Aly Cook - Brand New Day album review
Being one of New Zealand’s biggest secrets hasn’t stopped Aly Cook from doing big things. Described as a woman with a petite frame and a big voice her Debut album shows this to be fact rather than fiction. Entitled Brand New Day, showcases why she has been nominated for APRA New Zealand Country Song of the Year and as a nominee for 2010 Female Country Artist of the Year
Boasting fellow musicians such as Sharon O’Neill (Brand New Day), Sina from OMC and many others, Aly has crafted a piece of country gold.
Performing throughout the USA, UK, Europe as well as Aotearoa.
Strongest song for me on the album was co written with David Erik ASCAP via the Internet and recorded in Nashville, entitled Country Storm. The video was filmed in Nashville, Hollywood and Christchurch and has been showing on playlists on SkyTV Channel 63 as well as the CMC Country Music Channel in Australia. Listen out for the track on the airwaves near you.
You might also recognise her work from NZ TV Sitcoms like Love Bites and in Shortland Street.
Not being a complete country fan I have caught myself going back to this album on a Sunday afternoon to benefit from the easy listening feel. This is a strong album letting me know how much talent there is within New Zealand.

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.
