About Me

We're a band on the heavier side of rock from New Zealand. We,ve been going a few years now and like every band we've had a few ups and a few downs. We built our own studio only to have most of our gear stolen (including our hard drive with half an album on it). Luckily the cops got that back so at present we're continuing to record an album and you can hear the first song from it called Obey. We also did a music vid for that song thanks to some friends who did it for love rather than cash (luckily) and you can check that out below. We're assuming we can get the album finished off this year (but they do say that assumption is the mother of all fck_ups ha ha)
The song Raindance was recorded at Braeburn studios a few years ago with Robbie Duncan who's help was much appreciated. It's from an EP floating around which we wrote & recorded with our former singer Karl.
We're looking forward to getting our new material recorded. The new song's are mainly written when jamming together as opposed to someone writing the whole song & then showing everyone their part. This kind of writing taps into something. Not really sure what. Could be satan or god? 2008 update Presently we are 3/4 into our album & are very happy on the way it is going , fresh songs & a hole lot of learning from the time it has taken, a good mixture of styles combined with the hit of rock, watch out for "HUNTER" also looking forward to filming another video towards the end of the year, cheers to all you rockers out there!Obey
