New Material
TRACK - ARTIST THE SECRET WEAPON - TEMPO 38 Formed in 2000, Tempo 38 plays their own crossbred style of Hardcore and
driving rock. As somewhat veterans of the New Zealand punk/hardcore scene "The Tempo Boys" perform an energetic show of
alcohol & smoke fueled mayhem.
ARTIST FEELSTYLE A landmark figure in the NZ hip-hop scene since its origins, Feelstyle (aka Picasso or Kas) has had
several names and personas over the years but has maintained a rep that gets respect like no other.
VIDEO - ARTIST DREAMING - SCRIBE Scribe has been nominated 9 times for the 2004 NZ Music Awards, proving to be the
success story of NZ Hip Hop. Currently he is in UK carving up the scene. Check the vid that tells the story of Scribes
humble ambitions from his youth.
ALBUM - ARTIST PETER PAN EP - BORED GORDON Bored Gordon enjoy loud fuzzy guitars but place emphasis on the importance
of melody. Formed out of the ashes of the band Dozer, Bored Gordon has been the most solid unit of collaborators Simon
and Marc. After a year of performing together around the Auckland pub scene with such bands as Voom, The Sneaks,
Lunavela, The Sushi and Jackpoint, a cohesive sound has developed. http://www.amplifier.co.nz/amp/view?item_id=8883
