The 3Ds
One of the greatest New Zealand groups of all-time - The 3Ds were one of the key groups in my own personal history as a fan of New Zealand Music. Led by 2 contrasting guitar playing front-men ably backed by a terrific, explosive rhythm section - their songs were full of hooks and exciting noise and distortion. #nzmusic #the3ds

Constant Pain
Constant Pain were a sadly under-recorded group featuring brilliant underground noisy guitar legends Cameron Bain and Roddy Pain, along with a revolving drummers seat of some of New Zealand's finest drummers. Walls of wailing feedback and rolling rhythm drive some immense tunes. Both guitarists passed away in the 2010's. #nzmusic #constantpain #undergroundmusic #crawlspacereocrds

Full of Riot Grrrl attitude and cool vocals from Japanese Vocalist Eri Miyabayashi. #nzmusic #thejewlofmessamoocho #therevengers
