I have loved this band for ages and am delighted that they have survived long enough to set down this batch of songs for posterity. Everything you need to know about the band is present here, and the only thing that you are missing is the live experience of having singer Maya dancing on your furniture and tangling you up in yards of microphone cable.
So So Modern- Crude Futures
7/10
Enduring and endearing Wellington band So So Modern has finally released their debut album after six years and as many EPs. Capturing their energy and enthusiasm, the apocalyptic-themed
Crude Futures

Alright, alright I am obviously against censorship of any kind so I will no longer screen comments. Just don’t be a flaming douche but most importantly don’t just post to plug your shit. Do I come over to your house and spraypaint "THE WHITE NOISE SUPREMACISTS- ON TOUR NOW!!!" on your livingroom wall? No. I don’t. So don’t do it here. If you leave a comment that’s oh so clever, or your pic/name looks interesting, well, people will click on your profile and check you out. I know. I do it all the time. Oh and no huge obnoxious images either. Respeck mah house. If anyone violates these commandments I vow that one day soon I will be found bathing gleefully in a fountain of your blood. Don’t test me. Really. Now…as you were.
I’m convinced even more.
