short Fast Loud
short.fast.loud is a radio show on Triple J in Australia. It is hosted by Stuart Harvey and features punk, hardcore, emo and similar music. The show runs on a Wednesday night from 10pm to 1am and started broadcast in mid-2004 in a 2-hour format. A major feature of the show is interviews with bands both in the studio and via phonelink, and scene reports from listeners around Australia. Touring bands have also played acoustic sets in the studio, which have been broadcast on the show.
In the middle of every year listeners are invited to submit their top releases of the year so far for a mid-year countdown special. At the end of each year listeners are invited to submit a ranked list of their ten favourite releases of the year for an end-of-year countdown special.
The show makes a point of supporting local and emerging artists. A large proportion of the music played is Australian and there are some all-Australian music nights. Tracks from demos sent to the show are also often played.
