Bakers Eddy - EP Review: Plastic Wasteland
Bakers Eddy hail from Windy Wellington, and their debut EP has just landed to my awaiting ears.
Plastic Wasteland shows the capabilities of a young band who have worked solidly to become a tightly oiled machine with infectious riffs, melodies and flair.Plastic Wasteland is only a short three song EP and I’m gutted, because it is simply sublime.
Vocalist and Guitarist, Ciarann Babbington sings with clarity and strength, already sounding like a polished musician beyond his years, vocally and lyrically, with a maturity that I haven’t heard in long time in such a young band.
Any good music should spill passion and enthusiasm and Bakers Eddy show no shortage of either.
The first track, Plastic Wasteland is a phenomenal burst of energy, layers of melody and everything you want and expect to hear. It’s definitely a stand out track for me. Something Outside, the band’s first single from the EP, is equally as punchy and hard hitting and a song that would definitely get the crowd going.
Closing off with Hyper Excessive Consumption, it’s an assault of angst perfection. It’s hard, it’s raw and it's captivating.
Bakers Eddy have managed to create something truly exciting for NZ Rock and I cannot wait to see their progression.

Gig Review: Stretch To Mould @ The Welsh Dragon, Wellington - 30/03/2024
31 Mar 2024 // by Kerry MB
The building once described as Wellington’s ‘fondest inconvenient convenience in the land’ by one commentator, The Welsh Dragon Bar (and Scorpio’s Restaurant) has been known as a few different things throughout it’s nearly 100-year history. From the original public convenience for Wellingtonians and its tramways employees and passengers when it was first built in 1928, to a theatre prop space, tea house and café, and for many years now, a unique but tiny Taj Mahal looking music venue, in the middle of the road on Cambridge Terrace.

Pale Flag - EP Review: Imperium
29 Jan 2024 // by Kerry MB
With a lot of misconceptions about deathcore, it’d be easy to lump Pale Flag into “one of those bands” based on the sub-genre alone. Luckily, I love metal in the most extreme and Pale Flag just so happen to create deathcore of the finest, which makes it even better to enjoy.
