Jason McIver Collective - Single Review: Stoney Joe

14 Dec 2015 // A review by Peter-James Dries

Jason McIver is one of those prolific, yet relatively unknown homegrown artists that deserve a lot more attention.  Rocking the whole Chino Moreno (Deftones) look, it’s one of those cases of animal resembling owner, or in this case, voice resembling famous lookalike.

Let’s just say if Moreno’s side project was pop/rock than dreamy post-rock, then McIver’s new single with The Jason McIver Collective, Stoney Joe would pass for a Team Sleep single. 

Throw a bit of Oasis on cocaine and that’s probably the best description of this Pop/Rock summer time anthem, riding in high on the crest of that returning tide of 90’s revivalist sound that the world has been longing for. This is the kind of music we’ve been missing, and here’s hoping Stoney Joe is an accurate representation of what to expect from Jason McIver’s in the future.

Stoney Joe will be released December 15th on iTunes and Amplifier. For more from Jason McIver, check out his Soundcloud page.

Also watch out for the upcoming Stoney Joe music video from Aiden Otene Dickens’ (Illuminus) Illuminate Productions.

 

About Jason McIver Collective

The Jason McIver Collective have released two highly praised and charting albums since 2015 and in 2019 that catalogue will continue to expand.

After moving bases from Auckland to Taupo Jason refreshed the line-up, featuring original bassist Si Folkard moving to lead guitar/vocals, bassist John Curtis and drummer Andrew Marshall.

The music explores the many emotions and movements occurring in life and celebrates a diverse scope of song writing.

You know that thing where the letter B has a personality, or words have textures and colours? That’s called synaesthesia.

Yurt Party - Album Review: Yurt Party
07 Sep 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
It sure isn't summer, and this is really not the Balkans, but Yurt Party’s new self-titled album refutes that. Back with another one of them Balkan rocking beats, Yurt Party’s debut is jazzy, erratic, and full of zest and energetic grooves, with flavour notes of ska, dub, and bergamot.

day13n - Album Review: /7/13/7/
06 Aug 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
I’m too old for this world. We’ve devolved to the point where music is only as good as the soundtrack to your 10 second TikTok, and the thirty thousand copies recycling the idea.

The New Existentialists - Single Review: Invocation
16 Jul 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
The New Existentialists, a doom metal band known for their dark and atmospheric soundscapes, have just… Wait a minute… No. The New Existentialists are really not a doom metal band, and they’re really not known for their dark soundscapes… They’re more known as stalwarts of a bygone era.

Samuel Philip Cooper - Album Review: Journey to Sobriety
01 Jun 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
Samuel Philip Cooper sits on the brink of social media stardom, with videos of his belting out pop music piano covers from behind a pair of thick spectacles racking up views and likes on Insta. Little do any of the mindless doom scrollers swiping through his reels know, but percolating behind his eye brows is the very key to their very salvation.
