Hazza Making Noise - Single Review: NoMoreGaps
I sometimes wonder what would have happened if Kurt Cobain survived. Would he have kept making music and what would it sound like? We know his next album would have sounded more like R.E.M., but what would happen if he picked up some more modern influences and instruments?
Short one Rick Sanchez Portal Gun, we can glimpse the alternate universe where this happened through Hazza Making Noise’s new single NoMoreGaps.
In stark contrast to the schizophrenic, simultaneously Snoop Dogg and Grunge inspire Alkaline, or Soviet war anthem Boomers In Disguise, NoMoreGaps is 90’s alt-rock painted with a new-electro sheen. This track is what the world would have sounded like if They’d sent consumer-level DAWs back in time instead of velcro.
While retaining some of the eclectic eccentricity that is the Hazza Making Noise sound, it’s got everything you want and expect from a ‘real’ song, with its verse-chorus structure, and even one of those false endings that segue into a quiet section. Only this one builds into a swirling, atmospheric mescaline-induced trip, which is appropriate to the lyrics. It’s refreshing to see subject and object working together for a change, instead of the music and lyrics being independent entities.
While I haven’t heard the new EP (it isn't out yet), I can tell this track isn’t going to be some polyurethane time filler between solid rock. It is solid. Look for it behind a new Honda Accord advert in ten years, provided Hazza Making Noise make the name they deserve for themselves.
5 stars of 5. Fill your soul hole with vice, and listen to this song.
You can find Hazza Making Noise’s NoMoreGaps everywhere, but I prefer Bandcamp.
About Hazza Making Noise
Originally hailing from Christchurch, outputs under the Hazza Making Noise name flirt around various guises of alternative rock. With an ever evolving catalogue of singles which display complete inability to maintain a consistent musical typology or aesthetic, his recent lyrical themes dabble in somewhat cliche "meaning of life" rhetoric as well as making sense of the consequences that differing technological innovations have on us both sociologically and as individuals. While currently pondering a conceptual EP project for 2019, he is also a sausage roll enthusiast.

Ra Charmian - Album Review: Waiata Wairua
08 Oct 2024 // by Peter-James Dries
Waiata Wairua is an album that wouldn’t feel out of place performed in a late night jazz hall in some alternate history where the successes of the Maori battalion lead to a proliferation of Te Reo worldwide. The sort of interest that saw your dad singing in French in the 60's, when Mireille Mathieu was knocking about.

20 Oct 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
You know that thing where the letter B has a personality, or words have textures and colours? That’s called synaesthesia.

Have you ever been torn between listening to Mozart or Periphery? Does Epica have too much of that darn singing for your tastes?

Yurt Party - Album Review: Yurt Party
07 Sep 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
It sure isn't summer, and this is really not the Balkans, but Yurt Party’s new self-titled album refutes that. Back with another one of them Balkan rocking beats, Yurt Party’s debut is jazzy, erratic, and full of zest and energetic grooves, with flavour notes of ska, dub, and bergamot.

day13n - Album Review: /7/13/7/
06 Aug 2023 // by Peter-James Dries
I’m too old for this world. We’ve devolved to the point where music is only as good as the soundtrack to your 10 second TikTok, and the thirty thousand copies recycling the idea.
