Voodoo Bloo - Single Review: Her Name Was Human

13 Aug 2020 // A review by Kerry MB

Voodoo Bloo is the new music project of Rory McDonald. If his name sounds familiar it’ll be because he was the founder (vocals and bass) of now defunct alternative rock/punk Wellington band, Lucifer Gunne.

With his unique vocal tone, Rory is now leading the way for Voodoo Bloo and they’re just released their second single from their newly released album, Jacobus.

Her Name Was Human is definitely more indie sounding than expected at first but it still has some great punk overtones with enough tempo changes to make it feel like you’re listening to at least three songs in one.

It’s jingly guitars and Rory’s baritone vocal tone make it distinct and original and there is some great riffs, although I wish those riffs lasted a bit longer than they did.

Nevertheless, there is real promise with this single and I like the sporadic feel of it. It’s a little hodgepodge here and there but I think that adds to the dynamic and it fits together well.

Rating: ( 4 / 5 )

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.

Stray Dogs - Album Review: Stay Loyal
01 Oct 2023 // by Kerry MB
I feel there’s something extra in the old school pop punk waters lately with Blink 182 hitting our shores early next year, and Sum 41 releasing new music too for the first time in four years. It’s an exciting time if you’re a millennial, and for those of us who were teenagers in the early 2000’s, pop punk (and nu metal) reigned.
