We totally didn't rip off anyone while recording this.

Thanks to Moss at Rocawave Records for helping us record our "odd" sounds and for not saying any harsh words; thank you to the people who may or may not choose to listen.

Emily Joy Morrison (lyrics)

Pour your crown
Burn your lungs
Tie your hair
Joy

Lick your palms
Cut yourself
Twist a smile
Joy

Close your eyes
Sharpen your teeth
Aimer un son

The Band's Rock single "Turn the Tables" 

The Neo-Kalashnikovs & Their Italian Record Label: White Zoo Records

The band mailed off 30 copies of our "Turn the Tables/Gorgeous Baby Studio/Live E.P" to Italy last week. Was happy with the product we sent over so hopefully our man Sergio can help flick around our copies before we get our first official vinyl released pressed up. He's a really onto it dude and his awesome label is White Zoo Records. They've released some great releases and some sick punk records. I especially like the glam-rock band Guido who are kick ass and remind me of The Darkness. Here is a link to their latest single and video below:

Rock On The Neos

Sean Bailey VS McDonalds

Sean Bailey was a young McDonalds worker who was unfairly dismissed by his employer. 

The reason for his unjust dismissal was due to the fact that Sean found out and helped expose the corruption of McDonalds not giving legally untitled breaks and not paying their employees what they were legally entitled to be paid.

Millions of dollars is still outstanding to all workers who have been denied their PAID breaks.

The protest also sought to address workers being fired for placing an extra piece of cheese on a burger! Not many people know about these issues due to the active suppressing by the mainstream media. It is not uncommon for NZ Mac Donald's employees to work

for 10 hours without a break! The Neos were out to support UNITE UNION as they protested with Sean against corporate exploitation of young

people and others in New Zealand!

A big thank you to Jo Carolan of Unite Union and Sean Bailey

As well as friend Omar Hamed

"Turn The Tables" Rock Single off to FBI Radio in Aussy (The Neos)

Today The Neos sent off their Rock single "Turn The Tables" to FBI Radio by dragonfly with way to many postage stamps for the journey. The winged monster just couldn't get enough of those Hobbit stamps lol. I really hope the parcel got tracked Gabe haha

shout out to Volita for rocking the Glue Spraycan and getting those covers on haha!!!

Also a big thanks to our dad who took a day of work to roll up to the studio with us and produce the bands biggest songs so far. He really did a Rick Rubin and was sprawled out on the couch in the studio and just listened for a while like a Zen-master.

And while we were all struggling to cut the right performance he was chilling out. But then thankfully he saved the whole operation by telling us all to play TNT way slower. He also said the vibe of the track needed some more slacker rock, so he told us to not try to hard haha!          

By the grace of the rock devil it definitely did the trick as its been the bands biggest radio success. Some one even said it was being spun in China (just a joke). Well not quite but its a tune with a good pair of legs on it and thats what you want!!! :) You can stream the song below, download it for free or buy it off iTunes!! whatever you do remember to rock the f@ck on !!!

A Racket of a Road Crash!!! - NZ Rockers risk lives in Virtuous act as Good Samaritans

 The band weighing up how to push the Totalled Car while dis-regarding Giant Petrol Leak!!!

Breaking News:
There was a Racket of a car- crash in Mt Albert today folks. Being the good old Moss Rock minding my own business, heaven behold, in my very own neck of the woods,  the whole Rackets Gang out in full force trying to rock a totalled vehicle out of on coming traffic. Funnily enough the driver of the car was still lodged in her seat trying her very best to make the car go up in a flaming fire-ball by gunning the engine to the max. Unfortunately my loyal readers, even Toyotas can't drive themselves when both wheels are completely munched into the bumper were the license plate you'se to live.

Despite the potentially life threatening scene that occurred at the lethal intersection of New North and Alberton Ave, the Rackets men were the Auckland Rock band of the hour. The trio piled out of their car like an All Black rugby scrum against Italy and decided to lend their raw power to the rage against the machine. It really was a tectonic sight Oscar, Jeremy and Vince pushed with all their might. Indeed they did their very best to clear the car from oncoming traffic. And seriously I don't know about you but fuck AA call Rackets those dudes are onto it bro!! 

Anyway I didn't stay long enough to see what happened in the end hopefully rock prevailed over a half-destoyed pile of mangled metal. But hell, was I gonna hang around a leaking petrol bomb previously known as a car on the off chance that one of the gang might accidentally light a ciggie and send the whole bitch flying sky high, Hell No, but what a sight that would've been!!!

