Cranking up the distortion and existential dread: Slippery When Wet delivers reptilian roadside horror with a killer hook, while Coma Beach's I Won't Listen cuts like shards of broken glass — violent jolts of punk refusal — and their The Scapegoat's Agony razor-sharpens that punk catharsis with Beckett-fueled existential turmoil. Modern Ideas pivots to plastic dreams and electric romance with '80s-soaked DIY synth-pop, while Auckland's Stars and the Underground conjure post-punk shoegaze with ethereal guest vocals soaring to new heights. som som rounds things out with lo-fi indie rock that lurches from moody verses to euphoric noise-pop bliss.
