Blindspott - Album Review: Blindspott
30 Nov -0001 // A review by Shade
If you like Linkin Park you will definitley like Blindspott, there's no doubt about that - but this time the music is from New Zealand.
With a flavour combining nu-metal and hip-hop Blindspott have created a style which has made them hugely successful. Their first album has been placed firmly in the platinum stakes, and it outsold the Red Hot Chili Peppers in its first week of sales.
With 13,000 presales under their belt, and the album debuting at number one, these guys have achieved a lot by anybody's standards.
The album, featuring the singles Nil By Mouth, S.U.I.T., Room To Breathe & Lit Up, is at its finest when played loud. Full of positive messages, it appeals to the younger generation the most, with many more being impressed by the vastly anticipated album.
Better things are unquestionably on the way for this New Zealand nu-metal band. Listen to this album, and watch them perform live - I recommend it.

About Blindspott
This record marks numerous departures for the band that has evolved considerably since they burst onto the local music scene in 2002 with their self-titled debut.
Blindspott’s grassroots fan-base was such that that their first album debuted at number one in the New Zealand charts. It was an album that spawned multiple hits including the singles 'Phlex', 'Nil by Mouth', 'Room to Breathe' and 'S.U.I.T'. It was a shot in the arm for the country’s metal scene, and provided the impetus and confidence that has subsequently lead to the genre now thriving. The impact the band had on the otherwise arid scene spotlighted them for bigger things. They went onto major league success throughout South-east Asia, playing to crowds as big as 70,000 in Indonesia.

Eve Kelly @ Jam Factory, Tauranga - 03/03/2023
08 Mar 2023 // by Shade
The ‘Sold Out’ sign is a good sign and it went up several days before Eve Kelly’s first show at The Jam Factory in Tauranga’s Historic Village. Whakatane-based Eve Kelly is a star on-the-rise and she put on a show that left her audience, old and new, elated and begging for more.

Coridian - Single Review: Seed II
21 Oct 2020 // by Shade
There's an implicit line in Rock music between the head-banging craze that makes you want to raid the mosh pit, and the refined preciseness of a subtle yet powerful tune. Very few bands can master both.

Channeled - Single Review: Deeper
06 Aug 2019 // by Shade
Sometimes life gets to the point where we can have trouble standing on our own two feet. The headache-inducing stresses of life can knock the breath right out from our lungs, while we struggle to retain some sense of normality.
