The first song to be released from the forthcoming “The Second EP” is “Insane Blues”. The song takes a punk approach to mental health issues, gaslighting from the people that are close to you and what an individual might do in that situation
Following on from their first EP “Punching Darts and Breaking Hearts” released earlier in 2024 The self proclaimed “busiest and loudest 2 piece band in all of NZ”, wanted to keep their punchy edge, a definitive live sound in the recording process and strong blues elements with punk undertones and rhythm.
The band has been regarded as a bit silly so they have taken a more serious approach to this record.
The song (and EP) are recorded by Dominic Whipps at Massey University studios, mixed and mastered by guitarist Nick Potts.
The single and full EP will be released on November 16th 2024.
The band will be doing a tour to celebrate playing shows in Taupo, Napier, Wellington, Auckland and Whangarei.
