Medusa Glare - Single Review: Something's Got to Give
06 Sep 2022 // A review by Kerry MB
With two EP’s and a single already under their belt since forming in 2017, Waikato three piece, Medusa Glare know a thing or two about catchy hooks, great rhythms and crunchy hard rock riffs.
Something’s Got to Give is their latest single, and they’ve hit the nail on the head again with their signature sound that fans have come to know and love.
Blending grooves and melody from a tight rhythm section and solid vocals from Simon Koretz (guitar, vocals) and Nathan Waters (bass, vocals) respectively. Something’s Got to Give is a short, sharp and fast catchy tune that will get those toes tapping and will linger in the mind long after the first listen.
It also feels like it was written as a crowd pleaser, capturing the kind of energy that gives you that aforementioned toe tapping experience while holding your attention. I have no doubt these guys put on a solid performance live.
Short, sharp and sweet. It’s guaranteed repeat listens.

About Medusa Glare
This ambitious group was formed in Hamilton, New Zealand in 2014 by Simon Koretz-guitar/vocals, and Rick Walker-drums. They released their debut single and video "No Tomorrow" in April 2014.
The intention was always to source a fitting frontman and bassist, and within months the line -up was complete with the addition of the incredible Jason Galu on lead vocals and Nathan Waters on bass and back-up vocals.
Combining contemporary sounds with hard hitting old school rock, they deliver the perfect blend of groove and melody. Catchy hooks, driving rhythms and killer riffs are plentiful in their repertoire of exceptional original music
