Studio 5 Live

Heavy blues-psych band Child performed live to air on Pojama People on Tuesday July 4, 2023, alongside a chat with Chris Pearson.

Cable Ties - All Her Plans

Mon 3 Jul 2023 to Sun 9 Jul 2023
Feature Sounds

When public support systems fall short, who ends up carrying the burden? The question courses through All Her Plans, the third album from local rock trio Cable Ties - this week's PBS Feature Album.

The band’s most sonically confident work yet, All Her Plans builds on Cable Ties trademarks: taut garage rhythms, wiry guitar lines, incandescent vocals. Bassist Nick Brown’s and drummer Shauna Boyle’s kraut-inflected grooves pulse behind the post-punk jag of Jenny McKechnie’s guitar.
