Tony and Shippa have selected their 15 favourite tracks that have been played on the Uncut & Unsigned Show in 2025 to create their Unhinged 30. Both chose the same Number 1, but none of the other tracks matched up. So Tony was invited to add another to his list, and here they are, proving 16 plus 15 makes 30!
Tracks from (but not in any order other than alphabetical!) Ásgeir, Bang Lasso, Big Wheels, Downgirl, Fingerless, Folk Bitch Trio, Formidable Vegetable, Gecko, Grand Pricks, Gyasi, Hannah Acfield, Hassall, Hobsons Bay Coast Guard, Karly Jewell, Messiness, Middle Kids, Moderate Lovers, Sunsick Daisy, The Cherry Dolls, The Electorate, The Golden Gaytimes, The Grogans, The Laurels, The Phosphenes, The Silverbeets, Tombstones In Their Eyes, William Street Strikers...with a few double ups.
But who will be NUMBER 1!!! Tune in to find out!
