Moone: I Am Who I Am (2022) single
by Kev Rowland | Aug 16, 2022 | Reviews
There are some people who come into this world and put the rest of us to shame as to what they achieve, and undoubtedly one of those was Eva McGauley, who at the age of 15 was diagnosed with terminal cancer, to which she succumbed a little more than 3 years later. Eva...

Mim Jensen: Germaphobe (2022) single
by Kev Rowland | Aug 16, 2022 | Reviews
This is the debut single from Ōtautahi artist Mim Jensen, and a load of fun it is too. It commences with jangly guitar and Mim’s vocals, and soon we are taken into commercial indie rock which has definite nods back to the likes of Fur Patrol. Although this is credited...

Corduroy.: Ozone (2022) single
by Kev Rowland | Aug 16, 2022 | Reviews
Ozone is the latest single from Wellington-based band Corduroy, and is taken from their forthcoming EP, Quarter Life. Stylistically it is hitting into many bases, from disco and big soul to soft jazz and even some rap, all designed to get the listener into the groove...

Caitlin: States EP (2022)
by Kev Rowland | Aug 16, 2022 | Reviews
Here we have the debut EP from young Christchurch-based indie-pop musician Caitlin (Caitlin Bradley) who is currently studying at Ara Music Arts in the city. She took the songs to Ryan Chin (Fisherman), and together with Will McGillivray (Goodwill), Thomas Isbister,...

Scapegoat: Reality And The Hanging Tree (2022)
by Kev Rowland | Aug 16, 2022 | Reviews
Rene Black can often be found out and about on the Auckland scene, either playing in the premier NZ Sabbath tribute band {After Forever}, or just supporting other bands and enjoying the vibe. We regularly bump into each other at our favourite dive, Ding Dong Lounge,...

Gridfailure / S.C.R.A.M: Split EP (2021)
by Kev Rowland | Aug 16, 2022 | Reviews
David Brenner keeps releasing material, and I keep writing about it as I love the work he undertakes as Gridfailure, even though I am at a loss to explain exactly why! Here he has joined forces with S.C.R.A.M. (Safety Control Rod Axe Man), which is the solo project of...

Keith Tippett & Matthew Bourne: Aeolian (2021)
by Kev Rowland | Aug 16, 2022 | Reviews
Keith Tippett started working with Matthew Bourne in 2016, and between 2017 and 2019 they performed a series of two-piano concerts, which is remarkable given that Keith suffered a heart attack in 2018 and was generally unwell, dying in 2020. The majority of their...

Lost Dog Street Band: The Magnolia Sessions (2021)
by Kev Rowland | Aug 16, 2022 | Reviews
When one reads the press release, one just has to wonder how Dan Emery managed to record this. Guitarist/vocalist Benjamin Tod and fiddle player Ashley Mae had been working on their farm all day, then drove the few hours it took to get to the studio, to find that...

Black Velvet Butterfly: Black Velvet Butterfly (2022)
by Kev Rowland | Aug 7, 2022 | Reviews
Black Velvet Butterfly are a one-man band from Auckland featuring James Castady-Kristament. I was intrigued to be sent this as when I looked on their Bandcamp page it said, “It may just well be the coolest thing you’ve heard in the Goth scene since Type O Negative.”...

Bill Angus and the Mighty Ways: All Night Before the World Began (2022)
by Kev Rowland | Aug 7, 2022 | Reviews
Bill had a musical career in England before deciding to do something different, returning to his roots when he started working in New Zealand, and this is his third album. Having not heard the others I cannot say whether they are full band releases or solo, but on...

Massacre: Mythos (2022)

Massacre have been through multiple line-up changes over the last nearly 40 years since their inception, but they are widely regarded as one of the most important bands on the death metal scene, creating a style which has impacted and influenced many others. Indeed,...

WHAT”S GOIN’ ON
- Cola de Zorro – El Desierto Avanzaby Nick Hudson on August 17, 2022 at 6:00 pm
Before I begin this review, I probably need to apologise to Cola de Zorro, as I suspect I have inferred meaning from this instrumental album that was not intended. The album translates as ‘The Desert Advances’, and I can only assume that refers to an environmental crisis in Chile that is literally seeing the desert [&hellip
- Fearful Symmetry – The Difficult Secondby Bob Mulvey on August 15, 2022 at 6:00 pm
Crossing a varied spectrum of influences and genres, and featuring nine well conceived tracks, Fearful Symmetry’s debut, Louder Than Words released in 2019, was a late but welcome discovery last year. In the review I commented about looking out for the follow-up, The Difficult Second, which was originally slated for the summer 2021, but duly [&hellip
- Cosmograf – Heroic Materialsby Leo Trimming on August 14, 2022 at 6:00 pm
Robin Armstrong’s imminent new Cosmograf album, Heroic Materials, focuses on environmental concerns, which seems particularly timely in a summer in which the UK has seen unprecedented temperatures and drought has been declared. Describing this album in that way may seem rather dry (pun intended) but would not do it justice. In truth, Heroic Materials is [&hellip
- Motorpsycho – Ancient Astronautsby Mel Allen on August 11, 2022 at 6:00 pm
Motorpsycho are back with their fourth album in as many years, 2019’s The Crucible having been followed by the “Covid years” albums The All is One (2020) and Kingdom of Oblivion (2021), and here we are presented with Ancient Astronauts. It appears that the band’s creative juices continue to flow as they are still maintaining [&hellip
- Ryo Okumoto – The Myth of the Mostrophusby Graham Thomas on August 9, 2022 at 6:00 pm
Ryo Okumoto, keyboard wizard in Spock’s Beard, appears to have got bored with the hiatus that his main band seem to be on, and so has decided to form his own version of the band and record an album. Well, more precisely, half an album, the opening and closing tracks, which make up about half-an-hour [&hellip
- mobiUS – Make the Promiseby Leo Trimming on August 7, 2022 at 6:00 pm
mobiUS are a new band which came together in the summer of 2021, formed by a group of session players led by the ‘creative architect’ Tim Newcombe. Their debut album, Make the Promise, is released by White Knight Records, which is usually a sign of musical excellence. The band suggest their influences include Pink Floyd, [&hellip
- A-Z – “A-Z”by Rob on August 6, 2022 at 9:08 pm
A-Z is the new project/band formed by former Fates Warning drummer Mark Zonder. He enlisted the services of his former bandmate the legendary Ray Alder on vocals. And that’s where the band name comes from A-Z, Alder-Zonder. The goal, according … Continue reading →
- Ebony Buckle – Disco Lasersby David Edwards on August 6, 2022 at 5:10 pm
Don’t be put off by the title of Disco Lasers, folks! Ebony Buckle has produced one of the most beautiful, evocative and thoughtful debut albums I have come across by a female vocalist in any genre. Ebony has a truly wonderful voice and with the help of her talented husband and fellow musician Nick Burns [&hellip
- David Paich – “Forgotten Toys”by Rob on August 4, 2022 at 6:52 pm
It’s pretty hard not to have heard at least one song written by the legendary David Paich. He is best known as the main writer and keyboardist of Toto. Beyond that, he has worked with so many artists, it’s staggering. … Continue reading →
- Lobate Scarp – You Have It Allby David Edwards on August 4, 2022 at 6:00 pm
The old proverb that ‘Good things come to those who wait’ couldn’t be more appropriate for You Have It All, the superb second album from Adam Sears and his Lobate Scarp symphonic prog project. 10 years since the band’s debut, Time and Space, the lengthy gestation period has yielded pure symphonic prog rock gold, with [&hellip
