One of our favourite emerging bands from the Country of Australia, Melbourne three-piece Cable Ties have have been slinging short, sharp bursts of punk majesty for a little while now, and, following a tour supporting Camp Cope earlier this year, it’s all about to culminate in the release of their self-titled debut LP.
Better yet, they’ve deservedly taken out this week’s Feature Album honours on triple j radio , giving their abrasive, politically-minded jams plenty of time to worm their way into the your ears. The album’s release is through Poison City Records.
Ascendant Melburnian three-piece Cable Ties are going to be super-busy over the next few months, announcing release details for their debut album and accompanying tour dates, plus the new video clip for recent single Say What You Mean, today.
Having only come together in 2015, the band have swiftly gathered a dedicated, growing following, their underground renown steering them towards festival stages by the time they’d hit their first anniversary. Armed with killer riffs, an incendiary attitude and sonic hallmarks too ferocious to justifiably ignore, there’s no reason to expect that their trajectory will peter out any time soon, either.
Our record heads out into the world on its own today. It’s now yours to do with as you will. It’s a product of one years’ writing, recording and mixing and 2 years of mastering, artwork, design, gigging and so much support from so many wonderful people. We are so thankful for all the people who have left their stamp on our music and our lives. Without them we – and this physical artifact – would never have been possible.
Drop everything and watch the brilliant new video for Cable Ties ‘Say What You Mean’ – produced by Defero Productions. Cable Ties just also announced their debut album is due out MAY 26th via Poison City Records.
Cable Ties is a name that’s been echoing around the dimply-lit pubs and clubs of Melbourne for a little while now, a raucous three-person shout that’s pricked the ears of all who’ve heard it in the band’s short lifespan.
It’s exciting to see that, despite having only kicked things off in 2015, they’ve just found a home with local legends Poison City Records as they gear up to release their debut LP. It’s the perfect place for them too, seeing them nestled alongside bands like Luca Brasi, Clowns, Screamfeeder, The Nation Blue, PCR’s formidable stable of noisy, noisy bands.
Having said that, Cable Ties are more than just a heap of noise ,they’re one of the new crop of bands pushing for recognition for female and non-gender-conforming acts . Having helped in carving out an enclave of acceptance in the Melbourne scene, they’re ideal candidates to expand that further . Their debut album will be out in May via, Poison City Records, but right now you can give their brand new track a spin below.
