Glow Becky - Single Review: Fade Back
For the last couple of years, a previous bandmate and good friend Nate has been telling me about this awesome rock band called Glow Becky that I have to hear. The team at Muzic.net.nz threw me the new Glow Becky single Fade Back and to be honest, it certainly met all the expectations that I had in my mind after Nate’s detailed description of their sound.
A bit of an Incubus styled intro, then straight into a heavy straight feel, gutsy loud guitars, driving bass, perfect head nodding tempo, the singers voice quite reminiscent of some of the big 90's/00's powerhouses such as Velvet Revolver, or Stone Temple Pilots’ Scott Weiland.
This tune has this massive catchy chorus, its more solid than anything I’ve heard in a very long time. It’s incredibly driving and full. The instruments all seem to find their place in the mix perfectly, and it’s not overcrowded. You’ll definitely find yourself tapping a foot, nodding a head, or singing along second or third listen for sure. The guitars then lead down into a very cool breakdown which almost verges on rap/rock sort of similar to POD.
Glow Becky describe the song as a song about social media and its imprisonment of people with the illusion of happiness and truth, and to take a reality check, get back to the real world, and gain perspective as to what is truly important. I really think they’ve captured this perfect with the tone of Fade Back.
This is my favourite release by a kiwi band in the last few years!! An absolute must.

If you’ve been following the Kiwi Rock scene for a while now, you’ll be familiar with the names Silence The City, Quarter 2 and Broken Avenue. One of the main drivers behind these epic bands has been by groove-master Sam French.

Album Review: Pieces Of Molly
09 Nov 2022 // by Epitomised_Drummer
Have you ever heard a tune for the very first time, and within 10 seconds been like "holy crap this is insane, where did this come from???" Very few bands that I listen to ever give me that massive burst in energy like i got when opening the very first track Atomic Fuzz on Pieces Of Molly’s brand new self-titled album.

The Mechanism - Single Review: Living in Colour
08 Apr 2022 // by Epitomised_Drummer
People who follow the NZ music scene will have probably noticed by now that musicians tend to move in circles dabbling in different types of music, and often work on each other's projects or play in multiple bands throughout their careers. One of those awesome names to have hit the scene in recent times with 3 of his own EP’s is Geoff Ong.

Unknown - Single Review: I Am
17 Mar 2022 // by Epitomised_Drummer
Sins of Eve have just released their wickedly evil new single I Am. I’ve not heard of Sins of Eve before personally, but a little bit of a back story tells me that they have been around for quite some time on the rock scene in Christchurch but have recently rejigged their line-up with the inclusion of Lexie Mia Le Cocq on vocals.

Viices - Single Review: Coffee
20 Feb 2022 // by Epitomised_Drummer
Something a little different landed on my desk this morning, a new release from a Wellington rock trio Viices featuring Jake, Geordie, and Will. I’ve not heard Viices before, so I thought I’d read a few of their previous reviews and see if I could form a picture of what they might sound like.
