We kick off 2026 with Charlie Needs Braces. Charlie Needs Braces is a combination of Charlie and her sister, Miri. They are GuriNgai people now living down in Melbourne. The duo released their first EP in 2022, and last year saw them double down with the release of their second full-length album, NYAA WA. They've already won an Upstart Award and the Archie Roach Award, and join Adam today here in sunny Hollywood California.
