Bunnies on Ponies - Heat Death of the Universe Album Review
Bunnies on Ponies is such a cool name I had to review this album. Then when I found out that it’s Samuel Flynn Scott of The Phoenix Foundation, I HAD to review this.
Heat Death of the Universe has a very upbeat happy feel to it. It’s a great album to take on your summer holidays for sure. Very 60's in a grungy way.
The second track Nothing reminds me of a good Kaiser Chiefs song if that helps to paint a picture for you.
The whole sound is very raw, no frills and back to basics. Rocky guitars, great riffs and brilliant lyrics.
As a reviewer you get to appreciate music of different genres (I hate that word, but never mind), however Bunnies on Ponies will be staying on my iPhone for a long time.
Megaphones, crashing cymbals and chaos are dished out in bucket loads, especially on track 3 Straight Up Jerk.
Destination Newtown Park Flats is a great Wellington song with some very kiwi drug references thrown in. “The vomit in the lift” paints a dark picture as they are “looking for a tinny house”. It’s a long song with weird guitars, which may have been written under some sort of influence, who knows?
The cover to the album is great, has a very 60’s American diner feel, maybe that's just me?
I could go on and on, however with 10 great songs, not one of them weak, overdriven distorted guitars, please just purchase and support good kiwi artists.

In the sweaty snake pit that is Valhalla I was ordering a Fireball when two feet appeared next to me at the bar. Looking up I discover it’s the one and only Jared from Dead Favours.

27 Feb 2021 // by tonymcdonald
New Zealand’s very own Blink 182, Elemeno P, with support from Fruit Juice Parade and Valentina hit San Fran, on a fantastic warm Wellington evening. It was packed out; beers were flowing, and the sticky smell of the low-ceilinged venue was absolutely buzzing.

11 Oct 2020 // by tonymcdonald
Even during a period of uncertainty in New Zealand with Covid-19, Devilskin and support act Shepherds Reign managed to fill San Francisco Bath House in Wellington. In fact, I have not seen a queue outside on the street for quite some time.

Album Review: MudBelly
20 May 2020 // by tonymcdonald
I'm glad we are on lockdown, as its time to really put my speakers to the test and turn them up loud (but not too loud, my health & safety hat is on).MudBelly (what a great name) are fairly new, but this debut album will ensure that they are going to be well-known from now on!
