Pale Lady - Single Review: Never Satisfied
2017 Battle Of The Bands national champions Pale Lady have hit another home run with their latest single; Never Satisfied. Contrary to the song title, you can tell these four young guys who hail from Wellington are having shit loads of fun playing this fantastic song.
Marking a significant change away from the bands previous releases, including pop-punk interpretations of well-known classics, Never Satisfied sits gloriously in no man’s land between other commercial and alternative styles. It’s a multifaceted arrangement with excellent tempo and dynamic changes, which provides ample energy to get the crowd up and dancing.
Pale Lady is predominantly a party band and you cannot help but jive to their contagious grooves on display throughout this absolute champ of a track.
Laid back guitar playing during the verses contrasts nicely with upbeat and powerful riffing in choruses, build-ups and other refrains. There’s even a 60's Batman inspired melody thrown in for good measure. Throughout their clinical execution of numerous styles Pale Lady keeps it all together to provide what is a comprehensive and match winning release.
Although keyboards and guitar solos can at times get a bit glam rock chaotic, there’s really not much to be faulted. Make sure you check it out today.
About Pale Lady
Pale Lady’s sound is characterised by the layered elements and high energy. At a show you can expect to hear catchy vocal melodies, heavy riffs and guitar solos a plenty. Since winning the 2017 National Battle Of The Bands, the band has been working towards upcoming releases. They will bring out new music over the course of 2018, leading up to their Europe tour in August.

Album Review: The Death Spell
12 Dec 2023 // by River Tucker
There’s a real whisky drinking, bare knuckle fighting edge to the self-titled debut album by The Death Spell, kicking off with Nail You Higher Than Before. Obviously, song lyrics are in your face on this track, especially for any Christians in the audience, but you couldn’t ask for a better intro to the musical style of this Auckland-based band.

End of an Empire - Album Review: Best Laid Plans
25 Sep 2023 // by River Tucker
It’s been a couple of years since End of an Empire released their favourably reviewed debut album, Within, Without in 2020. Since then, the Wellington-based four-piece have obviously put their time to good use by writing Best Laid Plans, which is arguably one of the finest Hardcore releases to come out of New Zealand this year.

Mammuthus - Album Review: Imperator
18 Jun 2023 // by River Tucker
If you like your stoner metal super-sized and embellished with a nice touch of doom, then Mammuthus’ latest release, Imperator, is definitely the album for you. Seven tracks of deliciously down-tuned, guitar-driven heaviness smash into your eardrums like a well-oiled and relentless steam train.
