The Rectifiers

Originally an alt.country band out of Ballarat, Australia, (culminating in 1996's Sparkles from the Wheel) The Rectifiers have traced an increasingly experimental arc across their decade-plus career, all while maintaining an ineffable sweetness and melody.
2004's nocturnal, sighing Wear the Weight of the Resting Sky was an intricate, dream-like affair, one of dark, grey tones, and a sense of quiet melancholy. Compare this to 2008's Playtime for John Mountain, an unbridled joy of technicolour psych-pop and magic realism.

Shihad

Shihad are a four-piece band from New Zealand, comprising Jon Toogood (guitar/vocals), Tom Larkin (drums), Karl Kippenberger (bass) and Phil Knight (guitar). Their style is best described as "hard rock", although they were described as "metal" in their formative years. Shihad were formed in 1988 in Wellington, New Zealand. They were briefly known between 2002-2004 as "Pacifier". During this time the band was attempting to break into the US market and it was decided that Shihad sounded too much like the arabic word 'jihad', thus the name change. Their major albums and EPs include:
