Reviews of The Flaxxies, BB & the Bullets, Lachie Hayes, Brent West, and Jeiel; plus music industry news on releases and tours, more words from the notorious capitalist sponsors, a decidedly Gallic intermission, another lesson in English vowel pronunciation from another region, and finally a pearl of wisdom from South East Asia's only Scottish monkey mum. This is not a typo.

I'm aware Greta Van Den Brink is an actor and stunt artist. She's turning her hand to music too, and I have to say I am rather impressed. New single, the head-turner of a title being Swimming On A Spoon, has charmed me. I wasn't expecting it to be as enjoyable as I found it, frankly. I always love new music....

Exciting! A new act for me to review! Papercity are originally from Nelson, although they hang out in the big smoke Tāmaki Makaurau these days. A self-described alt-pop band, they consist of vocalist/guitarist Alex Hargreaves, drummer Sam Edmonds, and bass player (I assume) Jack (great name there!) Rollinson. New single Bored is great. It's an absolute indie classic, with synths as an underbelly to some semi-mean guitars, a playful yet astute drum performance, and a steady, velvety bass holding the groove....

Blake is one of the artists of my journey into music reviewing. Simple as that. As a lyricist this lady is measured, concise, artistic, empathic, and kind. As a songwriter she's professional and astute. New single The Gift You Gave Me is a beautiful piano-led song about loss. Timed for release on Friday 20th December, the intent is to remind us that some of us are doing the hard yards right now, in the midst of silly season, dealing with the loss of a loved one....

I have never hidden how much I dig Underwire. I've seen this band live in its infancy and even then it was clearly a project that was meshed, tight and going places. I've previously mentioned Johnny Mills is a good mate and we go back a good twenty or so years together in the Wellington scene, but his pedigree, and that of the other band members…...

I've missed the boat on release date, as it's already been out since Friday 13th (AAAAA!) but The Transits are right back in the thick of it with another surefire hit named Come Melt My Heart. I find this band to be a complete joy to listen to, so forgive me as I'm about to gush. They've managed yet again to find a foot-stomping melody that's got an earworm catchiness, is going to undeniably get mass audience participation of, and is cool, loud, energetic, and smacks of skater-boy meets punk....
