The Bleeders @ The Globe 20 April 2006
24 Apr 2006 // A review by Shade
The Bleeders played @ The Globe in Palmerston North on Thursday the 20th of April 2006 as part of their tour for their new album 'As Sweet As Sin'.
The room darkened and the crowd chanted out their name. Anticipation ran high. This was the band that everyone had been waiting for and it was definitely worth the wait.
Lead by the best person for the job, Angelo, The Bleeders pulled the crowds towards the stage like some sort of gravitational force and they kept everyone's eyes magnitised towards the stage throughout their entire set. You could feel their determination and passion in all of their songs and it is this determination and passion that has turned The Bleeders into what they are today. This is one band that is sure to go far, and not just with NZ music. Their do-it-yourself attitude has already seen them achieve so much, including being signed to a major record label.
In the wings of the stage during The Bleeders set stood members from the previous bands who, like the audience, were completley mesmerised by what they saw. The Bleeders are so talented that their music sends shivers down your spine.
When their A Bleeding Heart EP came out, Punkas.com noted The Bleeders as "bristling with potential". After seeing them perform live it is obvious that they have now realised their potential and they are using it to their advantage.
Best Bleeders song of the night: Out Of Time will always be a favourite of mine and it was awesome to finally see it performed live, however Nightmares was the best Bleeders song of the night.

About Bleeders
The self-titled follow up to 'Sweet As Sin' rejects any notion of resting on laurels. Produced by Clint Murphy and the Bleeders at Auckland’s York Street Studios and mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound in New York, 'Bleeders' is a return to the brutal vitality that first brought them to people’s attention.
“This time we want to make your ears bleed” says frontman Angelo Munro, describing the album as a “fresh start”. In a sea of imitators and “watered down sh*t” the Bleeders believe it is time for an onslaught of true, raw aggresion to shake down the complacent masses and the post-emo cynicism consuming current musical trends.

Eqwanox @ The Royal, PN - 12 June 2010
28 Jun 2010 // by Shade
I had the absolute pleasure of being invited along to see Eqwanox perform live at The Royal in Palmerston North on 12 June 2010, and I was more than impressed with the Waikato boys tight and epic performance. Not only were their songs inspirational, with lyrics that many of us could relate to, but what I saw that night was so compelling and memorable, I find myself wanting to tell the world about them.

Mercury Crowe - Set Your Mind To Fly Album Review
08 Jun 2009 // by Shade
Mercury Crowe are a straight-ahead rock band. They are straight ahead, though, not in that their songs lack inventiveness or freshness, but in the sense that they clearly just want to write good tunes.

"True story: I received this five-song EP before Christmas, played it a bit then put on the "get to" pile -which meant it was ignored in the Christmas shuffle. The other day I pulled it out to enjoy again and post this week when an e-mail arrived from this Auckland singer-songwriter asking (politely) if I might be interested in writing about it.

The Black Seeds - 'Into The Dojo'
12 Nov 2006 // by Shade
With their third studio album released recently, The Black Seeds have definitely made an impact in the New Zealand music scene. Established in the sound of roots and dub - more so the latter - Into The Dojo consists of The Black Seeds’ essence however it is refined to a smoother, crisper sound.

Gianmarco Liguori Review

Some weeks ago I mentioned having seen the group Dukes of Leisure play at the Auckland Observatory Skydome. On the same bill was Salon Kingsadore, also enjoying an appropriately spacey venue for music that took off on instrumental astral flights.

Hard, raw and dark. The impressive sound that is Agent will leave you feeling satisfied, but you will still want to hear more.
