He is a prolific songwriter and serial collaborator, with voracious capacity and freakish efficiency.
🎵 The Butlers - One of those bands that simply command your attention from the moment you lay eyes (or ears) on them. It’s unclear whether it’s their suave suit and sneaker combos, or their smooth funk-infused rock sound that has this effect. However, one thing is clear – The Butlers certainly have the ‘it’ factor.
🎵 Dolphin Friendly - Dolphin Friendly are a four piece, hard hitting, no-bullsh*t, psych-hard-rock-hop band, born from the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. The band are an emerging revolutionary soundscape destined to be remembered by their hard-rock anthems, cemented together by a visionary of greater consciousness designed to empower humanity. Their music holds a firm message against the shadow players of the Earth who break the core values that are intrinsic to the peace of the planet, while also allowing the listener to be taken on a personal journey of the band. The band back this up by actively donating 10% of all their tour profits to disadvantaged individuals, communities, or relevant causes in need, with thousands of dollars being donated to issues associated with; chronic illness, mental health, racism, poverty, and sustainability.
🎵 PARK RD - Named as 'one to watch by Rolling Stone Australia, PARK RD are a 5-piece indie/rock band from West Auckland, New Zealand. Formed as school friends, PARK RD have received great support from local playlists and accumulated over 2.5 million+ streams on previous songs.
