Blindspott - Album Review: Blindspott
30 Nov -0001 // A review by Shade
If you like Linkin Park you will definitley like Blindspott, there's no doubt about that - but this time the music is from New Zealand.
With a flavour combining nu-metal and hip-hop Blindspott have created a style which has made them hugely successful. Their first album has been placed firmly in the platinum stakes, and it outsold the Red Hot Chili Peppers in its first week of sales.
With 13,000 presales under their belt, and the album debuting at number one, these guys have achieved a lot by anybody's standards.
The album, featuring the singles Nil By Mouth, S.U.I.T., Room To Breathe & Lit Up, is at its finest when played loud. Full of positive messages, it appeals to the younger generation the most, with many more being impressed by the vastly anticipated album.
Better things are unquestionably on the way for this New Zealand nu-metal band. Listen to this album, and watch them perform live - I recommend it.

Maggie Cocco's Science for Sociopaths - Gig Review: Maggie Cocco @ Lopdell Theatre, Tititrangi - 22/11/2023
27 Nov 2023 // by Shade
Whatever came out of the pandemic, it stranded some amazing talent here long enough for them to enrich our musical world. Down into the Lopdell labyrinth, a buzz of age-spanning expectancy waited for two of these: Maggie Cocco and her accompanist for the tour Bonnie Schwarz who would add much more than just ‘sad cello’ to tonight’s epic cycle of piano songs.

The ‘Sold Out’ sign is a good sign and it went up several days before Eve Kelly’s first show at The Jam Factory in Tauranga’s Historic Village. Whakatane-based Eve Kelly is a star on-the-rise and she put on a show that left her audience, old and new, elated and begging for more.

Coridian - Single Review: Seed II
21 Oct 2020 // by Shade
There's an implicit line in Rock music between the head-banging craze that makes you want to raid the mosh pit, and the refined preciseness of a subtle yet powerful tune. Very few bands can master both.
