On the threshold of what will be a triumphant 12-date national tour starting next Thursday, May 30, we have the good fortune to be talking with bassist Paul Martin at 12.30pm, as we put the spotlight on Devilskin and their powerful new six-song EP, Surfacing.
In contrast, a band just starting out and has already tasted early success, Purple Dog, of Dunedin Ōtepoti, have their second track released to the world and we’ll be talking to lead singer Imogen at 2pm about the group and the music scene in Scarfieland.
The good folks at Blackout Music NZ says Surfacing is a collection of three brand new Devilskin tracks and three long-time live favourites.
‘The band come up for air to celebrate the last decade by making a mark in the sand to take stock of the successes achieved and incredible experiences shared since the release of We Rise.
‘Live set staples The Whale Song, Holy Diver, and their jaw-dropping rendition of ’70s hard-kicking rock anthem Barracuda, wrap up the loose ends from the past.’
Paul Martin explains: “These tracks were all important parts of Devilskin’s early years as they helped establish the dynamics of our live show since the We Rise 2014 Tour, so it felt right to finally record them for our faithful and give them a home on this record.”
Drummer Nic Martin says: “We gave the world a taste of new material last year with Let Me Breathe, and now we’re excited to continue looking ahead with new tracks Insects and Unborn. Those who have made it to a recent Devilskin headline show may have caught a glimpse of these songs, and we’re all incredibly proud of how they’ve come to life in the studio with Dave Rhodes co-producing.”
Blackout Music NZ says: ‘The band have stepped up magnificently on this recording, featuring lead guitarist and Gibson artist Nail Vincent’s powerful, distinctive style, and singer Jennie Skulander delivering a vocal performance that’s unequivocally up there with the best work she’s ever done.
‘Surfacing is Devilskin again proving the strength and depth of their songwriting. Powerful, eloquent, and evocative, it continues the story of Devilskin’s impressive ascent.’
The Devilskin We Rise 10th anniversary tour, with special guests Tadpole featuring Emma Dilemma, plus Skinny Hobos, runs from May 30 to June 29, with Auckland dates: Fri, June 28, Paraoa Brewing, Whangaparaoa; Sat June 29, Powerstation.
Purple Dog are fast rising to prominence on the Dunedin music scene. As winners of the annual Next in Line band competition last year, they were given the opportunity to record their work, with second single I Feel the Same the result.
An indie alternative band of five music students, Purple Dog ‘produce exciting and eclectic sounds’, their press department reports.
‘Their music and presence is woven with glittering guitar and catchy melody, backed by driving rhythms that propel listeners into a sonic journey of introspection and exhilaration.’
I Feel the Same was recorded, mixed and mastered by Hendrix Grant of Albion Studios Dunedin.
