Odds & Ends - Single Review: City of Sails

28 Sep 2019 // A review by Lexa.Dixon

Odds & Ends have just released their latest breath-taking track, City of Sails, and just like their last track, Tasty, this is another one of those feel good tracks that make you want to groove. These young lads have some remarkable music skills!

Not only are the vocals incredible (Koen can easily hold a note for a good length of time) but when it is accompanied by the impressive sounds of the guitar, bass and drums, this is truly a track I could listen to over and over again, just as I have done while writing this review.

My only issue is, because it’s such a remarkable song, it feels too short. I could easily listen to Odds & Ends every day, and with this track I can imagine their forthcoming EP would also put me in a feelgood space. City of Sails is definitely something I could listen to when I am in a bad spot; I can imagine it easily picking my spirits back up.

If they keep playing the way they are, the future for Odds & Ends is bright and I believe they will go a long way.

Rating: ( 4 / 5 )
 

About Odds & Ends

With four principal songwriters and influences drawn from alt-rock, indie-pop, jazz, and funk, Odds & Ends are truly unique. The four musicians’ fusion of genres makes for a cohesiveness moving through the many sides this four-piece possesses. With countless local shows under their belt, these four musicians are ready to take on whatever challenge is tossed at their feet.

"If there is one thing I have noticed in the past time with the guys it’s that Odds and Ends put on shows that are anything but cliche. With numerous influences, we tie genres together from indie all the way to funk." ~ Max Earnshaw

Based in the depths of Auckland, New Zealand, Odds & Ends pride themselves in the fusion of multiple melodies and harmonies at the high-energy level of their live performance. All this is achieved while the four friends stay completely human, down to earth, and are the friendliest band you will meet in today’s scene.

Wellington four-piece band Seismic State have just released their first EP State of Things, and if this is what they sound like, they have a big and bright future ahead of them. State of Things is an outstanding four-track EP, with each and every song giving a little bit more oomph than the previous track.

Gig Review: Villainy @ San Fran, Wellington - 20/07/2019
22 Jul 2019 // by Lexa.Dixon
The night was Saturday, 20th July and a crowd was lined up ready to enter San Fran for a night of their lives, because none other than New Zealand rock legends, Villainy, were about to set the roof on fire! Opening with Raised In The Dark, the crowd was full of energy and it was quickly proven that having Raised In The Dark as the first song of the night was a very wise choice!
