Lost Tribe Aotearoa - EP Review: Lost & Found
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.
Lost Tribe Aotearoa are no strangers to the limelight, and this is definitely not their first dance. Having come to people’s attention in 2018, they have attracted a myriad of fans and have become a must see live extravaganza.
The EP starts off with the song Strange Things which begins with a very Romanesque beating of the drums as if two gladiators are about to engage in warfare. This song is very different to a majority of the EP, a more intense and concentrated use of the reggae beat to portray a very different approach to conveying a message.
Lost Generation has to be one of my favourite songs on this LP. Not only does it have a hip swinging beat coming strong out of the reggae history book, but it also has a very strong message regarding very cultural matters here in Aotearoa. The upbeat moment that gathers momentum near the end of the song is a cheeky surprise, it is akin to ordering a burger and chips and seeing your plate overloaded with chips, a welcomed surprise.
LTA bring a very flavoursome vibe to their music which has its own instinctive gravitational pull, call it the definitive sound of the Aotearoa summer, or just really good luck. Reflections, the fourth song, is such an easy listening song, I found myself becoming semi hypnotic listening to it and forgetting where I was and what I was doing, which made me very happy.
It is no secret that I really liked this EP, the only shame being that there music stopped way too soon for my liking. No doubt this just means Lost Tribe Aotearoa are just teasing me, much like Chaka Demus & Pliers did in the 1990’s. Looking forward to seeing this band in action and anything new in the near future.

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.

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.

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.
