Music News - Powder Chutes release latest track 'Vendetta'
17 January 2025 - 0 Comments
The new single from Powder Chutes is possibly their most anthemic to date, with a complex theme of generational feud instigated by manipulative forefathers for their own ends. It tackles destiny, institutional indoctrination and the fight for individual free will. A grand panoramic lyrical theme delivered with no compromise of Powder Chutes’ massive signature sound; Vendetta has a massive vocal hook, and a demonic rock groove that builds to a huge riff-laden climax.
Powder Chutes were recently at the centre of a media sensation when Johnny from Highly Suspect recognised them in the crowd in Christchurch, and added them to the next show in Wellington saying “I’ve been hearing about this band for at least a year now from NZ fans. So… We’re gonna have ‘em drive there asses out here and open up the stage tomorrow night. Because dope people do dope shit”. Highly Suspect then took Powder Chutes to Spark Arena in Auckland, saying “Powder Chutes is so fuckin sick, we’re gonna put them on again tomorrow night. New Zealand, y’all got you a cool band”.
What happened next will become part of New Zealand rock folklore as Highly Suspect called Powder Chutes on stage to perform one of their biggest hits, Lydia. What unfolded was a once in a lifetime opportunity for the band, and a ‘you-had-to-be-there’ experience for everyone who witnessed it. The Highly Suspect frontman also took a moment during the song to dub Powder Chutes “the coolest lads in the country” saying “this is the start of very long friendship.”
Vendetta is accompanied by a stunning video from Bunker Street Film Co. using teenage frenemies in smalltown 1986 as the setting for an epic battle against manipulation and weaponised indoctrination.
Previous singles Moths To The Flame, Merchants, Straights and Scalpel were all featured in Classic Rock Magazine as ‘Top tracks of the Week’ amongst strong international competition.
