Transistor - Single Review: Nothing New
New single Nothing New from Wellington-based Transistor is a tricky, trippy, psychedelic aural beast. A snarly bastard of a song.
It is that person you meet at a party who walks up and is just immediately in your face saying look at me. Spinning around on the dancefloor alone, kicking up a storm and not giving a shit.
It demands to be heard from the off. There is no courtship going on, no easing in as the drums and bass drill into your ears at breakneck speed. The groove is deep solid and swirling as the vocals float in and out.
Those vocals are the space dust in this sonic maelstrom. Swirling around and fizzing, they push and pull as the music races along.
Nothing New is 2.43 of some of the most exciting, experimental mind-melting noise I have heard in a long time and it HAS to be played loud.
If you are lucky enough to go and see this performed live I guarantee when it is over you will stand there gobsmacked, completely floored and smiling.
Transistor are on (to) something.
About Transistor
The upcoming single Nothing New (Thursday, 23rd July) will be the band’s first release of new material since 2018’s Soft Burning Silver EP. Self-inflicted creative frustrations paired with propulsive rhythms and synthesisers, set the framework for Transistor’s Nothing New - pushing the group in a more sonically daring and fiery trajectory.

08 Oct 2020 // by Paul Goddard
Gaslight (or rather Gaslighting) has become a bit of a buzz word recently and sits perfectly as the title for this short sharp shock of fuzzed up punk from Auckland three piece Coffin Club.Unlike a real Gaslight, this song is no slow burner.

26 Jun 2020 // by Paul Goddard
Punk music means different things to different people. Over the years like most genres it has morphed, been watered down, kicked about and spat out.
