Let’s stay in Dunedin for the opening song from a thrilling eponymous first EP from newly-cultured noise rock outfit Pearly* – “Say Whatever“:

Pearly* are Joel Field (guitar, vocals), Phaedra Love (bass, vocals), Ryan Hill (guitar) and Josh Nicholls (drums) and this is an accomplished EP of well-constructed noisy pop songs. If you have loved the noisier side of Dunedin music in recent years (thinking of the likes of Bad Sav, Space Bats, Attack! Asta Rangu, Koizilla, Bathysphere, Dale Kerrigan et al.) then get your ears acquainted to Pearly* ASAP.

The next Bandcamp Friday is coming up in a few days on Friday 3 May, a great time to show Pearly* your appreciation and support. Also a great time to show other self-released bands and artists getting new sounds out to us your appreciation and support.
