Turkey The Bird - Single Review: Everybody Needs A Little Sunshine
I was promised
a happy little number when handed this assignment, and I was not let down, I think happy might be an understatement, elated, ecstatic, maybe even nirvanic, which I believe is a word I just made up. This is a timely release what with summer banging on
the door, a great reminder to us all to put a smile on our faces, and be thankful for the simple things in life, like a little sunshine, especially if you are on the West Coast of the South Island, according to the rumours.
Everybody Needs A Little Sunshine by Turkey The Bird starts off just how you would expect it to, with a very melodic harmony that sets the scene nicely for the listener to fall back into their bottom dwelling of choice to rest that posterior. For me, a good up beat song should set the scene as early as possible to allow the listener to become acquainted to the ride ahead. I love the transition to the chorus, the mix of the bass, subtle drumming and the ever present joyous sound of the banjo, complementing each other to really lift the song to a new level of loveliness.
The only part of this song that I became flat on, was the ending, the song just finishes without any warning, I was almost anticipating a big crescendo, to such an uplifting song, but it never came. This is really a minor blip on a fantastic little number that makes me yearn for a good old fashioned road trip to beaches and wonderful sunsets.
I can sincerely say, you will not regret taking 3 minutes of your time to listen to this, and definitely will not regret parting with some of your cash to assure this bad boy is in your musical collection. Actually, this song is so good, it could have done with another 2 minutes to satisfy my sunshine loving, happy head bobbing Kiwi existence. It goes without saying that this song is a wonderful mood changer, and really does have a special vibe to it for everyone to enjoy, even the Slayer types, who need a time to relax and unwind.
This is a definite 4 out 5 stars for me, and a definite buy for everyone’s music collection.

If you like your music hard, fast and in your face, this is the album for you. I had to bath myself three times after the first listen just to calm down my ever-increasing dopamine hit.

Ravenhall - Album Review: Brother
09 Feb 2024 // by Chris Chick
Listening to music should evoke an emotional response, to evoke a response that is both positive and uplifting is very difficult to do. I am sure those at the top of their game can argue that it is a talent that comes easy to them, but all the unseen variables that come into play through just living, making friends, going through the highs and lows of life.

Lost Tribe Aotearoa - EP Review: Lost & Found
14 Jun 2023 // by Chris Chick
I am a true ‘noob’ when it comes to the Lost Tribe Aotearoa, so I can assure you and the band that this will be as unbiased as possible. After hearing the first song, I think it is going to be hard to stay that way all the way through this review.

Late to Chelsea - EP Review: LTC
17 Feb 2023 // by Chris Chick
When it comes to the soundtrack of anyone’s life, I am pretty sure the counter cultural sounds and motives of the punk movement would have influenced you at some time. Every generation needs its punk bands even if it's just the opportunity to not take yourself too seriously and enjoy the madness that is life and music.

Corrella - Single Review: Skankin
09 Dec 2022 // by Chris Chick
Oh yes, the summer vibes are in town and Corrella is starting the skank off without delay. Is there any other type of music that reflects New Zealand during the summertime as the ska/reggae vibes that permeated from the West Indies.
