Drowners’ eponymous debut secured the band a small yet solid fanbase, upon which upcoming album ‘On Desire’ seems certain to build. ‘On Desire’ strays from the formulaic indie-rock of its predecessor, sounding all the more intoxicating for stretching beyond the band’s most obvious influences. The Smiths are out, and Echo And The Bunnymen are in. The result? A swathe of post-punk minor-key melodies laden with unforgettable guitar lines and explosive choruses.
In the lead-up to the release of Jojo Moyes’ book-turned-film, ‘Me Before You’ - out in NZ cinemas now! - we thought we’d compile a list of authors you’ll like if you’re a fan of her writing (and if cried many tears because of ‘Me Before You’ and Moyes’ other titles).
But first, here’s some official info on the upcoming film release:
Emilia Clarke is an actress who’s played many a different character - her latest role as Lou in ‘Me Before You’ is totally different to her regular character as the Queen Of Dragons (a.k.a. Daenerys Targaryen) in ‘Game Of Thrones’, but she owns the screen just as well.
To celebrate the release of her new film, ‘Me Before You’, we’ve decided to compile a list of things that we currently appreciate about Emilia.
But first, here’s some official information about the film:
In a live Q&A with BBC Radio 1, Matty Healy of The 1975 spoke about his intentions to return to New Zealand.
Though he initially appears confused, he begins to understand as the questions start to roll in. Also Ross in the background is my favourite part of this whole video.

Never give up on your dreams, New Zealand.

Premiering on NME last week, Japanese Wallpaper has released a new single into the world in the form of ‘Cocoon’ - a glittering yet laid-back track, filled with delicate layered harmonies.
Following a support slot on M83’s recent Australian tour, it’s the first we’ve heard from Gab Strum for a little while, but is hopefully a sign of things to come.
In a recently released interview with Rawk, Matty Healy of The 1975 spoke about the rarity of the ‘Milk’ vinyl - a special pressing that was a split release with The Neighbourhood’s ‘No Grey’. The 7” vinyl was extremely limited and only sold on The Neighbourhood’s tour, and fans have been requesting a re-press for many years.
When asked if there would be a re-pressing of the vinyl, he had the following to say:
Jenny Lewis has formed a new band called Nice As Fuck - or N.A.F. for short - with friends, The Like's Tennessee Thomas and Au Revoir Simone's Erika Forster.
