TeamSquad - EP Review: All Dream
TeamSquad
is a Whaingaroa/Raglan powerhouse (no pun intended) duo
Ruth and Kane Power who have a unique synth rock blend, marching to the beat of
their own drum.
All Dream is their second EP compromising of four stunning tracks that are truly their own.
Being unfamiliar with their sound, my first impressions is there is a lot of beautiful melodies and rhythm that give Teamsquad their unique flavour. During opening track, Sideways and secondary track, Succour, I did feel there were parts that felt a little too slow, not vocally but rhythmically, however it was soon apparent I was just impatient because with tracks, Guardian and Aelians, things really start to open up.
What TeamSquad have captured is something you have to really listen and take in, letting it create the journey for you as it ebbs and flows. I found it was something I really enjoyed, especially with those latter tracks. Aelians was definitely my favourite. It truly captures something otherworldly and that intro and rhythm is really mesmerizing.
Being able to create something that needs a few listens is always a good thing because it gets the listener thinking rather than taking something at sound value.
About TeamSquad
TeamSquad makes positive & warm music with a heavy edge and a nod to the synthesisers of the 80's.
In 2022, Samuel McGlennon joined TeamSquad on bass guitar to solidify a heavier groove and punchier live set.

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.

The quintessential So Cal punk rock scene has always been a prominent and thriving scene, and it appears it’s alive and well even over our shores, and in particular, Mount Maunganui. Six Two’s has been a band since 2020 in the thick of multiple lockdowns and a shared love of punk rock in general and this is their second EP, Anchors.

Dead Shrine - Album Review: The Eightfold Path
08 Aug 2023 // by Kerry MB
What I love the most about reviewing one-man bands and artists is the thrill of knowing you are about to hear something extra special and truly mind blowing. Dead Shrine is no exception, and as the one-man band brainchild of Craig Williamson (formally of Datura, Arc of Ascent, Azazel) you know it’s going to be a good ride.
