Wolf Alice | Announce Hotly Anticipated Return To NZ This September
‘Wolf Alice are not just another indie band’. NME’s statement about the North London quartet is a simple one, but it captures the powerful waves they’re making both in studio and live.

Arctic Monkeys – Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino (Domino)
Still living by their debut’s mantra, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, Arctic Monkey’s new long-player, Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino, is bereft of stadium guitar riffs, laddy swagger or LA rocker confidence.

Ry Cooder – The Prodigal Son (Fantasy Records)
Has one of the greatest guitarists found God or is he just borrowing a pew and a couple of psalm books? At 71, he may be getting on but going backwards to move forward has always been Ry Cooder‘s creative direction. New album The Prodigal Son might not be his best since the Buena Vista […]
Belphegor and Wiegedood – Whammy Bar May 10, 2018
Long-serving Austrian outfit Belphegor headed an eclectic lineup of extreme bands at the Whammy Bar in Auckland, NZ. Black metal was a common thread throughout the night but each act had engagingly varied takes on the grimness and noise.
