Lorenzo Vichi: Anima (2022)
This 13-minute-long 3-track instrumental album is by Lorenzo Vichi, an Italian who now lives in Aotearoa. Everything we hear on the EP was written, arranged, recorded, mixed, produced and edited by Lorenzo who decided to record and produce this EP by himself to...
Villainy: The Launch (2022) single
I was chatting with singer/guitarist Neill Fraser at a gig recently, and we agreed that the acoustic style gig they did with Dead Favours earlier in the year was fun, but we were both looking forward to having Villainy back on a rock stage. The quartet (which is...
Broke: Through Her Eyes (2022) single
When Lisa sent me this, she said to me that Broke reminded her of The Rabble. Now, although I am playing rapid catchup on NZ bands, that is a band I know as they were connected with Orewa College and one of my daughters even wrote and recorded a song with Chas. I saw...
Raven: Leave ‘Em Bleeding (2022)
There are few labels as important to metal as Neat Records, whose third release was Tygers of Pan Tang’s hugely influential “Don’t Touch Me There”. I saw them support Saxon on the Wheels of Steel tour, and like many teenagers I was soon sending cheques and postal...
Sun King Rising: Signs & Wonders (2022)
When I reviewed John Blangero’s debut album as Sun King Rising, I said it would undoubtedly raise his profile within the music scene, which is exactly what happened. Now here he is back with the follow-up, and yet again we are taken on a journey with a pianist and...
Glasshouse Keepers: Scratching the Surface (2022)
I was at a gig last week, and was really intrigued by the opening act, Glasshouse Keepers, very much enjoying their complex rock sound with female lead vocals, so when I realised they had released a four-track EP earlier this year I knew I had to check it out. The...
Amanaki: Leech (2022) single
I had to smile when I saw this single, as while melodic hardcore outfit Amanaki is new to me, on this release they have a guest in the form of Luke Manson, who I have seen in both Antagonist AD and Xile in recent weeks. Punchy, fast, and hard-hitting, Leech has an...
Volts: When You Go (2022) single
Last month a gig I was planning to attend fell through, so I looked around and ended up going to Wine Cellar, where the headline band that night was a group from Christchurch I had not previously come across, Volts. Their combination of melodic classic rock with...

- Kraanerg – Aria For Labellum Tongues
by Graham Thomas on October 7, 2026 at 4:00 pmKraanerg is the title of a ballet written by Iannis Xenakis in 1969. It is derived from the Greek and translates as ‘accomplished action’. It seems like an apt name for Nat Bergrin’s outfit, as they are certainly accomplished, and…

by Dann Chinn (Guest) on October 4, 2026 at 4:00 pmThe Garage, Islington, London Friday, 11th September 2026 PANIXPHERE Panixphere have been around for almost as long as Bic Hayes has. It’s just that they’ve been almost terminally intermittent. Over the years, they’ve taken a back seat or a mothballed…

- John Holden – Thresholdsby Jane Lee on October 2, 2026 at 4:00 pm
Throughout our lifespan we are constantly transforming. Some of these changes are voluntary while others are forced upon us by circumstance, but after they have occurred we are not quite the same person as before. And as we approach the…
