Public Figures - Onto Something

    

  Public Figures are a new punk infused power pop quartet from Melbourne who boast a line up of Evie Vlah, Gigi Argiro, Lakota Vella and Mary-Lou Hylands. 

  They've released 3 singles over the course of the last 18 months and these will feature on their upcoming debut ep alongside 3 more tracks. The ep will be titled Figure It Out! It's released on Feb 18th on 12" vinyl and you can find out more here : https://publicfigures4eva.bandcamp.com/album/figure-it-out-ep

  One gig saw them wow a 10,000 strong Melbourne crowd as support for Amyl And The Sniffers. Their star is definitely in the ascendancy. 

  This is my pick of the available tracks, it's called Onto Something...  

Dr Sure's Unusual Practice - No Pigs

    

  Dr Sure's Unusual Practice (https://www.instagram.com/drsuresunusualpractice/) are a now-wave music band from Melbourne featuring a line up of Dougal Shaw, Jake Suriano, Miranda Holt, Mathias Dowle and Asher Bates. 

  They're "7 years, 3 European tours, 3 LP's and a hoard of EP's and mixtapes into the project." I've played them on the show before but haven't yet introduced them on here so let's rectify that. 

  They've a new single out on the 10th of this month. One of the songs is already available. It's a love song with a difference of which the band say; “Pigs is an Animal Farm reference - it’s nothin’ new for art to hold a mirror to society. Sing “10 year old kids locked up in your prison” and you pretty quickly recognize the absurdity. Music can have a role in making that shit plain as day, bringing people together.” "It's about a farm with a pig problem," quips Shaw, describing the song's Orwellian portrayal of a coercive ruling class, "Animal Farm style, but the other animals are clued on to it, they're getting fired up."

  It'll be available on 7" coloured vinyl and as a digital download
