Guest Post: R.I.P. Rick Bryant by Chris Armour

Very sad to hear of the passing of Rick Bryant yesterday. At one time a giant in the New Zealand music industry and by all accounts he had stories for days. Sharing his story about connecting with Rick and his legacy, I offer this post by guitarist Chris Armour. Chris is involved in many musical […]

Anxiety Club: Francine [EP]

Anxiety Club Francine (ep) (Independent/Bandcamp) I was impressed with Anxiety Club’s earlier EP, Black Heart – and they’ve created three more songs that burst from the speakers for new EP, Francine – it’s onward and upward for this Wellington-based group.

Five Songs For Friday: 17 – (New and Old) Favourite Instrumentals

It’s been a big week of podcast-edits for me, and as well as layering in loads of music (often instrumentals) I’ve been listening to lots of instrumental music even when not editing. There are some new and old favourites here. Something for everyone, hopefully. Five things that I dig at any rate.
