Party Dozen Studio 5 Live

Thu 20 Feb 2025
Studio 5 Live

Party Dozen, consisting of saxophonist Kirsty Tickle and percussionist Jonathan Boulet, released their fourth album, Crime In Australia late last year. The album was a highly anticipated follow-up to their international breakthrough, The Real Work (2022). That album included many new developments in the band’s evolution that earned them significant praise – most notably the Nick-Cave-featured 'Macca The Mutt', the surprisingly radio-friendly skronk of 'Fruits Of Labour', and the epic string-drenched beauty of 'Risky Behaviour'. 

Close Counters - LOVER'S DANCE ACADEMY

Mon 17 Feb 2025 to Sun 23 Feb 2025
Feature Sounds

This week's PBS Feature Album is LOVER'S DANCE ACADEMY, the new album from Naarm/Melbourne-based duo Close Counters.

Delivery Studio 5 Live

Thu 13 Feb 2025
Studio 5 Live

Local rockers Delivery have just released their sophomore album Force Majeure via Heavenly Recordings, a label with a long history of championing young Australian bands, from The Vines to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and Confidence Man. The 12 track album packs a punch with walls of guitars that bite and scratch, a locked down rhythm section and four voices singing, taking the listener through an explosive musical journey.

Gamelan DanAnda & Firetail - Anglayang

Mon 10 Feb 2025 to Sun 16 Feb 2025
Feature Sounds

This week's PBS Feature Album is Anglayang, the new album from acclaimed Balinese gamelan orchestra Gamelan DanAnda, in collaboration with electro-jazz-fusion group Firetail.
