Tāmaki Makaurau trio How Get are stoked to release their newest single and announce an EP and three shows across Te Ika a Māui.

How Get is two parts Long Distance Runner, one part Carb on Carb. Ko te reo te taikura is the lead single from How Get’s newest EP Ka Mutu, their second entirely in Te Reo Māori. Drawing on vocalist James' language learning journey, Ko te reo te taikura celebrates the perspective different languages bring and the joy of language revitalisation, over frantic verses and a crushing chorus.

Ka Mutu is a 3-track EP in the same vein as 2021's Te Waea Moana. Te Waea Moana reached high rotate on Student Radio, with "dynamite lead single and closing anthem" Te Tai Pari and "tightly wound explosion of spiky guitar / drums and uplifting melodies" Te Tai Timu reaching #2 on the SRN and #1 on 95bfm respectively (Undertheradar.co.nz). Ka Mutu's release will be celebrated with three shows in Auckland, Palmerston North and Wellington.

Ko te reo te taikura is out October 13, and Ka Mutu on October 26.
