Music Haze: Snakes of Iron—Scavengers
Two years since they released their self-titled debut EP, Auckland’s grotty metal and hardcore sons Snakes of Iron return with their new digital EP, Scavengers. Somewhat of a supergroup (but let’s be honest, they’d hate the moniker) the band is comprised of former members of The Have,… More ›
Music Haze: Beastwars/Spook The Horses/Robin. Live!
Anyone who was lucky enough to see Beastwars, Spook The Horses and Robin on Friday 23 March in Wellington doesn’t need to be reminded of just how fantastic a show they witnessed. But for those of you who couldn’t make it, here’s a review plucked… More ›
Music Haze: Underworld—A Collection
UK techno overlords Underworld have been twisting the dials and tweaking the EQs for 20-odd years now. To celebrate that fact, and to honor Rick Smith and Karl Hyde’s recent appointment as music directors for the opening ceremony of the London Olympics, the band have released two new compilation… More ›
Music Haze: Plug—Back On Time
Back in the heady days of ’90s electronica, British artist and producer Luke Vibert rode the cusp of imaginative creativity and self-aware irreverence. Recording under a number of monikers, he helped invigorate and redefine the world of drum’n’bass. Along with the likes of Aphex Twin,… More ›
Music Haze: Blessthefall—Awakening
Well, here’s an album that’s about as far from my usual listening choices as you could possibly get. You see, Blessthefall are a Christian metalcore band. I should probably add a little bit more in there, especially if you’re a bit religiously sensitive. It goes… More ›
Music Haze: VHS or Beta—Diamonds and Death
If you’re a fan of synth-wave, vintage effects with a dusting of post-punk, or slinky ’80s electro pop then VHS or Beta’s latest, Diamonds and Death, is an album you’ll be wanting to hear. While not as commercially successful as other more high profile indie-dance-floor… More ›
Music Haze: Cobra Skulls—Agitations
Hot damn, Cobra Skulls’ newest LP Agitations is just a blast of souped-up punk rockin’ good times from whoa to go. Stacked to the gunnels with whip-snapping shots of punk rock fury, energetic harmonies and ringing riffs, the band’s third full-length is one hell of… More ›
Music Haze: The Cure—Bestival Live 2011
The Cure have been kicking around since the mid ’70s, and while you could argue a case that their glory days as full-length recording artists have passed, Bestival Live 2011 is a firm reminder that you can’t dismiss the old Goths as a live entity.… More ›
Music Haze: End Of Year Round Up Begins
It’s that time of year when all the ‘best of 2011′ lists begin appearing and the insults start flying. Everyone has their best picks for the year (and feel free to leave yours in the comments box) but it’s amazing how touchy some folks get… More ›
Music Haze: Sticky Filth—Fourth Domain
You know how you get to the end of the week and you wonder what you’re going to do with that 200 bucks you’ve got left in your wallet? No—me neither. I’m broke, you’re broke, and it’s only going to get worse. Life’s a struggle,… More ›
Music Haze: Cobra Khan—Adversities
It can go either way with the sophomore album. You either blow all your good tunes on the first disc and come scrambling back with something uninspired and disorganized, or you take your time and come up with something more considered than your first. Perhaps… More ›
