These Four Walls - CD Single – These Four Walls
23 Sep 2008 // A review by Shade
It’s hard to review a CD single as there are only a couple of songs to make your judgement on. With an album you have the luxury to get a real sense of the band and the direction that want to take you on. A CD single is just a little tickler of things to come.
Having said that, this CD has two fantastic tracks on it – Fly Home and Under The Shadows. Both tracks are upbeat, toe tapping, pure rock beats and Steve’s vocals are meaningful and strong. These are the types of songs you want to annoy your neighbours with.
Both tracks compliment each other and they are a great choice for the single. This is a great follow up to their single Walk Away that they released last year.
I can’t wait for them to release a full version album including both of tracks. One I will look forward to.

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.
