Following the death of Chills leader Martin Phillipps and the release of Springboard: The Early Unrecorded Songs, Chills drummer Callum Hampton and bass player Todd Knudson talk about making this very moving new record and the legacy Martin Phillipps left behind.
It never stops! New Music Friday rears its ugly head once more, closing out February with new releases by Foley, The Chills, Panda Bear and more!
Our condolences go out to the family and friends of Martin Phillipps who, with his band The Chills, helped define the Dunedin sound and put New Zealand music on the global map.
Auckland indie-rock band, Voom have released another brand new single, Martin Phillipps, hot on the tail of their most recent single ‘We Don’t Care’ and 2022’s ‘Magic ft. Fazerdaze’ — all out now via Flying Nun Records and made with the support of NZ on Air.
2021 marks the 40th birthday and anniversary of Flying Nun Records. From the first 1981 releases of the Pin Group “Ambivalence” and The Clean’s “Tally Ho!”, through to the last decade of releases from new artists – including Aldous Harding, Reb Fountain, Wax Chattels, Fazerdaze, Mermaidens and others – the Nun has been lucky enough to hitch it’s wagon to more than its fair share […]
2015’s album Silver Bullets was a good start for The Chills second career and 2018’s Snowbound was very well received. We are now at the difficult third album stage for a band whose first career was all about making things difficult for themselves.

Whoo-hoo! New music from The Chills. The song is Worlds Within Worlds.
The Chills announce a blistering array of supports joining them for their nationwide Scatterbrain tour April / May 2021 including the likes of Purple Pilgrims, Luke Buda, Mousey, Asta Rangu, Bitter Defeat and Devil’s Elbow.
Let’s get this weekend started on the right foot…with new music from The Chills!
