Mark it in your diaries folks, 'cause the annual PBS 106.7FM Open Day is back! Going down on Saturday November 9, please join us during the hours of 12 'til 3pm (Fiesta Jazz and Switched On) as we swing open the doors to PBS at Collingwood Yards!

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Cartoon Darkness from Naarm/Melbourne's homegrown pub-rock heroes, Amyl and The Sniffers. 

The 13-track project follows the band's 2019 self-titled debut and their 2021 hit Comfort To Me, delving into provocative explorations of climate change, war, AI, tiptoeing on the eggshells of politics, and Big Tech. In the face of these looming realities, Amyl and The Sniffers dive headfirst into the unknown, combating the chaos with childlike sensibilities that capture the playful rock n' roll grit we know and love.

This week’s PBS Feature Album is Just My Luck from BATTS, the project of Naarm/Melbourne-based musician, Tanya Batt.

The recent release follows her AMP nominated sophomore album ‘The Nightline’ which was supported around the world by BBC 6 Music, NPR, Brooklyn Vegan, NME, Sterogum and other prominent outlets. Batt’s main focus for the third album was to fall in love with music again, to find the joy and playfulness in it all, something she felt she had lost through grief and the toxicities that exist in the industry.

Amrap has announced a new partnership between the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) and Gadigal Information Service (GIS) to relaunch the First Sounds compilation series.
