The debut EP from Miles McDougall a.k.a. Pikachunes has been a long time coming and ever since the brooding Shout It Out, which sounded like it belonged on the Lost In Translation soundtrack was released in November last year there’s been an inkling of anticipation. Dude has kept himself busy, […]
Some music is like comfort food to me. Its familiarity returns me back to safer and simpler times, the aural equivalent of eating a giant bowl of hot mashed potatoes (and if you can manage to do both at the same time, then you’ve got it made) First time I […]

It’s been a long time between drinks for Hole, nigh on twelve years since the release of Celebrity Skin. Let’s be honest though, this isn’t Hole, it’s Courtney Love with a new lineup of musicians. If Eric Erlandson’s comments on the project hold any truth, the album was initially conceived […]

The Naked and Famous’ video for Young Blood is predictably about being young – jumping in water with your clothes on, destroying stuff, jumping off things, flying kites, riding bikes, getting hurt, laughing, crying, yelling, all that good stuff – it was directed by Special Problems, who seem to be […]

Like What is the first in a series of street single’s set for release in anticipation for the Deceptikonz third album Evolution due out in July. As it stands, Mareko’s verse, which opens the song is really the one to talk about here – apart from a couple of missteps […]

I hear there’s been a bit of hating on the new Band of Horses album, Infinite Arms. To be fair, the predictable third-album-criticism-syndrome has some currency. Maybe it is more of the same, but if AC/DC can make a killing off repackaged riffs, why can’t anybody else? Maybe it is […]

No doubt I was one of the last people in the country to see Boy, which I finally saw the other day (the woman seated two seats away from me that fell asleep half-way through the movie must feel pretty dumb) but like everyone else that has seen the film, […]
Young Sid’s ascent to critical acclaim in New Zealand is fitting. Since Scribe and the Deceptikonz are taking too long between albums and P-Money, one of New Zealand’s best hip-hop producers has moved far and away from his original sound, it was understandable that Kirk Harding’s Move The Crowd label […]
This thing is just incredible. The Bubble comes from Rhombus’ forthcoming sampler CD Rhombus In Dub: Volume 1 (which also features Optimus Gryme) and on it Rhombus provide the perfect type of beat (raw drums surrounded by spacey synth splurts) for Rodney P to just dominate this thing. For example: […]
