Gravethorn: Atrocitas (2024)

I admit it, I only grabbed this because I loved the cover but the more I listened to this the more I realised I had stumbled upon something really interesting. Formed in 2021 by Krystof (vocals, guitar, bass, keys) and Bob Hill (drums) they made a reputation for...

Greybeards: Out of the Red (2025)

Laird Jackson: Life (2024)

Jazz singer Laird Jackson released her debut album in 1994, her second in 2002 and this her third in 2024 so she is not one of the most prolific artists around, but has nothing to apologise about and says, “Life happened, I didn’t stop living. I travelled, I wrote, I...

Kings of Mercia: Battle Scars (2024)

Gunhild Carling: Good Evening Cats (2022)

Gunhild literally grew up surrounded by music as her father Hans formed The Carling Family Band in the 1980’s and they are still very active in the jazz scene today. She is a multi-instrumentalist and singer, and obviously still believes in keeping the family involved...

Drusuna: Beyond the Green Realm (2024)

I first came across Portuguese Pagan Folk outfit Drusuna back in 2020 when I reviewed one of their singles, but this is the first time I have come across an album: I said back then that it would be something worth hearing, and I love it when I am right. They were...

Fit for an Autopsy: The Nothing That Is (2024)

Husband Material: Raindrop (2023) single

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

This Silent Divide: Beautiful Creature (2023) single

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....

Mikey Videotape: The Strangest Dream (2023)

Mikey Videotape: The Strangest Dream (2023)

Written by Wolves: Misery (2023) single

Written by Wolves: Misery (2023) single

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...

Aro: Aroā (2023) single

Aro: Aroā (2023) single

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

Emily Rice: Warenoa (2023) single

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)

Five Finger Death Punch: AfterLife (2022)

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...

Tax the Heat: Fed To The Lions (2016)

    by Graham Thomas on March 13, 2025 at 6:00 pm
