Sperring was replaced by Brown, they changed their name from Mean Street and things really kicked off...The track Yr Philosophy was one of the biggest local singers of 2010; and the band have toured NZ with their spiritual antecedents The 3Ds and were hand-picked to play around Australia with The Dead Weather.

Record Store Day, now an annual affair, is happening on Saturday April 16th and stores across the country (and around the world) are celebrating the fact that you can still buy great music out in the real world. Record stores have often also provided a haven from the real world for music lovers, something which hopefully hasn't changed.

Record stores can't save your life. But they can give you a better one." Nick Hornby
