December 2019 marks the 40 year anniversary of an important record in our lives, AK79. Within the grooves of this historical landmark compilation lies a connection to our musical whakapapa as New Zealanders and music lovers. A defining record, having captured a raw snapshot of the punk subculture in Auckland during the late 70s, this much-loved compilation is a living, breathing statement of what came before today.

This September will see Straitjacket Fits’ indie-rock classic Melt reissued for the very first time on vinyl LP and CD.

Mermaidens share new single ‘Millennia’ and announce more Australian shows this September!

The latest member of the Flying Nun family, Purple Pilgrims, have released the second single from their Sophomore album Perfumed Earth, due out August 9. 

Fresh off the tarmac after an extensive tour of the UK and Europe, Mermaidens announce their new record, Look Me in the Eye. The trio’s third full-length album is due out September 6th and today the band also revealed the first track from their upcoming release called ‘I Might Disappear’, accompanied by visuals filmed from the band’s recent UK/EU tour. The footage was filmed by Ezra Simons and edited down by Mermaidens’ own, Gussie Larkin.
