The Blue Grizzly Band - Broke Ass EP Review
This is the first EP from Palmerston North blues rock group The Blue Grizzly Band. They have been gigging pretty full on for the last year forming in a local music performance class. Although this is an EP it contains 6 songs which is pretty good bang for your buck.
The opening song 'Get Down With The Grizzly' is a call to arms, so to speak, and rocks out in such a way with some nice wailing leads. This is very much an electric rock blues song. Plenty of distortion in the guitar gives it a real rock feel with a blues rhythm. 'Broke Arse Blues' is a much cruiser number showcasing some smoother vocals from their vocalist Aaron Smith and one of their guitar players. This is a band that lays down a nice solid groove not trying to be too flashy to mess up their great guitar work.
'Didn’t Have The Blues' has some cool leads again. Even someone like me who doesn’t feel the same about the blues as them can definitely feel it from this song. 'M.I.L.F' sounds like something Gary Moore would have written for a lady and if u didn’t read inside the cover you would think it was a dodgy song by the title thankfully the real name (Motorbike I'll Love Forever) is also included. Nice laid back blues number again. 'Creepy Rita' brings the tempo up with funky edge with some almost 70’s psychedelic leads thrown in for good measure. 'Your Fantasy' keeps up the tempo bringing to mind Kenny Wayne Shepherd.
This band has put together a great blues rock album with plenty of mixture of pace and with buckets of originality. I really enjoyed their guitar work as it was nice and relaxed with plenty of feeling. I am looking forward to hearing their next release. Get to their next gig if you can because they will get the bar rocking.

It was a very sad day when Ozzy Osbourne had to cancel his New Zealand tour, but it came with a silver lining. We had one Judas Priest show, turning them from being a support slot to full headliners.

ATU's Point of View is an instrumental EP mainly focused on the guitar but written, performed, recorded and mastered in its entirety by ATU. It has an amazing cover, which in itself asks a question.

Straight Up is the latest single and video from Ravenhall - Auckland based duo Chris Brebner and Joe Ravenhall. From my understanding these guys have been in multiple bands together over the years and they have performed as Ravenhall for around 5 years.

I was a very excited man as I headed towards Spark Arena in Auckland, for what is undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest rock bands, Queen and Adam Lambert. Now purists would say it’s not Queen without Freddie, but it's worth going to see the show before making judgements.

Spook The Horses - Album Review: People Used To Live Here
07 Dec 2017 // by terry666
Atmospheric bordering on doom is what encapsulates this somewhat gloomy affair. This has previously been described as post metal, and there is a lot of darkness but this is in by no means a metal release and it wanders down the path of alternative music in my mind.
