This year, Amy Shark’s album Love Monster went to Number One in her native Australia. But in the United States, the indie pop singer is still unknown, which makes her cover of Wheatus’ “Teenage Dirtbag” for the Spotify Singles series even more appropriately self-deprecating. And because it is her favorite song, you learn a lot about her past and present when she talks about it on the Under Cover podcast.

For those who are unaware. I am an Australian. And for a vast majority of my life I have been involved with the local music industry. I have played with the best and brightest this country has to offer from all walks of life, from all genres of music and who are skilled in all types of musical instruments.

AC/DC, Inxs, Midnight Oil, The Divinyls, Cold Chisel, Skyhooks, Rose Tattoo, The Angels, Dragon, Mondo Rock, Crowded House, Radio Birdman, The Bee Gees, Little River Band, Nick Cave, The Screaming Jets, Hoodoo Gurus, Masters Apprentice. What do all of these bands and musicians have in common? They all hail from a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains, of ragged mountain ranges, of drought and flooding rains.
That’s right, Australia, or as some of you like to call it, “Down Under”. And that’s not even all of them, trust me when I say that I have left some out of the list due to spacing issues. They all broke thru the barrier that is our isolation (or was, damn internet) and took their music to the masses, achieving both international success outside of their home country as well as setting a benchmark for the sound that would...
