Sounds Like
“Aotearoa's style of funky, jam-band rock was danceable and fun...The rhythmic drum beats and snappy, clever guitar riffs worked together in perfect harmony. The instruments backed up the singing to make funky tunes that were easy to groove to and so catchy that every song left the audience cheering for more...the band's sound was fantastic and addictive and got the audience moving.” - Examiner.com
