Turn it UP
20.09.10
Today's featured might be an acoustic EP but there is no reason why you can't play it loud... unless you're using them tiny bud earphones in which case do ya ears a favour and keep it mild or at least civil.
Release Of The Day:
Dukes - Settle Down ( Acoustic EP)
Dukes have gone from winning MTV's Kickstart competition to supporting Gomez and INXS on their NZ dates. They toured as support to Dave Dobbyn, Gin Wigmore, Midnight Youth, Th'Dudes and The Checks. They've even had a song played in the popular US TV series 'Brothers and Sisters'.
Formed in Christchurch by brothers Matt and Jo Barus, Dukes' music is infectious, unpretentious and steeped in tradition. The band cares about the craft of songwriting, the art of performing, and it shows.
The Settle Down EP contains five new acoustic recordings of old favourites including Self Control and Vampires.
