Rachel Finucane’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I'm an Australian music journalist who believes a great interview is just a great conversation with a deadline. My work spans The Music (Australia's largest online music magazine, 300,000+ readers), The Honey POP — where I write, interview, and peer-review edit — and X Press Magazine. I also spent four years writing for Random Acts, Misha Collins' beloved charity, which taught me that the best stories live at the intersection of music, fandom, and genuine human weirdness. Passionate about artis…

Exclusive Interview: Bike Routes Finds No Shortcuts Through The Feels On Prairie

|
By Rachel Finucane Verified
| The Honey POP Verified
Don’t bike routes just make us crave the comfort of home? At least that’s the feeling David Osterhout—the indie tearjerker and multi-instrumentalist behind the artist moniker Bike Routes—conjures so effortlessly. His dirt-path aesthetic is every bit as gritty as his lyrics, and nowhere is that more alive than on his latest album Prairie: an 11-track diary of a person who clearly stopped mid-ride, took in a breathtaking view, and had no choice but to write it all down.

Our butterfly-clipped, frosted-lipped, early 2000s pop sweetheart Hilary Duff is back, glitter-bombing iconic arenas on her Lucky Me Tour and, apparently, moonlighting as a meteorologist with “Weather For Tennis” off the new album, Luck… or Something.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

If there’s one journalist I aspire to be, it’s Rory Gilmore. With a coffee in one hand and a stack of books in the other, she’s the perfect blend of ambition, wit, and impeccable taste.

What's your favorite social network?

Twitter is my favorite social network because it feels like an artist's diary, bursting with raw thoughts, snippets of creativity, and a dash of delightful chaos.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

I loved reviewing AC/DC at Optus Stadium in 2025 for X-Press Magazine. I grew up watching Supernatural, so its soundtrack of classic rock was deeply embedded in my music taste, and it made my inner teenager feel seen.
