Change is afoot. And possibly a hand and a shoulder too. Today we've moved out of Amplifier Towers and into our new offices which we've christened Amplifier Dungeons. We're waving goodbye to the view of Mt Eden and natural sunlight as our new digs are positively subterranean and the only view is of a brick wall. But the trade off is better internet speeds and we'll be 30 secs away from Auckland's best pie shop.  

Release Of The Day:
The Dunstan Rangfers - Second Life

Second Life is The Dunstan Rangers' second album - following on from Unhugged - and sees the Wellingon alt country band power their way through songs that believe in melody, lyrics, signature riffs and vocal harmony.

The work of a band comfortable with its current line up of several years. The album shows how they have solidified their playing style around their fourteen self penned melodic songs.
