LA Thompson - Single Review: It's Raining
LA Thompson is a very accomplished musician having performed all
around the country in various capacities, and this is her latest single release It’s
Raining.
I’ve never heard LA play before as it’s a completely different genre to what I would normally listen to, but what a pleasant surprise for me - I feel quite honoured to get the opportunity to listen to this brand-new single before the general public do.
Firstly, I have to say the recording quality is stunning. I am unsure which studio she recorded in, but it’s incredibly well mixed and layered. It definitely sounds to be of an international quality to the untrained ear.
It’s Raining is a beautiful flowing melodic piece of work.
LA Thompson’s voice is very graceful and soothing. I would place her
voice in the ranks of some of the very well-established female singers back in
the 60’s 70’s and 80’s maybe somebody like Linda Ronstadt or Olivia Newton John, well
before autotune became a thing, or in more recent years Bic Runga. Her voice hits every single
note perfectly and accurately without wavering.
I know she has titled the song It’s Raining and the lyrics tie in very well with that, but the song to me feels like a sun-shower on a sunny day. It’s very easy listening and you virtually feel the sun’s rays beaming down on your face while you listen whilst laying on a golden sand surf beach in the absence of any other people.
This song really is a soul soother, the sort of song that makes you reflect on all of the positive's in your life, and for those 3 minutes and 27 seconds, you are free from any negative emotion.
Awesome work from LA Thompson on her brand-new single It’s Raining. I’m 100% sure this song is going to do great things for her. I definitely recommend getting along to see her at one of her shows if you haven't already. Who knows .. I might see you there!

If you’ve been following the Kiwi Rock scene for a while now, you’ll be familiar with the names Silence The City, Quarter 2 and Broken Avenue. One of the main drivers behind these epic bands has been by groove-master Sam French.

Album Review: Pieces Of Molly
09 Nov 2022 // by Epitomised_Drummer
Have you ever heard a tune for the very first time, and within 10 seconds been like "holy crap this is insane, where did this come from???" Very few bands that I listen to ever give me that massive burst in energy like i got when opening the very first track Atomic Fuzz on Pieces Of Molly’s brand new self-titled album.

The Mechanism - Single Review: Living in Colour
08 Apr 2022 // by Epitomised_Drummer
People who follow the NZ music scene will have probably noticed by now that musicians tend to move in circles dabbling in different types of music, and often work on each other's projects or play in multiple bands throughout their careers. One of those awesome names to have hit the scene in recent times with 3 of his own EP’s is Geoff Ong.

Unknown - Single Review: I Am
17 Mar 2022 // by Epitomised_Drummer
Sins of Eve have just released their wickedly evil new single I Am. I’ve not heard of Sins of Eve before personally, but a little bit of a back story tells me that they have been around for quite some time on the rock scene in Christchurch but have recently rejigged their line-up with the inclusion of Lexie Mia Le Cocq on vocals.

Viices - Single Review: Coffee
20 Feb 2022 // by Epitomised_Drummer
Something a little different landed on my desk this morning, a new release from a Wellington rock trio Viices featuring Jake, Geordie, and Will. I’ve not heard Viices before, so I thought I’d read a few of their previous reviews and see if I could form a picture of what they might sound like.
