the current music scene?
No, no, no. Socks is where you draw the line.
I agree.
Socks stay on. Socks stay on. Socks stay on.
But when you're on one of those 18-hour long-haul flights, you've got to take the shoes off or else.
I totally agree. Maybe not an hour flight to Palmerston North. That's a bit weird.
Don't swipe the screen with your toes like that guy did on TikTok. That's all.
Don't stick your feet up in between the seats and bother the people in front of you.
Stick your toe in the person's ear in front of you.
Yeah, that's yuck.

Chapter 8: What unique items does Borderline request for their rider?
I'm proud of you, man. It's nice that you're coaching. That's why we poo in our safe space. Exactly.
Did I just say that's such a vile word? Yeah, no.
Taking a dump.
Sorry, I think what we're looking for, it's borderline.
It's not borderline.
It's objectively offensive.
I'll say what I did was wrong and I regret it, so borderline.
Okay. What about watching a full movie on a weeknight? Yeah, that's so fine. I kind of do that every night.
No, I can't abide that. Sorry, no. Movies are weekend behavior.
