Apollo SteamTrain - Single Review: The Electric Sun/Streets of Gold
A release by New Zealand based Apollo SteamTrain, the 'Double A Side' single The Electric Sun/Streets Of Gold is a neat way to feature the strengths of the band. Well recorded, these two songs are pleasantly composed with much thought put in to the tones and soundscape used. The mix is wonderfully done, especially in The Electric Sun, effectively utilising a range of well placed instruments to enhance the emotional impact of the piece.
The Electric Sun is a delicate and sweetly melancholy ballad-esque composition. With gorgeous harmonies and backing vocals, it’s a truly lovely piece.
It’s always a pleasure to hear songs that have been beautifully presented and handled tenderly right through the process. It’s this care that really can lift a song up, and it’s clear Apollo SteamTrain have been gentle along the way.
These tracks
will likely be super palatable to fans of bands like Soul Asylum, Manic Street
Preachers, Goo Goo Dolls and Coldplay. This isn’t to imply this twin release is dated, it’s not in the
slightest, however these fans have grown up and Apollo SteamTrain would be a
great match for them.
Apollo SteamTrain are definitely worth a listen.

Mishap - EP Review: Toaster
05 Nov 2016 // by Photographer
Enthusiastically honest lyrics and a homely, familiar flavour are the initial hits when yourToaster EP pops. Mishap hauls in the spirits of Green Day (Dookie Days) and I’m going to say a smearing of Smash-era Offspring to bring you their musical offering.

Running out to the car, late as usual, I checked the letterbox on the way through, finding this wee gem in there. I was off on a road trip with no-one, giving me plenty of time to conceive the following words that will explain my experience with Bonfire Baby.

Gig Review: Head Like A Hole @ Galatos, Auckland - 6/08/2015
19 Aug 2015 // by Photographer
The last time I saw Head Like A Hole I was a teenager and I was in no state to form any kind of opinion on what I had just seen, other than knowing that once again I had loved it. Fast forward 20 or so years and I was completely amped to be making my way to Galatos in Auckland to see and photograph Head Like a Hole playing with 8 Foot Sativa.
