Record Labels
Simon Griggs' mighty fine Propeller Records - was (along with Ripper Records) the label that kicked off New Zealand's independent record scene with an absolute hoard of excellent singles through the first few years of the 1980s. #nzmusic #propellerrecords #screamingmeemees #blamblamblam #newmatics
Record Labels
Legendary and short-lived indie punk label that debuted right on the cusp of the New Zealand underground explosion (i.e. they predate and are noted as a precursor to Flying Nun). Ripper was basically where New Zealand punk first surfaced with the likes of the Suburban Reptiles, the fleetingly popular Swingers, Scavengers etc - basically the cream of the early New Zealand punk scene.
Album Reviews
My review of 'Compilation', the original retrospective of The Clean's first phase releases. 2 singles and 2 EPs crammed into a brilliant album.
