Green Like Go - Green Like Go - self titled EP review
23 Feb 2010 // A review by Bela
Before you even hear the music, the EP for Green Like Go visually stands out. The recycled cardboard sleeve is distinctive, and the cover art is quirky.
The first track 'Fat Man' I could envision being a much requested fan favourite. It is catchy and distinctive with solid beats.
The second track 'You Came Around' sounds like it belongs on a soundtrack for a New Zealand TV show. Outrageous Fortune and Go Girls both spring to mind. The song is fun, light hearted and melodic. It makes me think of a Kiwi summer.
Thirdly we have 'The Other Way' which has a Brit Pop sound, it reminds me of Supergrass with the melody and the catchy lyrics.
Last song on the EP is called 'To Me Now' which is energetic and a different vibe from the previous 2 songs. The song is more driving and forceful, and when it ended left me with a real sense of wanting more.
Overall, the group is definitely one to be watching. I think if they get a chance to break into the mainstream, that the rest of New Zealand will embrace them just like their home town of Christchurch.

Surf Friends - Confusion Album Review
13 Oct 2010 // by Bela
So with the bright, cartoon album cover of 'Confusion' I wasn't sure what to expect, or even what genre of music this would be. Definitely did not expect not what was delivered.

The Grove St Tapes EP Review
23 May 2010 // by Bela
I had never heard of The Managers before being given this album to review, and now that I've heard it all I can think is "why on earth not??!" These guys by rights should be all over the radio and C4.

Fly My Pretties 'A Story' Encore, Michael Fowler Centre Wellington 5/12/09
15 Dec 2009 // by Bela
If there was ever a show to go to, Fly My Pretties “A Story” is the one for me. It started off a bit slowly, the show was running late so despite being promoted as doors opening at 7.
