It’s go time for Ōtautahi Christchurch teen rockers HOMESICKK?, who’ve just unleashed their debut EP and are soon boosting it to the annual Shimane JETT Rock ‘n’ Roll Festival in Japan, invited to play by garage-punk gods Guitar Wolf. Emotions and amplifiers are dialled up to 11 on After all that’s said and done…, a scorching triple track collection (plus intro) which shows how the team of Grace Wakefield, Kash Perry, Luci Willmott-Dalton and Asay Ujihara caught the attention of Seiji himself.
‘Eyecandy’ is a snarling maximum energy opener, ‘Don’t Tell Michael Lucas I Stole His 1993 Ford Capri’ delivers twin vocal power-pop / emo-punk epic sweep, while recent single ‘The World Atlas of Street Fashion’ shifts gears with slo-mo heavy fuzz-crunch and a touch of jangle-rock balladry. An assured first outing with already well-honed songwriting chops on full display, hit play on the EP and go catch HOMESICKK? with friends this Saturday at Darkroom — also playing with Soft Bait tonight at Wunderbar…
