King Cass - Single/Video Review: Yea Yea
The newest track from King Cass, Yea Yea, immediately grabbed me, and kept me. Starting out with a simple instrumental hook, leading into the smooth vocal line of the chorus, and on into King Cass delivering his message. All of this playing out over the visuals of King Cass and his mates hanging out in the garage, having a few cold ones, and just chilling. Nice.
One thing I absolutely love hearing is New Zealand artists not being afraid of being undeniably Kiwi in their vocals, and King Cass raps in a strong Kiwi accent, whilst almost reverentially draping himself in the New Zealand flag. There's no mistaking where King Cass is from.
The overall feel of the track is mellow and chilled whilst remaining upbeat and positive. Indeed, the message that King Cass is sharing is one of overcoming adversity, facing up to challenges, and being the best version of himself he can be. Also nice.
King Cass has ear-wormed his way into my brain forever with this track, it's as full of hooks as a ten metre roll of Velcro. Everyone I've played it to; I find singing the chorus at some later point. A nicely produced track with a well-matched video. All hail to the King.

The Snake Behaviour - Album Review: Youthanise
27 Nov 2023 // by Peter K Malthus
Christchurch's The Snake Behaviour have been slithering around the local scene long enough to make them well-recognized live veterans. Influenced in equal measures by heavy rock, metal, and punk, TSB have been plugging away tirelessly doing the self-funded thing, and by all accounts having a whale of a time along the way.

Gig Review: Mermaidens @ Space Academy, Christchurch - 26/11/2023
27 Nov 2023 // by Peter K Malthus
Space Academy is one of my favourite places and it was the perfect venue for this sold-out show. I was fortunate to arrive early enough to get one of a few seats, as it was quickly full to 120-head capacity.

Betsy and The Reckless - Album Review: Salty
26 Nov 2023 // by Peter K Malthus
Salty is the debut album of Taranaki-based quartet Betsy and The Reckless. I've seen their style described as both "a fusion of reggae and soul", and "an RnB twist on Kiwi roots", but even that doesn't completely sum up this glorious musical melting pot.

Gig Review: Albi & The Wolves @ The Piano, Christchurch - 24/11/2023
26 Nov 2023 // by Peter K Malthus
This was my first time attending a show at The Piano, a beautifully appointed concert venue in Christchurch's CBD. It was also my first experience of Albi & The Wolves, so I had no real idea of what a treat of a night I was in for.

Saurian - EP Review: Octopedal Rock Unit
30 Oct 2023 // by Peter K Malthus
Dunedin's Saurian have just released Octopedal Rock Unit, a five-song collection of rock & roll that's fun and full of melody, but also ballsy and thunderous. Saurian released the entirely self-produced album Brooding in 2020, having formed in 2015.

Gig Review: DARTZ @ Darkroom, Christchurch - 27/10/2023
28 Oct 2023 // by Peter K Malthus
I'd been really looking forward to this show already, having heard a few tracks by DARTZ. I have a young bass student who keeps me updated with current Kiwi punk bands, and she'd played me a handful of tracks from The Band from Wellington, New Zealand.

CyberManic - Album Review: Cut To The Core
25 Oct 2023 // by Peter K Malthus
Cut To The Core is the debut album from Christchurch's Cybermanic, a two-piece (although currently in the throes of becoming a three-piece, with a new bassist furiously learning the bass lines) Industrial Rock/Metal band. Formed in 2019 by James Williams (vocals/guitar) and Hannes Danielsson (drums), Cybermanic spent most of 2022 preparing for and recording the album and they are about to start travelling the South Island to promote it.
