Kickstart Records is ridiculously proud to announce the release of their
very first compilation album … Kickstart Detonator. Boasting 15 tracks of
punk, rock and hardcore, Detonator exposes some great kiwi music sourced
from all over Aotearoa NZ.

Kickstart Records was founded in 2004 with the express purpose of working
alongside emerging kiwi artists. Kickstart co-founder Dave Cullen says,
“Our aim is to give up-and-coming bands a kick-start, a leg up, a hefty
shove in the right direction. We figure a compilation like Detonator is a
good way to achieve this, and we couldn’t have done it without the generous
support of our sponsors.”

Detonator uses a ‘role modelling’ approach by placing established kiwi
artists alongside newer acts. For example, the compilation includes tracks
from seasoned bands like eight, WASH and Mozelee, who have achieved a level of success in the NZ music industry.

Some of the newer, emerging Detonator artists include World Battle of the
Bands 2005 NZ Finalist, gorgeous all-girl punksters, Assorted Sweets;
Radiator, whose funk rock single ‘Freedom’ was produced by Captain Hook of 48May; and Do or Die, who came first-equal at the Primal 05 Battle of the
Bands and used their recording prize to lend their debut single ‘Frustration
Separation’ to the compilation.

Other bands on Detonator are: Zebulun from West Auckland; South Auckland’s Mumsdollar; Fly By Wire and One Must Fall from Hamilton; Auckland Central duo Season Pass; Wellington bands Moped and Housebound; Ubiquitous from the North Shore; and Christchurch party-band 4ManBob.

Detonator release gigs will be held in Auckland, Wellington, Hamilton and
Christchurch featuring bands that appear on the album. The first release
gig is on Saturday 3 December at the Global Café in Wellington. Zebulun,
Season Pass and local favourites, reggae rockers Moped will be performing.
The show starts at 8:30pm, $5 door.

Check gig guides for details of the remaining Detonator release gigs during
December and January. Kickstart Detonator will be available for sale at the
release gigs and through NZ music retailers from December 2005.
