Here we have the second single from Kiwi/Aussie duo {Bird Machine}, and if the debut is anything like this then I can see I need to check it out. Jenna and Luke Grbin come from different musical backgrounds, one […]

I first came across Matt when I was asked if I could write a release for his tour, and I was fortunate enough to catch him in Auckland playing solo in the middle of last year. It was a great night, and since then […]

Here we have the latest single from {No Man’s Land}, which is quite different indeed to the last one of theirs I reviewed, West Coast. That was heavily based on the piano, but here the keyboards are much far m […]

The video accompanying this song probably tells you all you need to know about the five guys from West Auckland, as interspersed with playing in the studio is them going to a fancy-dress party, and there is a real […]

Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to come across the incredible album When Turkeys Fly by {Turkey The Bird} which meant I was determined to see them when they came to Auckland and had an amazing evening. […]

It has been some 15 years since {CHOEY G} has been in a studio, and on this album, he provided all the lead vocals and guitars. Working with producer Reagan McKinnon at The Porch Recording led to Reagan playing […]

Some 30 years ago I heard one of the most amazing prog albums I had ever come across, ‘Don’t Bring The Rain’ by Aragon. At the time I bemoaned the fact they were Australian and unlikely to get the success or criti […]

Golden Plates from San Diego, California and {DateMonthYear} from Hamilton, New Zealand have teamed up for a new single song release called Thots and Prayers. DateMonthYear’s Trevor Faville wrote a instrumental t […]

It is hard to believe that Municipal Waste have been around for more than 20 years now, and they keep producing crossover thrash metal as if it is a lot earlier than that. Just seeing the name of the band makes me […]

Formed in 2017 by drummer Ian Moir, melodic death metal act Dark Divinity have been through quite a lot in the last five years, as not only have they supported the likes of At The Gates, The Haunted, The Black […]

It did not take long for me to fall in love with this song, probably the first 30 seconds I guess, as there is something about it which grabs hold the listener, puts them in a safe place, and lets the singer bare […]
