The KaRs are gearing up to release their latest album ‘Home for the Holidays’, a mixture of new waiata and classic carols reimagined promoting the overarching kaupapa of kotahitanga (unity, togetherness).

“I will never forget this moment. 3 days have passed and my feet still haven’t touched ground”

“I wrote this song about growing up with the pressure to be perfect as the older sister in a Chinese family, and living up to your parents’ expectations. It's also got some silly, goofy elements to it, including food puns and an ode to my love for Hainan chicken rice…and honestly, it’s an allusion to just how much food is part of culture and family.”

STAR CHART’s latest EP release weaves the mundanity of suburban life into tales of humour and quirky charm. On the back of two light-hearted single releases in 2024, the full five-track EP delivers three more relatable songs for listeners to digest. 

Back with their third new single of the year following ‘Leopard Print Coat’ and ‘Living Room Floor’, West Auckland “post-surf” rockers Double Parked have dropped their latest single, ‘Scars / Sober’, arriving just in time to soundtrack the Aotearoa Summer season ahead.
