Tim Mahon is best known as the bass player for Blam Blam Blam back in the early 1980s, but here he is now with a solo album with the Kerfuffle. The Tiri? Voting for Goats? What's this all about? We review the album. hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/revie…
"Rarer, though, have been released recordings of covers of Hamilton songs. Here, we explore a few of the better exceptions to the rule". hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/the-b…
20 years ago the @HtownWiki hit the internet. It grew to over 2000 articles about our local music scene. Less happily, it also disappeared once or twice. Now the Wiki back again, hosted by us, and it's ready for your eyeballs and contributions. hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/htown…
Better late than never, probably, we review the debut album by The False Waltons - 'The Purpose'! hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/revie…
Christchurch’s Newtones were the band that, for the betterment of NZ music, inspired Rob Mayes to launch his Failsafe Records label back in the early-1980s. Coming full circle, his label - still going strong - have just released a Newtones retrospective. hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/revie…
‘Arcus Way’ is Belladonna’s debut album, and a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since her last release. But just like her last EP, due to my continued relistening, Bandcamp has stopped me from having more. Read our review of the album, below: hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/revie…
Max Johns talks with Andrew Wilson about AW, is kind-of-solo project that definitely isn’t Die! Die! Die! and which is touring a fascinating new album. Oh, and there’s a huge Hamilton connection to the whole thing as well. hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/an-an…
He's only gone and done it again! For the third year straight, HUP's Max Johns has listened to all 83 albums up for the Taite Music Prize. thespinoff.co.nz/pop-culture/28…
Only 3 more sleeps til the new Dick Move album, 'Dream, Believe, Achieve' is out! The launch tour starts this weekend, and The Yard Music Cafe & Bar in Raglan is going to be punk party central on Saturday night. hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/there…
NEW REVIEW: Bots, by pickle darling, is the sound of someone alone in their bedroom, surrounded by ideas and deep feelings, reassembling them into beautiful and thoughtful things. hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/album…
pickle darling has a new album out really soon, and by golly Max is excited. He asked Lukas Mayo about the process of making lo-fi music from fragments, the destructive robots that forced Bots to undergo a last-minute name change, and more... hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/pickl…
Little can be found about the enigmatic False Waltons online, so we attempted to mend the breach by questioning them about their relationship with the American TV drama ‘The Waltons’, the roles of the respective members, their forthcoming album, and more! hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/chonk…
A jangly EP from a New Zealand indy rock band? A song called 'Cricket Enthusiast'? HUP has no more boxes left to tick! Here's what Max thinks of Dog Years by Purple Dog. hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/ep-re…
It's all happening for Cowboy Dan right now. There's a new single out today, a gig at Last Place (with Bitter Defeat and False Waltons) next month, and a new album due in September. That's a lot of jangly goodness, and Leighton told us all about it: hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/cowbo…
Many might remember Sean Lister under the name of DJ Arc from the ‘Liquid Radio’ and ‘Biosphere’ shows on Contact in the 1990s. We talked to Sean ahead of the Contact 50th about musical inspirations, synths, the importance of Contact, and more! hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/synth…
....and, ahead of the Contact 50th, we also recently interviewed Commodore65! (ft. Phil from The Datsuns and Trinket). hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/fun-t…
Ahead of the Contact 50th, we also recently interviewed Broadcast State! hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/accid…
"The Mobile Stud Unit (MSU) are like that one friend who’s great at parties but who you’d never let into your own house". Ahead of the Contact 50th, Max interviews MSU! hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/its-a…
Failsafe Records usually focusses on bands from the Garden City. In a departure from this, their latest release comes from Auckland-based indie rock band Haiku Redo. Read our full review, at the link below. hamiltonundergroundpress.com/features/revie…
Lo-fi instrumentalists DEAN have been active since the mid-1990s featuring (at least, initially) 24 strings (and still) 4 tracks… and an attitude. Ahead of the Contact 50th, we spoke to DEAN about their rules for songwriting, career highlights, and more! hamiltonundergroundpress.com/news/we-have-r…
