Mishap - EP Reivew: Not Feeling This
01 May 2017 // A review by Kerry MB
Mishap are back with
their second EP, Not Feeling This, and straightaway, I have to say, I really
dig this band.
It’s my first
introduction to these punk power pop trio from Wellington, and they have been
kicking around since early last year (2016). They’ve amassed quite a following in
that short time and their refreshing blend of old skool punk (think Green Day,
Blink 182) with early 2000’s punk pop (Sum 41, New Found Glory) and you have
the modern twist that is Mishap.
Infectious describes these
guys in a nutshell. The four songs that make up Not Feeling This are insanely
fun, vocally playful and incredibly well-crafted and tight. Come Over has to
be one of the catchiest riffs that transports me back to my fifteen-year-old
self in the early 2000’s. What a trip!
I love the energy and the
way Mishap craft such simple and brilliant tunes that are perfect for Pogo
dancing. This EP instantly makes me happy and I place my bets you’ll feel the
same. The downfall to EP’s? It leaves you always wanting more.
I hope an album is somewhere
in the future for these guys.

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.

Broke are a five-piece from Taranaki who love to jam and make great music together. What started out originally as a solo project by Hamish McDonald (lead guitar and vocals) and resulted in a self-written, recorded and produced debut album Momento Mori in 2021, eventually paved the way for the lads to make it official and start creating new music together.
