Superhuman made its way onto our radar when it was announced that the track had received video funding from NZ On Air way back in March. Now the video is finally here and its one of the most interesting local collaborations we’ve seen in awhile. It was shot in Bangkok […]

Earlier this month, 20 songs that were nominated for the award were announced and this morning the final five were confirmed. The Silver Scroll’s are arguably the most prestigious award in New Zealand and their aim is to award artists on their songwriting excellence. Last year, Lawrence Arabia took the […]
Following on from last year’s feature length horror-comedy Diagnosis: Death, director Jason Stutter brings us his adaptation of Ronald Hugh Morrieson’s gothic literature classic Predicament. Morrieson’s three other novels have all been adapted to film with mixed success, The Scarecrow having been botched in ’82. Stutter’s film though, perfectly captures […]
Treats is the debut album from Sleigh Bells, a Brooklyn duo that has been busy keeping bloggers interested since they first released their single Crown On The Ground late last year. That song, like much of the album here, commanded your attention; it was blisteringly loud and because of it’s […]
Lawrence Arabia, Liam Finn, Connan Mockasin, Seamus Ebbs and Eliza-Jane Barnes recently got together to record an album under the name BARB. The result is a self-titled album (out August 6) that grabs some of the most interesting aspects of each solo artists work. The Corner reached out to drummer […]
The St. James Theatre which opened on July 5, 1928 is picking up more and more devotees who call themselves the St. James Saviours. 3 News ran a story on the saviours last night who are campaigning to get the theatre restored. They’re led by Bob Kerridge — who’s father […]
When Born Free leaked a couple of months before the release of ///Y/, it was time to celebrate. Here we had one of the most interesting and unpredictable artists from the past decade supercharging a sample of Suicide (of all things) to predictable levels of hype. “I don’t want to […]
It started off simply as a post on a recent musician who received name suppression and then soon after received NZ On Air funding, and has since turned into a debate about the logistics of NZ On Air and a very interesting discrepancy that can be found in their ‘Statement […]
For those reasonably familiar with veteran director Jacques Audiard his latest crime drama, A Prophet will not come as too much of a shock. Both tone and style are very much like his last film The Beat My Heart Skipped. Though gritty and bleak it shares with his other films […]
The Morning Benders have received a fair amount of attention in the blogosphere, so it’s a wonder I hadn’t got round to listening to them sooner. Unfortunately, Big Echo simply didn’t live up to the hype. Not lacking any technical ability, nor are they lacking in songwriting capability, the problem […]

A couple of weeks ago, The Corner posted the title track from Auckland artist Roy Irwin’s latest album 3,2,1,2000. Now, for a limited time, you can stream the entire album for free. It’s a fleeting affair (there’s one song that just breaks the three minute mark) but don’t let that […]
Joan Jett’s fiery wild child persona was going to be a hell of a challenge for any young actress, but the casting of Kirsten Stewart, typically meek star of the Twilight saga, seemed like a particularly strange choice to me. Until I saw The Runaways that is. Stewart perfectly evokes […]
You might not have heard of Special Problems just yet, but chances are that you’ve seen one of the many videos that they’ve been kicking out lately. Campbell Hooper and Joel Kefali have worked on music videos for The Mint Chicks, Dimmer, Cut Off Your Hands, Jonathan Boulet, Wolfmother, David […]
