Corrella - Album Review: Road From 26
Auckland 7-piece band, Corrella are back and this time they’ve bought with them their brand new album, Road From 26.
The 9 track album is quite simply, a stunner.
Already seasoned at their craft, their passion and talent for summery Reggae, RnB, Roots tunes and great vibes are evident. Not ones to shy away from beautiful harmony and melody either, Road From 26 has this aplenty.
If you’re a fan of L.A.B and Six60, then you might have an idea of what to expect, but don’t let the larger than life legends of Kiwi music sway your musical judgment. Corrella are uniquely their own and have their own flavour to share. They execute it beautifully and from start to finish, it’s a great journey to listen to.
Starting off with upcoming single, Whiskey- a super catchy and soulful tune that instantly turns bad moods into good times. Lyrically, I love how literal it is. Sometimes some of the best songs are just simply that. No second guessing here.
Merging further in, tracks like Skankin’ (their previously released single) are just as sweet. There is something about a simplistic groove that just resonates with wanting to move your body.
Lead vocalist, Rebecca Brady’s vocals on Little Circles are just divine. Also one of their earlier released singles, it never ceases to amaze me how much heart and soul is in her voice.
Finishing off such a strong album is never easy when deciding what to put as the last track and they’ve hit the nail on the head without taking anything away from such a solid musicianship.
Promise is such a simply yet great tune that fits well nestled in at the end. Lead singer, Pipiwharauroa Campbell has great range and melody.
A beautiful, well-rounded album with so much hidden gems. Uncover all there is by giving this a few listens in a row and follow it up with seeing them live when you can.
About Corrella
They have a summery vibe to their music, which can be heard across Aotearoa. They take inspiration from bands like L.A.B, Six60 and Tomorrow People, while trying to create their own sound.

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.

Six Two's - EP Review: Anchors

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.

Songs From Home is their second EP off the back of 2021 self-titled EP, and if you’re into tunes with layers, plenty of harmony, melody and fine musicianship, look no further.

Bush Lawyer - Single Review: Daisy
03 Jul 2023 // by Kerry MB
With a name like Bush Lawyer, the curiosity is definitely piqued to check out this band, a four piece who hail from Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Wellington, and their second single, Daisy. With a self-confessed sound of 'surf rock, reggae and ska’ they have hit the nail on the head there.
