This week’s PBS Feature Album is New Motion by local rockers The Double Agents.
Returning with their long-awaited third studio album, New Motion is a powerful recording evoking directness and immediacy, marking The Double Agents' first release of new material in nearly two decades.
The Double Agents’ initial incarnation circa 2000 saw the fiercely independent quintet rise from humble stages to becoming one of Melbourne’s most revered pub rock bands. They twice toured Europe and eventually shared the stage with iconic luminaries Dead Moon, Mudhoney, The Dirtbombs, Celibate Rifles, The White Stripes and The Black Keys before an amicable hiatus in 2008.
New Motion is a modern Australian rock record and marks a departure from their garage rock roots, as best exemplified in their self-released 2023 anthology compilation Best Bits… So Far spanning their first three releases.
Tune in all this week to hear tracks from New Motion and PBS Members have the chance to win a copy of the album on vinyl, simply email your name and membership number to before midnight Sunday June 30. Please note vinyl giveaways must be picked up from the station in Collingwood.
