71 Sunset - Mule EP Review
The music of Seventy One Sunset has been described by the Rock FM as “great hooks and solid riffs”. An apt description of what can also be described as a throwback to seventies Hard Rock with a modern twist.
The Mule EP’s four tracks are a good taster for those that haven’t seen Seventy One Sunset’s live performances.
The EP hits hard and heavy from the outset with opener On Female. Mule shows off the band’s dynamic ability to mix the hard with the mellow. Empty is more melodic and introspective with a nineties alternative rock feel. October, like the month, is a bit of a slow burner. It’s the track with the hook that stuck the most.
Hard and fast, an EP just isn’t enough. I can’t wait to see more released from these guys.
The Mule EP is available in stores now or for download, stream and order on the Seventy One Sunset Bandcamp (http://71sunset.bandcamp.com/releases). Also, look out for the video for Mule, which is doing the rounds on C4 and JuiceTV.
About 71 Sunset
Signed to AAA Records late in 2013, the self-produced Mule EP (recorded with Andrew Buckton at studio 203) was released on the label early in 2014. The EP's title track and video received strong radio and TV play, as well as receiving critical recognition both inside and outside New Zealand.
MetalMusicArchives.com said "There is a real honesty about this music, it feels 'real' and grunty in an era when music often feels false and manufactured" while Muzic.net.nz followed that with "The music of 71 Sunset has been described by the Rock FM as "great hooks and solid riffs". An apt description of what can also be described as a throwback to seventies Hard Rock with a modern twist. Hard and fast, an EP just isn't enough. I can't wait to see more released from these guys."

Bilingual albums shouldn’t be special; they should be the norm. Or at least more common.

Ra Charmian - Album Review: Waiata Wairua
08 Oct 2024 // by Peter-James Dries
Waiata Wairua is an album that wouldn’t feel out of place performed in a late night jazz hall in some alternate history where the successes of the Maori battalion lead to a proliferation of Te Reo worldwide. The sort of interest that saw your dad singing in French in the 60's, when Mireille Mathieu was knocking about.

Yurt Party - Album Review: Yurt Party
07 Sep 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
It sure isn't summer, and this is really not the Balkans, but Yurt Party’s new self-titled album refutes that. Back with another one of them Balkan rocking beats, Yurt Party’s debut is jazzy, erratic, and full of zest and energetic grooves, with flavour notes of ska, dub, and bergamot.
