Tryonics - Single Review: Hey
Tryonics is the solo project of Hap Richardson, formerly of My Little Pony, Go Victim and Freezer Child.
And that’s about there is to know about Tryonics, apart from a growing catalogue of tunes.
The latest in the tune in the one man band’s catalogue, and it’s a dead-set banger, simply called Hey.
The song starts as it continues, with an up-tempo groove, and a solid back-beat at more than 100 bpm, angular guitars spasm and punctuate, sometimes on the ones and threes, sometimes in counterpoint. Hap’s voice is in the mix, not prominent enough to make all the words clear.
You know how pigeon-holing music into categories is odious, well, it is genuinely bloody hard to put this song into a box. If I had to call it anything apart from ‘brilliant’, ‘addictive’ or a ‘banger’, I’d use words like a great blend of up-tempo groove with great smatterings of angular post punk.
It is a song that if radio or the interwebs picked it up it could blow up huge.
At 2:23 long it is the type of song which can easily be played many times in a row.

It might seem like George D Henderson has been a part of the New Zealand music landscape for about as long as Keith Richards has been playing guitar. He’s been in the Flying Nun arena with The Puddle based in Dunedin.

Nika - Single Review: Saviour Complex
03 Nov 2022 // by darryl baser
A song with an interesting title will always grab my attention, and the idea of people with a saviour complex has always fascinated me, so when the new song by Nika called Saviour Complex was offered to me to review I almost somersaulted. The song opens with a gently and alluring piano melody before Nika’s voice kicks in and from the first notes some vocal training is obvious.

While she writes many of her tunes on a piano, and can perform them beautifully with piano and her impressive voice, it is the dance-styled pop versions of her tune which have been garnering her acclaim.
