Wednesday's Girlfriend - EP Review: Cards
Wednesday’s Girlfriend have hit the ground running with their electric debut EP Cards, filling out their
wall of sound with dynamic vocal melodies, incredible guitar licks, and a beat that’s meant to be danced to. Get your friends together, roll the windows down in your car, and put this EP on blast. It captures the post COVID bliss of being able to go out
without a care in the world
The EP opens on Patient a pop-rock ballad that won’t leave you waiting to hear Wednesday’s Girlfriend’s signature style. Pretend follows Patient, and it is fitting to see why. The melodies are infectious, the paired back instrumentation for the guitar solos balance their wall of sound, and the backing vocals are beautifully haunting.
The title track Cards comes at the halfway point of the EP, and unlike the first two songs, starts off more mellow and slow. But not for long! The catchy melody comes in with the punchy bassline, a perfect song to play at the height of a good night, you mustn’t keep these cards too close to your heart.
The final two songs showcase the drums and bass perfectly. Story opens on a punchy bass line, and Forever gives the drummer an opportunity to shine. A perfect song to end on, we are left with the notion that “if it was meant forever, then it’ll be forever.”
Ultimately, this is a fantastic debut for Wednesday’s Girlfriend, and they are the ones to watch in the Auckland band scene. Each different song showcases a different part of the band, and it is the perfect EP to play throughout a carefree summer’s night.

Fraser Ross - Album Review: Thunderhead
21 Mar 2024 // by Catherine Bullock
Thunderhead is the indie-folk new album release from Otautahi singer-songwriter Fraser Ross, and it is wonderfully expansive, and beautifully attentive. The storytelling is intricate, and the sound is cohesive, transporting you to rolling hills and small corner street dairies in places that feel like the middle of nowhere.

The Flaming Bridges - Album Review: Fear and Loathing in Oamaru
07 Mar 2024 // by Catherine Bullock
Authentic, pared back, and captivating, The Flaming Bridges’ new album Fear and Loathing in Oamaru in an incredibly captivating collection of folk songs and stories. This album expertly flips between songs where the focal point of the songs are simply the voice of Matthew P Schobs and layered guitar and complex instrumental landscapes.

Album Review: Crash
28 Nov 2023 // by Catherine Bullock
Akin to their name, Crash has debuted with a bang with their release of their lost self-titled album! An underdog story right out of a movie, this album was finished in 1996, but was dropped from their label just before their release, only to now release their music today.

CRYSTAL - EP Review: Dead Ends
24 Oct 2023 // by Catherine Bullock
Dead Ends is CRYSTAL's four track sophomore EP, and is a wonderful mix of electronic pop, indie, trap, and hints of punk. The vocals are very stylistic, moving through various digital effects including artistic autotune, and a vocoder, which creates a very interesting and distorted edge to the songs.
