Seismic State - Single Review: Since We Last Spoke
19 Aug 2019 // A review by Lexa.Dixon
Wellington is no stranger to the world of rock, and with a slick intro that captivates you from the beginning, Seismic State's new single Since We Last Spoke is nothing short of exceptional.
The catchy lyrics and outstanding instrumentals make this one tune that I could listen to over and over again. I constantly found something new in each playback which kept it lively and interesting. I believe Since We Last Spoke could easily become a fan favourite, especially when performed live.
Indicative of the likes of other local Wellington acts Merrin and Curlys Jewels, the vocals in this song are absolutely stunning and Seismic State wouldn't be out of place supporting some of the larger acts that NZ has on offer.
I'm definitely looking forward to hearing more from Seismic State, they have a bright future ahead of them.

About Seismic State
Seismic State’s debut EP, State of Things, was released in September 2019. All four tracks off the EP receive airplay on NZ radio and internationally with Genius, the first single, leading the charge by reaching #47 on The Generator FM’s weekly airplay chart for the week ending 31 May 2020. Genius also held down the #58 spot in The Generator FM's 2020 Kiwi 101 chart.
Their style mixes rock with elements of funk, blues, progressive and alternative; combining riff oriented guitar with melodic bass lines and driving drum rhythms to form a foundation for creative vocal melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. The result is an accessible and sonically pleasing brand of music not often found in the rock scene.

Gig Review: Villainy @ San Fran, Wellington - 20/07/2019
22 Jul 2019 // by Lexa.Dixon
The night was Saturday, 20th July and a crowd was lined up ready to enter San Fran for a night of their lives, because none other than New Zealand rock legends, Villainy, were about to set the roof on fire! Opening with Raised In The Dark, the crowd was full of energy and it was quickly proven that having Raised In The Dark as the first song of the night was a very wise choice!
