Gomorrah- It's hard for me to describe their sound, the best thing I can come up with is "clever metal". The drummer is fucking amazing, the guitarist shreds up, vocalist has one the best screams ever, and it's glued together by synthy noisy awesomeness. Definitely worth checking out if you're a bogan with a brain, or just a little bit curious...
Cherry's Gemstones- Interesting songs, crazy guitars & rock n roll antics, hot girls with pretty voices. There aren't too many gems around like cherry
So so modern- there's enough hype around to sink a battleship, but no one round here does it quite the way they do
Alabaster Theatre- Who the fuck in wellington plays pop'd up pink floyd style prog rock and manages to pull it off with humour and panache? Two words- Alabaster Theatre.
Tommy Ill- Best wellington rapper out that I've seen of late
Carousel- I don't know if these guys are still around, but they play awesome classical/gypsy style music, with cutesy creative lyrics.
Goodbye Galaxy- We like Merzbow? yes. We like Atari Teenage Riot? yes. We like Big Black? oui. Then we're definitely down with this shit...
