Oslo Brown - Through The Storm Single Review
Through the Storm is the upcoming single by folk/pop group Oslo Brown from their debut EP 120.
On the whole I was impressed by this track that they seemingly produced out of nowhere. One day they announced an EP was being created, next thing I knew there it was and it boasts some great tracks, tight production and a fine translation of the energy and soul they put into their live performances.
The track begins with a crisp and well recorded acoustic guitar melody performed by the awesome musician Olivia. Soon after that enters a rolling, full bass tone of Charlie’s U-Bass which forms the fun and quirky rhthym section that is Oslo Brown. As the song progresses the listener is treated to great song structure, a chorus that will stay with you for weeks and lyrics that are both romantic and uplifting. Carl McWilliams’ guitar solo and choice of effects compliment this band perfectly giving them a twist that isn’t found often inside the NZ pop circle.
I had the pleasure of meeting the Oslo trio during my time in the National Battle of the Bands and was immediately attracted to the nice people, sweet gear and sultry, smooth tunes of this talented group. Their full EP 120 is available to purchase now through their social networking sights and will be a joy to listen to.
I personally cant wait to see what the future holds for this talented group and look forward to their future performances.

About Oslo Brown
The lead vocalist and ukulele bass player is Charlie. She is a classically trained pianist, and this expertise has loaned itself to her proficiency on the keyboard and bass. Charlie's musical background has mostly been in orchestras, jazz and concert bands.
The acoustic guitarist, Olivia whose lyrics and melodies so often come from the heart, and her life experiences, is also from a classically trained piano background. She has been a member of rock bands in and around Auckland, and, as well, spent over a year in Canada where she sang and played in an acoustic duo. Her ability on the acoustic guitar is intriguing to listen to. Olivia also 'drives' the Stomp box, and is a back-up vocalist.

For me personally, the name Beastwars was not one that held a lot of influence in my life. Over the years my friends, band mates and colleagues had told tales to me of the epicness that Beastwars put into their shows and the power one of their live performances holds.

10 Oct 2013 // by JesseBlackleaf
Having just finished listening to Lisa Crawley’s brand new album All In My Head only several days before, my expectations for this show were at an all-time high. I was jittery, had butterflies and a sense of pride as I strolled to the venue with my plus one, spoke my name and was granted entry.

The Dark Mind EP by Janine and the Mixtape offers much in the way of contemporary RnB. In an industry such as the RnB scene where it can be quite difficult to produce something fresh, new and exciting, Janine and the Mixtape have succeeded at this very feat.
