Christchurch eletro-pop troop that burst onto the All-Ages scene with the super-fun home-recorded MySpace single ('Nikee') and then a flurry of live shows, including achieving success as a wildcard entry in the Smoke-Free Rock-Quest regional finals. An exciting mix of electronics, guitar and pulsating rhythm, Bang! Bang! Eche! are Charlie Ryder (guitar), James Sullivan (Drums), T'Nealle Worsley (Bass) and Zach Doney (Vocals / Effects).
s artists
Indie pop-rock out of Christchurch based around Joe Sampson (guitar / vocals / keys / bass etc) with James Sullivan (drums) and Ben Ordering (bass) on most of their recordings. Strong on melody with big chiming guitar and unfussy rhythmic backing, their songs have a timeless quality to them - sometimes jangling, sometimes driving, and with Sampson's powerful guitar playing always ready to attack.
b artists
Brash, noisy, post-Earthquake Christchurch group who made a bit of a splash with the 'Welcome to Mediocrity' release on local label Melted Ice Cream in 2012.
