We have the second single “Pills” from BURDENZ, a punk/grunge band from Aotearoa (New Zealand). The Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) based trio consists of Jimmy Coldham (guitars, vocals), Alex Ross Smith (backing vocals) and Alex Gallagher (drums).

Pealing guitars hit you from the start and soon clashes with the screaming vocals of Coldham, as each tries to bludgeon out the other, and yet the drums of Gallagher freight train through, syncing up the belting track.

For three blokes from NZ, BURDENZ sounds bigger than Ber Hur and I can just imagine seeing these guys would leave you slightly deaf, but rather pleased with the auditory bashing. So far I have no idea what “Pills” is about, I just know I sink into this track and just let it take me along for the ride.
