Firewater - PBS FM Firewater is on PBS 106.7FM between 5-7pm Tuesdays. www.pbsfm.org.au/firewater for playlists The show covers dirty rock n roll and southern influenced blues.

Claire Stuchbery plays swamp rock, which is a loose description for bands with beards essentially. Traversing the genres of alt country through to stone rock, Firewater plays anything that sounds a little bit swampy, a little bit dirty and has a chugging beat. There’s a lot of guitars in this two hours. From RL Burnside to Jeff The Brotherhood, The Black Keys to Downhills Home and Sharon Jones to Fu Manchu, Bass Drum of Death to Eileen Jewell. Firewater sounds rough, but is smooth on the ears.
