Bulletproof - #Listen Album Review

15 Aug 2013 // A review by tonymcdonald
After only one week of listening to this album, I will DEFINITELY be keeping it on my iPod. A perfect blend of light drum and bass and pop is a hit with me. Bulletproof are not new to the DnB scene, roughly 17 years old, but this is a new direction.

Catchy tunes, but not in your face pop, this album won't grow old with me quickly.

It has dance moments (It’s a Funk Thing), soul songs (Baltimore), and some parts of the album would be good in a rave; In My Soul for example.

There is a mixture of instrumentals and vocal tracks, and Zion's Theme vocals by Tali stand out, beautiful. However when I checked out the album on iTunes this song title was absent, a mystery to me.

There were 11 songs in the album I received to review, 17 songs in iTunes, a bargain for sure, but I was slightly confused!

My favourite number, filled with dance and pop energy is Revolution, a John Butler Trio remix. I walked to work 5 minutes quicker that day, the bounce in my step apparent to all onlookers.

The same can be said for the 80s sounding The Warning, reminded me of Salt-n-Pepa.

Great album, featuring some brilliant artists. Buy it please and check them out on Facebook:

In the sweaty snake pit that is Valhalla I was ordering a Fireball when two feet appeared next to me at the bar. Looking up I discover it’s the one and only Jared from Dead Favours.

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!
