Publique are a very good Australian post punk outfit who won our affections earlier this year with their fantastic debut LP Outlying Self. It’s punk with pop sensibilities, catchy and defiant and now. The band is usually split between Sydney and Melbourne, but in a couple weeks time, they’ll all be in the same place to play Volumes Festival — exciting stuff. To get warmed up, we asked them to whip up a quick mix worthy of a Michelin star. Press play, and keep reading to get to know the boys.
