The Puddle recommends:
Opposite Sex supported The Puddle in Gisborne in 2011. We liked them so much we invited them to record at Fishrider studio. They did and their accidental and extraordinary album was the result.

Delphine (With A Purpose) / Pinker Sea
by Trick Mammoth
Flower cult guitar pop from Dunedin. Lyrics referencing literature, films, flowers & death. Sublime pop, lovely voices. So much so right about Trick Mammoth.

Cosmic Radio Station
by The Shifting Sands
supported by 13 fans who also own “Oh Hayley (You're Right)”
Another excellent slice of jangle pop goodness from our neighbours across the ditch. The Shifting Sands alt-pop sound is invitingly luscious and texturally rich, consisting of superb fuzzed melodies that happily soothe and excite.

On “II,” The Courtneys flesh out their infectious surf pop with genuine, deep-seated emotion.

Forthright indie rock free of trickery; just gravelly hooks, high energy, and heart-on-sleeve lyricism.
