# Wow!
He sounds like Mike Patton here, but slightly less insane.
And here I'm getting Trent Reznor!
I'll be checking my local music stores!

# yes that is one of the decent songs from the last album.
also:
"Romance of the Damned" - pretty decent emo/80s riff
"Drinking Beer Is Awesome" - dumb and two dimensional but still fun
"Sun Comes Through My Window" - 38 seconds of samba school (this album was recorded in Brazil)
"Ad Spot" - another 30 seconds of silliness
"Michelle" - corny little pop ballad
"Destroy This Town" - rocking, kind of flat but more like their mid-period work

the other five tracks just sound like everything that was wrong with mid-nineties antipodean pop-rock (I'M LOOKING AT YOU SHIHAD, TADPOLE, AND THE REST)

# also, there are two singer/songwriters, which may account for some of the stylistic differences you're hearing.

# The best sort of bands let everyone sing
Try Sloan, they're like Canada's Beatles

# groovy, baby
as far as Beatles-ish-but-not-shit bands go the NZ equivalent is the mighty George D. Henderson (as The Puddle)
