Melbourne punks Private Functionofficially release their debut LP St. Anger. Filled with snarling punk numbers, classic power-pop melodies and the band’s signature brand of anthemic pub rock tunes, St. Anger showcases the sounds of a band emblematic of Melbourne’s pub-punk underground, who’ve generated a fierce national following at a dizzying speed thanks in equal parts to their schoolboy charm and commercial contempt.
To celebrate the release, the notorious trouble makers are taking St. Anger on the road, playing a bunch of east-coast dates and a couple of BIGSOUND shows. Full tour dates below.
