Devils Elbow - Sand On Chrome Album Review
12 Sep 2010 // A review by Bela
With a name like Devils Elbow, I wasn't too sure what to expect from this album. It left me pleasantly surprised.
Each song had a unique little something that made it hold its own amongst the rest of the tracks, not for this band the yawn inducing sticking with the same sound through the entire album! Rather there was good sound, well mixed and a nice blend of country/rock with a definite vibe of early Rolling Stones for good measure. Even more impressive when you take into account the heart of this band is two very talented musicians.
With the opening track of 'Brainstorm' delivering a solid energy hit, my attention was instantly captivated and the toe tapping started. As the album progressed - well you know it's always a good sign when you try to sing along to something - just need a few more spins on the ipod so that I can actually learn the words!
The album title song 'Sand On Chrome' is one that stands out, but I think my favourite of the album had to be 'When You're On Top', the blend of both male and female voices was beautiful.
There's going to be a tour coming up over the summer from what I have read, and I definitely think it's going to be one worth checking out - here's hoping it comes through Palmy North!

So this is not normally the type of music I would be drawn to. After listening to this 4 track EP numerous times over, I think that it's time to broaden my horizons.

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.

Green Like Go - self titled EP review
23 Feb 2010 // 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.

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.
