Corrella - Single Review: Skankin
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. Corrella’s new single Skankin is very good timing as we start to embrace the warm long summer evenings but does this single
cut the mustard, does it evoke those summer emotions?
It is too hard for me to hide my true intentions, so let’s jump straight into this bad boy. Do you like dancing? Do you like the smooth groove of a true reggae sound? Then I do not need to tell you that this is a song you definitely need to listen to. It has everything, a very strong start that will pull you in with its deep bass line and a slight funk riff that sits nicely in the cauldrons of wonderfulness.
The percussion that accompanies this song is not overbearing but just perfect for the sound that Corrella are trying to bring to your ears. Much like the strong vocals that are at a constant wind throughout the song that is very easy on the ear and sticks close to the vibe of the song.
This is such a well put together song that is very well produced from the opening note, through the Bob Marley influences, to the final note that comes way to soon in my humble opinion. The song just drops off the cliff and you are scrambling to find the repeat button just in case the sun decides to drop out of the sky. I think you will be hard pressed to find a better reggae infused song this summer and one that keeps you joyful and happy through to the colder months. This song gets a strong 7.5 stars out of 10 for me and i would definitely let my Nan listen to this.

The Furniss Brothers comes to us with the 12-track album Drift Away, which is really apropos to how my mind felt whilst listening to this beauty. I am not going to lie, at one point I was so relaxed, I feared my heart had stopped.

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.

The Hootz - Single Review: Stay Away
06 May 2022 // by Chris Chick
Hailing from the Garden City and just a short 15-minute drive from yours truly, the 4-piece band known as The Hootz are releasing their upcoming single Stay Away. This song has a very melancholy vibe to it, but not in the sense of it being a negative thing, if anything it has a very Summer vibe feel to it.

Trip Change - Single Review: Never Seen A Boy Like Me
24 Jan 2022 // by Chris Chick
It is not hard to know that I am fan of all music, I think the ability to pick up a musical instrument and compose a song is impressive. The intricacies of bringing many parts together and making the final product sound so good is beyond my capabilities.
