The World

Jangly Christchurch pop from the early 1980's. The group recorded a 6 song mini-album with the intent of it being released on Flying Nun Records, however the recordings went unreleased until 2013 when it was picked up and released as a retrospective LP by German label Unwucht. The song 'Mystery' shows the group had bags of potential. #nzmusic #theworld

Victor Dimisich Band

Victor Dimisich Band was formed in 1980 by the song-writing duo of Peter Stapleton and Stephen Cogle while both were members of Vacuum Blue Ladder. Though only around for 18 months and with scant recorded output - they got the ball rolling for successive bands such as Scorched Earth Policy and the Terminals.

Scorched Earth Policy

Excellent early Flying Nun band from Christchurch featuring 3 future Terminals (Stapleton, Elborado and Crook). Some terrific songs that build suspense and tension with galloping drums, rumbling bass and a cacophony of guitar, organ and violin.
