The OnlyBands Hosts

Jed Lalor

Yes, Jed is that guy who's missing a tooth that you see everywhere screaming louder then the band so all you hear is his tone deaf arse singing. He will never not tell you about his Smith Street band tattoo he got to get into a sold out show. Jed's best (only) quality is his banter.

Quintin Low

Notorious in the Brisbane music scene for engaging in a series of increasingly wacky weekend hijinks, Quintin also aims to contribute a refreshing level of basic literacy that's usually missing in music journalism.

Josip Zirdum

Josip's that guy that's either picking punters up to crowd surf or being that guy handing out stickers in the pit to promote his latest entrepreneurial venture. He loves three things in life: live music, cannabis and business. He's unsure of which he loves most.
