Biography
Its hard to describe Pumpkinhead.
Maybe riding off the likes of the Infectious Grooves, but with a mid-90s funk-metal edge (not as bad as it sounds) that distinguished them from just about everyone. Hugely popular through-out New Zealand for a short period, their singles ‘Water’ and ‘Nark’ were underground hits – but they ultimately faded away as their metal side became unfashionable.
