CABLE TIES – ” Say What You Mean / Same For Me “

Cable Ties’ Jenny McKechnie has something to say and you’d better listen. Her powerful voice brings a Bratmobile meets Wire vibe to their sound.

The debut LP from this Australian trio was full of piss and vinegar. The songs were based on great grooves the reminded me of Eddy Current Suppression Ring and the angst-ridden vocals of Jenny McKechnie flashed with hints of Sleater Kinney. A band to be reckoned with try to catch them live soon !.

Poison City Records is an independent record label, distributor and skateboard/ music store based in Melbourne, Australia.

Cable Ties are frenetic lead lines tethered to a hypnotic rhythm section. They take the 3 minute punk burner and stretch it past breaking point. Suddenly the garage rock gives way as primitive boogie, kraut and post-punk take things way out to the horizon.  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. It takes a community to make a record.

CAMP COPE – ” The Opener “

Image result for camp cope,

Camp Cope have made a fiery comeback with the first taste of their upcoming second album.

The empowering punk trio pretty much instantly found their musical voice – loud, fearless, sincere – on their self-titled debut album (which was nominated for a 2016 J Award).

Now we get ‘The Opener’, Camp Cope’s first new music since last year’s ‘Keep Growing’, which doesn’t mess much with the sound you’re used to but it does cement their status as a vital voice in the music scene as they simultaneously call out the hypocrisies within it. ‘The Opener’ bites back at the phoneys in a male-dominated industry who’ve told the band to do things every other which way but their own.

“It’s another all-male tour preaching equality,” bellows singer-guitarist Georgia Maq in a line dripping with acerbic determination; her cutting lyrics coiling around Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich’s mercurial bass melodies and Sarah Thompsons’ sturdy rhythmic backing.

The song is also the first taste of Camp Cope’s upcoming second full-length record. No title or release date yet but the LP is due sometime in 2018 (via Poison City Records)

CABLE TIES – ” Cable Ties “

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.

MERE WOMEN – ” Big Skies “

Mere Women

Sydney post-punk quartet Mere Women have released their new single ‘Big Skies‘, the first track taken from their third LP out this June via Poison City Records.

Released together with an accompanying video, ‘Big Skies‘ is their first piece of new music since the release of ‘Drive‘ last August, and will be launched with a string of shows around Australia.

‘Big Skies‘ is everything that encapsulates Mere Women: it’s hypnotic, unsettling, intense, angular and dark. Driving drums, shaking bass and a haunting guitar hook lay behind Amy Wilson’s vocals which have a range of their own. Wilson explains;

“Big Skies is inspired by when I was living out in a small regional NSW town. I left my friends and family and was living all alone in a big house. It was fun having all of that space and freedom but sometimes extremely lonely. I was told when I first moved to town that I should get a dog for protection which made me feel unsafe – like there was something I needed protection from.“

The video for the single shows the band wandering amongst the scenery of the Capertee Valley, the widest natural canyon in the world nestled amongst the Blue Mountains 135km north-west of Sydney. The clip finds beauty in nature and the inanimate alike – industrial buildings, rusted pipes and abandoned furniture laying out on soggy grounds. Together they trek over roads and unstable hills, with moments of blue and red lights flooding the night.

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.

Shades of Souixie/Joy Division/Magazine/All that was good in the 80’s…with a fresh twist. And I think I can hear some Au Pairs in there somewhere to,

Taken from forthcoming debut album on Poison City Records.
