Unknown - EP Review: Suck
Old school rock punk full of vibrance, fun, clever lyrics and toe tapping beats describes Scared of Girls’s EP Suck brilliantly. The EP has a great live sound with plenty of passion, so full credit to James Dalton for the mix and master. I am sure they are great live performers.
Full Metal Jacket starts the EP with a catchy riff and upbeat tempo, and this doesn’t let up throughout the 5 songs. I can’t actually put my finger on who Daniel's vocals reminds me of, very English (no offence intended).
Obviously being David Lynch fans, the video for Mulholland Drive is very good and quirky, not sure if copyright issues (Cat in the Hat) will haunt them if they take to the world stage, but maybe that's what they want? Check it out here, it's great.
Final track, Beach Teens starts out like a song from Pulp Fiction (in fact, I thought it was for 5 seconds), but then quickly gets back into the punk rock vibe. This is my favourite track, for sure.
I really enjoy short songs which leave you wanting more and Suck does this very well, all being around the 3 minute mark. It does make a refreshing change to hear this kind of music and I am glad I got the opportunity to review it.

New Zealand’s very own Blink 182, Elemeno P, with support from Fruit Juice Parade and Valentina hit San Fran, on a fantastic warm Wellington evening. It was packed out; beers were flowing, and the sticky smell of the low-ceilinged venue was absolutely buzzing.

11 Oct 2020 // by tonymcdonald
Even during a period of uncertainty in New Zealand with Covid-19, Devilskin and support act Shepherds Reign managed to fill San Francisco Bath House in Wellington. In fact, I have not seen a queue outside on the street for quite some time.

Album Review: MudBelly
20 May 2020 // by tonymcdonald
I'm glad we are on lockdown, as its time to really put my speakers to the test and turn them up loud (but not too loud, my health & safety hat is on).MudBelly (what a great name) are fairly new, but this debut album will ensure that they are going to be well-known from now on!