Premier: These Violent Delights - Unreleased Songs Now Streaming - Produced by The Neo-Kalashnikovs

                                 


Here are the first live streamings of These Violent Delights produced by Volita Bioletti of The Neo-Kalashnikovs. The as yet unreleased songs were recorded and mixed by Ollie Harmer at The Lab studios in Mt Eden.

These Violent Delights are Blue, AJ, Belinda & Scot all veteran rockers from Auckland, New Zealand.
The group recently preformed a packed out showcase at Kinja bar hosted by John Cameron in Whangaparaoa. I was their to witness their performance first hand and loved it. The stand out track on the night judging by the crowds reaction was "Underground". The song actually reminds me of so many awesome 90's rock anthems that I have grown up listening too. I'm really excited about this new song as I definitely think it has some legs on it.

The official release of the untitled E.P will be due out early 2014. The release will be handled by Rocawave Records in NZ, Aus and their PR subsidiary (name withheld) in Britain. The release will also be out through White Zoo Records, Italy. Doors are still open for label and distribution enquiries in the U.S ;) rocawaverecords@gmail.com

Have a RockNRolling good time going into 2014 and keep those amps up loud!!!

fri 3rd THE LINCOLN ~ Whangamata

Fri 17th THE GREAT NORTHERN ~ Newcastle

Lock up your daughters and batter down the hatches because Darcy Gladwin aka Cure Motel is getting ready to tear up the clubs across NZ & Aussy. His commercial debut single"Do It (Your Own Way)" out on Rocawave Records has already been testing well on the road. When he played at the Raglan Yot Club the kids stood up, listened and then went crazy!!! 

The single will be worked to radio through Auckland's newest upstart Record company Rocawave and released on physical Cd through Big Cartel, the bands Bandcamps and Itunes for digital download. 

The Neo-Kalashnikovs helped produce the alternative dance rock anthem and its ready for radio rotation thanks to mastering engineer Brian Lucey (the 5 time grammy winner). The band were utterly stoked to be part of the Melbourne producers musical process. Between the two parties sonic heavy artillery was in full operation. And sonic bass lines and powerful lyrics were deployed within the electric circuits of Auckland cities beating heart.

Oringially Volita Bioletti; lead singer and guitarist of the Neos had planned to produce the record herself. However, at the last minute drummer Moss swooped in and whisked the producer off to the Legendary, Lab studios in Mt Eden and got busy buying studio time and offering Darcy a second pair of ears on the final tweaks of the mix. 

Olly Harmer was at the helm of the Neve mixing desk with Darcy firing orders like a general of Dance royalty. Firmly in control of the creative initiative at hand his perceptive ironclad vision, eyed the finest details of the single that most would have missed. The result was the birthing of a soon to be underground smash with huge mainstream crossover potential particular in Japan!!!

The Head of A&R at Rocawave also helped film the whole recording session in the studio. Just so everyone doesn't start to think that Darcy wasn't the man riffing on the Les-Paul on the dance track . Although the release of the track has been delayed momentarily due to Darcy's heavy workload After all he is at the business end of finishing his full feature-length film; "Godplex"!!! 

The Must see NZ film of 2014 stars Shane Holland lead singer of Freaky Meat and has been shot over many Summers in Wellington and all across New Zealand. I was at test screening of the film and visual work is looking exciting and refreashing, especially when compared to the dross of some films being made in this day and age! 

As of writing this article there have also been hot debates on whether Cure Motel and Rocawave Records will license the song "Do It (Your Own Way)" as the theme song for Godplex, it all depends on the artistic vision of Darcy's sound design team who have a certain aesthetic in mind...but you never know! fingers crossed the song will be cleared and underscore a pivotal scene in the movie, I'd pay good money to see that! 

Due to the creative collaboration of actor Shane Holland and director Darcy Galdwin that spans over 10 years. Rocawave demands that both parties. who helm Cure Motel and Freaky Meat respectively should be the first official release on Record Records!! in 2014 

Two brand new music videos are in the wings for the release in mid-January!!!  

Exclusive physical cd's of Rocawaves first release will be available via Cure Motel at every show on his New Zealand Tour in Janurary. 

Both songs will also be Streaming live on Soundcloud very soon.The label is just finalizing which platform will officially premier the two songs. 

Sit tight New Zealand, real music is on the way!!! Rock On!!!
