Nevernudes - Creepy Crawlies EP Review
16 Feb 2011 // A review by Mmdelai
Nevernudes (ONEWORDPLEASE) are a four piece punk band from Auckland on Mole Music http://www.molemusicltd.com/, listening to their latest EP 'Creepy Crawlies' was my introduction to them, you can download this for $10 at http://www.nevernudes.net/ - they've also released a free EP which you can nab from here: http://nevernudes.net/album/
So to be honest I wasn't that excited by it - I'm just not into the whole droney-atonal-punk thing (though I know some people really are!). I thought the best track was 'Laying Down On The Concrete', it's mainly guitar/bass and vocals with subtle drums coming in at the end. It felt natural for them, especially for the vocals. It's a nice moment in the EP - the low backing vocals or choir samples at the start are a great touch, I rather enjoyed that track - have gone back and listened to it a few times now.
The rest of the EP kind of merged into one, except for maybe 'Beaten Pathetic' and 'Oblivion'. For punk it could have been stronger - the best moments in the EP seemed to be where they shied away from their chosen genre. They obviously have a bit of ping though and probably have great energy live - they seem to be having fun doing what they're doing, so right on I say! Head along to one of their shows when you can, I'm sure you'll have a good time.
Overall, I 'd describe it as a lazy punk sound with a few good breakdowns thrown in there. They're a young band so definitely watch this space, I'm sure we'll hear stronger tracks from them in the near future, the breakdowns in there might be a glimpse of what they're capable of - I'll definitely be keeping an ear out for them.

This Flight Tonight - Friendly Fire Album Review
01 May 2012 // by Mmdelai
This Flight Tonight have coined their own genre as "dynamic rock". As the album progressed I was more and more convinced, started hearing subtle elements of their self proclaimed influences in the vocals and drums (Radiohead, Jeff Buckley).

Jeremy Mason - You Will Never Know Everything EP
25 Oct 2011 // by Mmdelai
Jeremy Mason's four track EP "You Will Never Know Everything" was self released in September, this his second release after "Distorted Vision". His solo music is subtle acoustic singer song writer stuff, a far cry from his period playing bass in kiwi punk band "Kill the Fake Patient".

The Veils - Sun Gangs Album Review
19 Nov 2010 // by Mmdelai
It was a trip to Real Groovy on the first day this album came out for me, I raced back to the car, eager to find inspiration in The Veil's new album "Sun Gangs". I have always been so moved by the sparse, reverb drenched music of The Veils - Finn Andrew's compositions have a mystery about them that leaves me pouring over the tracks repeatedly.
