Undercut are a
recently formed Auckland Rock outfit and have just released their debut
four-track EP, Take the Wheel - an EP all about taking back control.
Straight off the bat,
it’s clear Undercut are seasoned musicians with their concise but sharp four tracks
that are punchy and riff laden, with pinches of three genres, Rock, Indie and Metal.
Lyrically straight shooting about life's dilemmas.
There is literally
something for everyone’s ears here, making their varied sound more accessible
to all ages and preferences, not only that, Undercut seem a band that really
take joy in creating and playing and it resonates in their musicianship.
Take the Wheel EP is only
a taste of Undercut’s Sound, and if you’re keen to hear more, watch this space
in 2018.
Review written by Kerry Monaghan
Undercut is newly formed from experienced Auckland music scene musicians, Mike Crowhen, John Hancock and Dave Crowhen who have between them performed with 12 bands. Reforming after a twenty year hiatus, this experience shines through in their live performances and on their recently released E.P.
Undercut builds on their 90's collaboration - an industrial band called Seat Bee Sate, with a new sound harking back to their grunge, indie, rock and metal roots. Undercut's style as a band is raw, punchy and lyrical, tackling real-life dilemmas.
