Building excitement for their debut album in October, ‘I Don’t Wanna’ is the follow-up single to their bone-shaking track ‘Dead Sky’. the self-proclaimed ‘mind-altering riff hypnotists’ have written an anthemic track about the push and pull, or ups and downs, experienced when burning the candle at both ends - and what could be a more perfect anecdote than high-octane primal rock n roll to smash out your feelings too.
“The song was originally ‘shelved’ after we started jamming it,” says lead singer Ewen Glasgow, “but months later I came up with the pre-chorus and it made the song come alive. That’s when we knew it was a banger.”
Not only have Pieces of Molly got the rock look fine-tuned, but it’s also crystal clear they’re a solid group with every member knowing their craft, and how to rock out. Made up of Ewen Glasgow (lead guitar/vocals), Doug Stewart (bass, backing vocals), Sam Kubiak (rhythm guitar, backing vocals) and Kurt Fleming (drums, percussion, backing vocals).
“Although it is easy to draw comparisons to a host of classic rock influences, the band’s sound is a tightly constructed cocktail that includes everything from Aerosmith to Red Fang.”

“We all have a lot of influences, but if you put us in a room with a live setup, we a gonna come up dirty rock n roll every time.”
The production quality of ‘I Don’t Wanna’ is noteworthy for its high-quality live sound. Recorded and mixed at Loho Studios in Christchurch by Adam Hogan and Josh Logan, and mastered by Samuel K Sproull.
Pieces of Molly formed in 2012, and have released 2 EPs and 7 singles, including ‘Spirit Man’ and ‘Dead Sky’, which have been blasted on The Rock FM and Radio Hauraki.
Alongside their high-energy shows on tours across New Zealand and Australia, the band have played well-known festivals such as River Range, Mojo Burning, and Dead of Winter. They’ve also played support slots for International bands such as Radio Moscow, Anvil, 1000mods, Wo Fat and local legends Head Like A Hole, Beastwars and The Datsuns.
