Late to Chelsea - EP Review: LTC

17 Feb 2023 // A review 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.

As you can imagine Late to Chelsea bring a myriad of hard hitting and at points very grungy sounding songs to wonderment of my ears. There is no denying their sound certainly does not disappoint this reviewers receptacles. The opening tracks do not disappoint as they embrace the high tempo and mosh pit madness that will ensue.

HEY HEY HEY! is a good old traditional punk song which will have you shouting out the proverbial line on numerous occasions. Try not to be like this reviewer and do it in the middle of a packed area, for some reason some people just don't like the punk infused cries. Not My Friend, the third song on the EP brings a nice mix of punk and rock together that is very easy on the ear even if the song is fall of inward turmoil about life.

Permanent Stankface Disorder takes a subtle turn in its sound and direct mention of a well-known billionaire who has etched his name in infamy when it comes to Late to Chelsea. I like its hip-hop undertone sound and a very Arctic Monkeys sounding riff that plays through the song. It is very catchy and different to the rest of the EP and definitely not to its detriment, if anything to making the EP stand out more.

All in all this is a great little EP for you punk rockers out there who enjoy high octane counter cultural sounds. I very much look forward to this band bringing out more songs in the future and hope to be in one of their pits come gig day. Well done guys and keep up the good work.

Rating: ( 3 / 5 )

Chasin Wolves - Album Review: Chasin Wolves

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.

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.

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.
