Here Come the
Bulletholes- Various Artists Fantastic - an eighteen-track compilation
capturing the moment in time of the current state of the Auckland alternative
guitar music scene. The collection covers a wide range of styles within the
alt-scene, from twangin' banjo on Mikael H
poignant "Missed" through to the dense wall of sound in "It's Yesterday" by
the Venturi Effect.Opening number
"Bulletholes" by Mary is a slice of
pure pop brilliance, complete with catchy hook and sweet lyrics. Next rack is
"Someday" courtesy of Mixture- originally recorded back in '99, this
one has aged well. Highlights are thick on the ground - the Demi Whores
"Good Angel/Bad Angel", Secret Boyfriend's
soft harmonising on "Been Stung" and the tale of a Catholic education on "Girl
Town" by All Torn Up are all worth checking. "The Ice In Yr Head" by
Chris Knox deserves special mention, both for its musical merit - Knox
confirms his legendary status, showing the young 'uns where its at - and because
it was recorded exclusively for this compilation. Also warranting mention are
"I Should Have Known When She Said She Didn't Like Feedback" by Edward Gains
(what a song title), "Too In For the Out Crowd (Too Out for the In Crowd)" by
Davy G and The Conduits of Consumption and Voom with "We're So
Lost, We're in Danger". Released by Powertool Records, home to a handful of
the featured bands, this compilation is an excellent sampler for those searching
for some fresh new kiwi indie pop.
