Guitar pop from Palmerston North, though not quite in the same league of shimmering textural guitar as Chris Heaphy's later band Dissolve their 1985 EP 'Waiting for a Wave' has the odd hook and shows promise. Named after the Central Otago mountain range.

The very first group to record on Flying Nun Records, fronted by legendary experimental guitarist Roy Montgomery. Dark and Gloomy, evocative recordings - suitably earning the nickname 'Roy Division'.

The Shallows were a short-lived Christchurch trio fronted by Roy Montgomery in 1985. Backed by Mick Elborado (bass) and Mary Heney (guitar / vocals) the trio recorded and self-released a sole 7" single over a couple weeks in May, 1985.
The single was the result of a $750 government arts grant - the group laid out their exact expenses on the inside sleeve of the single.
Roy Montgomery is an exceedingly prolific artist with a deep catalogue of music; solo, in collaboration or as part of several groups. His music has varied from deep-throated post punk to glacial guitar drones and seen release by over 15 labels around the world.
