Decortica - Decortica – A New Aesthetic
26 Jan 2009 // A review by JohnS
The first time I listened to Decortica’s album, it was very different from what I have ever heard before, it reminded me of an alternative album from the early 90's, when artists were trying to recreate the 1970's classic rock sound. This album unfortunately failed to impress me. I did not manage to find a favorite song on the album however, Synapse did appeal slightly but will not make the MP3 playlist. A friend of mine really enjoyed the band with a comment .
One thing I did love was how the music flowed matching the lead singers energy which has a very radio friendly sound that I hope to hear in the future.
If you like the latest rock music coming out of the states then give Decortica a try, you might just like it.
Buy the T-shirt. Buy the Album.

This album has a strong “emo” rock feel with some power ballads thrown in for good measureOne thing I did love was how the music flowed matching the lead singers energy which has a very radio friendly sound that I hope to hear in the future.

Hurricane Kids - Live It Up EP Review
11 May 2013 // by JohnS
School holidays for my family almost always involve a decent amount of time traveling via the car and I always use this time to introduce my boys to new music to expand their every growing playlists on their MP3 players. The latest EP from the Hurricane Kids looks as if it may be another enjoyable addition.

Nervous Doll Dancing - Eidolon - Album Review
09 Sep 2012 // by JohnS
Nervous Doll Dancing is a new name to me, which came as a surprise. I consider myself to have an above average knowledge of kiwi musicians and I’m always a little taken back when I haven’t heard of someone who is this talented before.

Known Associates: Penny Love
05 Jul 2011 // by JohnS
It’s hard not to pick an album and solo judge the music inside by its cover. It’s the whole basis of trying something new, Do you like the look of them, are they wearing the latest fashions or even the classic do I know that guy?
