Black Fox Trio - EP Review: Rhythm Is Your King
Young Christchurch locals, Black Fox Trio, have recently released their
debut EP titled Rhythm Is Your King, and let me tell you: it is well worth a
listen.
Jazzy and bluesy drums with plenty of energy, tight bass work, and a great guitarist that knows when to step back, and when to let loose round out a truly unique approach to rock. Shared vocal duties provide a great sense of contrast on first listen, which only get tighter and more refined as you absorb the content. This release reminds me in parts of fellow Christchurch rockers Skelter, probably in the attention to detail and groove, providing fast high energy beats, driven by an expert drummer. In other parts I am reminded heavily of The Datsuns and The D4, which is never a bad thing either! The guitar work reminds me heavily of old school blues in its laid back approach, perfectly fitting in with the other components of the band.
I find it hard to draw to many comparisons to this work; because it is so well crafted it feels like an entity of its own, a wholly unique approach to a staple in the music world. A refreshing rehash of previous influences, breathing life into a much needed music scene.
Christchurch seems to be pumping out some killer rock bands at the moment, and these guys are no exception to the trend. Make sure you pick up the release and catch them at any show you can, the energy these guys exude onstage is enthralling and inescapable. I thoroughly look forward to seeing what these guys put out next, and I hope you do too!

Stonehurst - Gig Review: Free Yourself Tour @ Darkroom, Christchurch - 20/08/16
26 Sep 2016 // by Jacob Sisson
The night was opened by Christchurch newcomers Smokin' Voodoo with a hiss and roar, a great thundering brewing with their high energy, well honed brand of Rock and Roll. While having only stepped onto the scene recently, these boys took out this years local RDU Roundup, proving they aren't mucking around.

Helgorithms - EP Review: To The Mountains
13 Sep 2016 // by Jacob Sisson
This small collection of songs were some that shaped the way for one of Auckland’s sweetheart bands, Helgorithms, some of the first they wrote when they formed the band over two years ago. With this being their second release, but comprised of songs from before the first, one would assume they wanted to go back and give life to some of the early material before working on new stuff.
