Dani Josie – Tuning Fork: October 25, 2025 (13th Floor Concert Review)
Another Saturday, another electrifying night at the Tuning Fork in Auckland, this time to watch Dani Josie perform as part of her SUCKERPUNCH tour. It’s always thrilling to watch local artists perform, and last night was no exception to this particular occurrence.
The Last Dinner Party – From The Pyre (Island) (13th Floor Album Review)
The Last Dinner Party is back, with a sublime return in the form of their new album From The Pyre. An explorative, darker record than their previous work, it’s even better than their debut (which received impressive acclaim across the board).
Ben Chavasse – Boxing (13th Floor Album Review)
Tamaki-Makarau-based indie-folk artist Ben Chavasse is no stranger to honing his craft. Having won Smokefree Rockquest at age 16, he’s been slowly refining it ever since – and now, he’s stepped triumphantly into the open with his debut album, Boxing, an impressive 10-track compilation. The album is produced by Ben and Michael Luke Howell, who […]
Danica Bryant – Big Fan: September 4, 2025 (13th Floor Concert Review)
Indie-pop rising star Danica Bryant took the stage at Big Fan on September 4, after the recent release of what was undoubtedly a stellar first album, Feast. Playing to a small but intimate and excitable crowd, Danica (and the band) put on an undeniably fun performance for all who were lucky enough to attend.
Blood Orange – Essex Honey (Domino) (13th Floor Album Review)
Dev Hynes, otherwise known as Blood Orange, has made an impressive comeback with his freshest album, Essex Honey. His fifth studio album, this might be one of his most moving releases yet – from a sonic and lyrical standpoint, it’s for the most part a chill, contemplative masterpiece that seduces listeners.
Alex Warren – Civic Theatre: August 18, 2025 (13th Floor Concert Review)
Like many people, I was originally exposed to the talent of Alex Warren via Tiktok. Having heard the viral hits and watched many videos, I was more than eager to attend his first show down under, titled the Cheaper Than Therapy Global tour – which crashed the Frontier Touring website when tickets went on sale.
Alex Warren – You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Atlantic) (13th Floor Album Review)
Heartfelt singer-songwriter Alex Warren has finally dropped his first full-length album, titled You’ll be Alright, Kid. Composed of 21 tracks, many of these songs will no doubt tug at the heartstrings of listeners and provoke reactions that are ripe for reflection.
Napoleon Baby – Everybody’s Watching and Nobody Cares (13th Floor Album Review)
Auckland-based post-punk and indie band Napoleon Baby have finally released their debut album, titled Everybody’s Watching and Nobody Cares. A bold statement for a society that often feels like it’s fraying at the edges, Napoleon Baby might just be what’s needed in the music scene right now.
Danica Bryant – Feast (13th Floor Album Review)
Wellington-based pop artist Danica Bryant has finally dropped her highly anticipated album, Feast. Exploring musings on topics like growing up, neurodiversity, sexuality and femininity, Danica has created a relatable record that’s eclectic, catchy and fun. In a year when Danica has hit new heights, this is just the freshest one she’s conquered.
