Thursday:
Thin White Lines - One of NZ’s best kept secrets their new single Chemicals from the EP of the same name is proof enough that it’s time Thin White Lines climbed the ranks of NZ’s pop punk to take their place at the top.
Braves - Played Tape Deck Fest 2014, they’ve supported some of pop punk’s finest international acts, including State Champs and Neck Deep. They’ve played across Australia and New Zealand and their self titled EP is everything pop punk should be.
Silence The City - Have shared stages with Blacklistt, have been announced to play Homegrown 2014 and their cover of Ellie Goulding’s Burnhas been watched almost 200,000 times on YouTube. They’re becoming one of the biggest bands in NZ rock and are proof of, if nothing else, that if you keep your head down and keep moving, you’ll climb the ranks. Stand out tracks are: The Chase and After The Tone.
Saturday:
Dead Beat Boys - are Battle Of The Bands Auckland finalists and a straight up and down rock ’n’ roll band that are all about high energy, intense shows, with a dirty and aggressive sound. Their single Robotronic was mastered by Villainy’s Dave Johnston.
Static Era - Two successful tours of the North Island, headline act for Music In Parks 2014, two EPs and five music videos (all released independently) and Static Era are only just getting started. Their new music video Addicted To A Dream has garnered nearly 2,000 views in two months, their cover of Titanium has garnered 25,000 views on YouTube and they have a new EP on the horizon. Static Era are here to rip your face off.
Stitches - Have played shows alongside Ekko Park, Fire At Will and These Four Walls. Their debut EP Harder Times saw them dominate the country with a headline tour and as 2014 edges to a close we come ever closer to their as-yet-unnamed- debut album set for release in 2015. They’re one of the countries most energetic rock bands with a stomping sound and bone crushing riffs.
