GT42 - GT42 - Album Review: GT42
19 Sep 2016 // A review by Kerry MB
GT42 is a Wellington duo
that deliver a hypnotic blend of edgy melodic rock that is flawless and
brilliant.
GT42 is their self titled debut album and is comprised of fourteen sublime tracks that defines their 80s and 90s crunchy riff laden melodies, with a tinge of pop.
Each track ebbs and flows into something pretty exciting. To hear such stunning production and musicianship in each song, that is also lyrically appealing to any rock fan.
Both Steven Haughey and Vinnie McParland show such maturity and strength in their musical abilities, in part, this is what makes for such a strong album and very captivating.
The delicate vocals, soft synthesizers, lingering riffs, every aspect of this album will appeal to a lot of music fans.
Stand out tracks are No Regrets, Dreamy and Ocean - no doubt you’ll be hitting play more than once.
A brilliant effort for these two and I can’t wait to hear what their future sounds like.
About GT42
Growing up in the early days with influences from the likes of Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne etc.. their music has the edge to get your heart racing, but as with a good wine, a little maturity, a few life lessons and a few years past.. their music has the ability to take you back to the good old days.

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.
