Husband Material: Raindrop (2023) single
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
Auckland jazz trio Husband Material have their debut album coming out later this year and prior to that they have released this single to give us a taste of what is to come. Although the three of them all play multiple instruments, this sounds very much like a live...

This Silent Divide: Beautiful Creature (2023) single
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
Here we have the latest single from Wellington-based melodic hard rock quartet This Silent Divide. I really enjoyed their Tall Stories EP, and they played a great gig at Dead Witch towards the end of last year, and this would have been recorded at about the same time....

Drop Off Point: Bridge City Crew (2023)
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
Back in 1991, bassist Jorge "Hoya Roc" Guerra took over from the legend that is Roger Minet in the Agnostic Front side-project Madball, since when he has been a constant alongside Freddy Cricien. He now has a new claim to fame, providing a shoutout to his favourite...

Mikey Videotape: The Strangest Dream (2023)
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
Some years back I was asked by AAA Records if I would write the press release for the debut album by a young Auckland-based prog band to which of course I agreed and in due course I was speaking to singer Michael Brown of Outside In about their incredible release,...

Cautionary Tales: No Funeral Blues (2023) single
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
Cautionary Tales are a multi-international band in that they are mostly based in Berlin, as well as Aotearoa and NYC and feature Will Marshall (vocals, keyboards), Karl Weber (guitar, backing vocals), Martyn Matthews (synthesizers, Rhodes, Hammond), Taylor Mallo...

Written by Wolves: Misery (2023) single
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
WBW may not have released any new material in 2022 but they are certainly making up for it in 2023 as while “Give ‘em Hell” is still moving up the SMR US Mainstream/Active Rock Charts (now not far from the Top Ten at #13), here they are with their second single of the...

Matt Joe Gow & Kerryn Fields: Your Heart Of Gold (2023) single
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
Here we have a brand-new partnership from two artists who have already made names for themselves performing solo, and although they are both proud Kiwis, they have each won The Music Victoria Awards. Even though Matt only released his latest album a few months ago,...

Aro: Aroā (2023) single
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
It is not often that I plagiarise my own reviews, especially when it was only a few weeks ago that the original review appeared, but here I am going to make an exception. There I wrote about the latest single by Aro, “Know How”, and here we have the same song but with...

Emily Rice: Warenoa (2023) single
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
Emily obviously does not have enough on her plate with raising her two-year-old daughter, as with her husband Charles she has released two singles in May, and here she is back with a solo effort as well. I was fortunate enough to hear her perform this live a few...

Five Finger Death Punch: AfterLife (2022)
by Kev Rowland | May 28, 2023 | Reviews
When 5FDP first came out there was lot of noise about them in the scene, and I really enjoyed their first few albums, but I must admit I have somewhat lost touch with what they have been doing over the years so when I had the opportunity to review this their ninth...

Ricky Warwick: When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy Mitchell Sang The Blues) / Hearts On Trees (2016)
by Kev Rowland | May 14, 2023 | Reviews
In 2015 Ricky Warwick was a very busy man in that not only was he fronting Thin Lizzy, but he also somehow found the time to record and tour the second album with Black Star Riders, as well as recording two solo albums, namely ‘When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy...

Spektr: The Art To Disappear (2016)
by Kev Rowland | May 14, 2023 | Reviews
Formed in 2000, this French act (who combine industrial with harsh ambient and Black Metal) have been a duo for most of their career, kl.K. (drums, samples, programming) and Hth (guitars, bass, samples, programming). This was their fourth album, released in 2016, and...

Tax the Heat: Fed To The Lions (2016)
by Kev Rowland | May 14, 2023 | Reviews
Formed in 2013, it did not take long for this Bristol quartet to come to the attention of Chris Goss (Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, The Cult) who produced their debut EP, and they were soon picked up by Nuclear Blast and made a reputation for themselves by...

WHAT”S GOIN’ ON

Utilita Arena, Newcastle Tuesday, 6th June 2023 I remember seeing KISS on one of their previous farewell tours (their first took place in 2000), so like many others was pleased (but not wholly surprised) to see their change of heart…
- Roger Waters – This is Not a Drillby Rob Fisher on June 8, 2023 at 6:00 pm
O2 Arena, London Tuesday, 6th June 2023 Everything is meticulously planned: nothing – absolutely nothing – is left to chance. From the occasional rumbles of distant thunder echoing around the arena as we entered, to the overt countdown at 15,…

Instrumental Dutch band Hackberry have recently become stable mates with Inhalo and The One after signing with the Dutch label Construction Records (birthed in 2022), who have previously released vinyl from Long Distance Calling and The Flower Kings, amongst others.…
- Inner Prospekt – Canvas Threeby John Giordano on June 5, 2023 at 6:00 pm
Inner Prospekt is the solo project of Mad Crayon keyboardist Alessandro Di Benedetti. I first became acquainted with Di Benedetti’s music when Mad Crayon contributed to several Musea Projects, such as The Colossus of Rhodes and Kalevala. Subsequently, Di Benedetti…
- Thirteen of Everything – Time and Other Delusionsby David Edwards on June 4, 2023 at 6:00 pm
The ability of streaming and download sites such as Bandcamp and others to make the musical endeavours of thousands of bands accessible to listeners remains a double-edged sword. The sheer diversity of choice and freedom of distribution away from major…
- Lab X – Ikigaiby Peter Hilton on June 3, 2023 at 6:00 pm
‘Ikigai’, in Japanese, means “the reason to wake up in the morning and to live for”. It is also the title of the studio album debut by Italian instrumental progressive rock band Lab X, the band being made up of…
- Kavus Torabi & Richard Wileman – Heaven’s Sunby Jez Rowden on June 2, 2023 at 6:00 pm
From the shimmering guitars that introduce Particles of Light, you’re immediately on notice that there is something distinctly ‘other’ about this collaboration between the Prince of Gong, Kavus Torabi, and Karda Estra’s uncanny composer and solo artist, Richard Wileman. Heaven’s…

- Peter Gabrielby Leo Trimming on May 31, 2023 at 5:30 pm
Waldbühne, Berlin, Germany Friday 26th May 2023 Well, it has been a while – Peter Gabriel has not significantly toured since the curious Rock, Paper, Scissors tour with Sting in 2016, and that pleasure was confined only to North America.…
- Gary Brunton – Trên Dyddby Jez Rowden on May 30, 2023 at 6:00 pm
Cards on the table time: I’ve known Gary Brunton for a long time, since university in fact, but I haven’t seen him since 1988, shortly before he decamped to Paris to further his career as a jazz musician. He’s still…
