Paddy and the Cryptids - EP Review: Demo EP
Paddy and the Cryptids are a three piece up and coming Punk/New Wave medley hailing from the sunny Hawkes Bay.
This is their self- titled debut EP and straight off the bat there is everything to enjoy about this short, sweet and to the point 4 track ensemble.
Rocking classic punk riffs, and simple vocals is about all you need and want and Paddy and the Cryptids do it well. No frills, just good tunes.
Opening track Reputation feels like a nod to their present and future selves with the first lyric, “All they really want is a reputation..” well, if this EP is anything to go by, I hope if they haven’t yet, they will soon.
By the time you reach the last track, Dogman - one of my favourites, again with fantastic, crunchy riffs, It feels like you've known their music for years.
Like any good piece of music, there is always just a mad amount of talent and passion. They clearly love jamming together and it shows, so I can imagine how well their lives shows go.
A really strong debut EP that is just what our Kiwi punk scene needs.
About Paddy and the Cryptids
Just like the Yeti or Sasquatch, science can't explain them, but what we do know is they arent here to sing you lullabies.

Hadees Drudge - Album Review: The Mind Lies When The Soul Dies
01 Aug 2024 // by Kerry MB
Hadees Drudge is quite an anomaly in Wellington’s metal scene. Forgoing a second guitarist, they proudly rock one guitar in a genre where that’s almost unheard of.

PARK RD - Album Review The Novel
23 May 2024 // by Kerry MB
It’s easy to see why Auckland five-piece, PARK RD is making some noise, figuratively and literally with their debut album, The Novel. Heavy on the indie, but far from light with solid guitar riffs and pop and funk sensibilities, PARK RD are a great example of solid musicianship.
