Merrin - Single Review: Mr. Dominant
Combining slick bluesy riffs with a solid
rock foundation, Wellington's Merrin have hit out with their latest
single Mr. Dominant. Pulling in themes around sexual dominance
and power, this slugging rock track has just hit the airwaves and
should be pounding through car radios in no time.
The riffs are sludgy and grooving, the
drums are big and thumping and the bass is locking down the fort. On
top, vocalist Charlie has plenty of room to weave her complex vocal
lines around the band with plenty of space. The song struts in a way,
basking in its own confidence. It oozes an air of coolness and never
tries to push its way out the pocket that's been created.
Bringing
the dynamics down into the verse, allow the chorus to soar into life
with sharp stabbing hits to power through the wailing vocals.
Although it feels the song never quite hits the big something extra
in the chorus, the song has plenty of gas in the tank.
Mr. Dominant is strong out of the gate and is a solid track as the band's first single. Definitely something for fans of straight up rock roll such as Black Stone Cherry, Halestorm, or Shinedown to check out.

Gareth Thomas - Album Review: Fizzy Milk
07 Jun 2016 // by GrayVickers
The New Zealand sound is not something expressed in words. It’s an ineffable coat of paint that glosses over much of the music that has shaped our lives.

Urban - Album Review: Everything Except Time
19 Mar 2016 // by GrayVickers
Taking the DIY approach is something deeply engrained with the New Zealand musical attitude. From creating bedroom pillow forts to baffle guitar cabinets, to creating makeshift studios, It's a point of pride for many musicians to take creative control and allow themselves the freedom to experiment with their art in new and exciting ways.
