This week's PBS Feature Album is 370HSSV 0773H, the hotly anticipated third studio LP by pub-rockers Private Function. On this release, Private Function brings their penchant for fierce hilarity and their septic tank of sonic influences to the fore, cramming them all into a bite-sized fever dream.
The range of influences on this record lends itself to its thrilling unpredictability and showcases the band’s ability to swiftly zig-zag between genres, leaning into decades of music past for inspiration.
Leaping between high-octane garage-punk (‘Jusavinageez’), ‘70s style rock’n’roll (‘I Dunno What I’m Doing Anymore’, ‘Good Fight, Good Night’), brutal thrash metal (‘Time For The Urn’, ‘Seize and Destroy’) and stadium-rock numbers (‘Don’t Wanna Go Out On The Weekend’, ‘Yellow’), the album is as impulsive as it is intoxicating.
Tune in all this week to hear tracks from 370HSSV 0773H, and PBS Members have the chance to win a vinyl copy of the album via this Tuesday's e-newsletter, so make sure you check your inbox! Please note that winners will need to pick up their record from the station in Collingwood.
