Fictional Response - Scarred Single Review

02 Dec 2013 // A review by Chris Chick

Wham bam thank you man, this song is a rasper. What do I mean by that? well with all due respect you should buy the single to see if this review actually makes sense. From the get go you do not even have time to sit down with your freshly boiled brew, the opening chord sends you into a spasm that takes the rest of the song to get under control, maybe it's just me and my response to an exciting opening.

I love the production of this song, its very crisp and no doubt a lot of work has gone into making this song the ultimate article. It’s very reminiscent of the early 2000 music that came in the form of Nu-Metal scene. I was never a huge fan of the likes of Korn, Linkin Park and Slipknot but this song is catchy and a slight notch below the commercial sounds of the above bands. This is no knock to the sound itself as it is very listenable, but there is nothing of note that says “listen to me, I’m going to rock your world off its foundations”.

The song is energetic, it brings the listener to attention and draws you closer to take head and follow the rasping guitar work. I’m a fan of short and sharp songs that do not drag on, and this song definitely fits in that category and the chaps should be commended. If you like a hard music sound, this will be like tea and scones for you. If you're looking for something a little more mellow then this band will be like going to the toilet when there is no toilet paper left, dare I say you will feel empty and not very satisfied with the walk home.

All kiwi music is a buy from me as they should be helped in every way possible.

Turkey The Bird - Album Review: Men, Fish, Boat
31 Oct 2024 // by Chris Chick
Turkey The Bird is the greatest thing to come out of Taranaki since the Jurassic age, if not, at least since the great name of theSlacks who would have thought two magnificent specimens could co-exist in such hostile conditions. But this is about Turkey The Bird and their third album Men, Fish, Boat.

Chasin Wolves - Album Review: Chasin Wolves
04 Apr 2024 // by Chris Chick
If you like your music hard, fast and in your face, this is the album for you. I had to bath myself three times after the first listen just to calm down my ever-increasing dopamine hit.

Ravenhall - Album Review: Brother
09 Feb 2024 // by Chris Chick
Listening to music should evoke an emotional response, to evoke a response that is both positive and uplifting is very difficult to do. I am sure those at the top of their game can argue that it is a talent that comes easy to them, but all the unseen variables that come into play through just living, making friends, going through the highs and lows of life.

The Furniss Brothers comes to us with the 12-track album Drift Away, which is really apropos to how my mind felt whilst listening to this beauty. I am not going to lie, at one point I was so relaxed, I feared my heart had stopped.

Lost Tribe Aotearoa - EP Review: Lost & Found
14 Jun 2023 // by Chris Chick
I am a true ‘noob’ when it comes to the Lost Tribe Aotearoa, so I can assure you and the band that this will be as unbiased as possible. After hearing the first song, I think it is going to be hard to stay that way all the way through this review.

Late to Chelsea - EP Review: LTC
17 Feb 2023 // by Chris Chick
When it comes to the soundtrack of anyone’s life, I am pretty sure the counter cultural sounds and motives of the punk movement would have influenced you at some time. Every generation needs its punk bands even if it's just the opportunity to not take yourself too seriously and enjoy the madness that is life and music.

Corrella - Single Review: Skankin
09 Dec 2022 // by Chris Chick
Oh yes, the summer vibes are in town and Corrella is starting the skank off without delay. Is there any other type of music that reflects New Zealand during the summertime as the ska/reggae vibes that permeated from the West Indies.
