Nz Band

[Jono Russell]

just curious if anyone knows the name of a nzband that i am after. i need there song name as well.

all i know of the song so far is that some of the lyrics are

'Not Many, If Any'
and ' Rock a show like this'

That would be Scribe. He's a solo artist though, not a band. The song you're thinking of is "Not Many" off his album "The Crusader" (and yes, he's from Cantebury). He's the hottest hip-hop artist in NZ at the moment, which means he's pretty big in NZ as local rappers routinely break into the top ten over there.

Thanks mate, i think this guy has talent and is awsome

He was almost definitely the single biggest thing in NZ in 2003. His album and first single (Stand Up) were, I would guess, just about the fastest selling single and album in NZ history (I don't mean by NZ artists, I mean by anyone.)

But I reckon he is kinda crap. Mareko is #1 fo sho.

I liked 'Not Many' heaps but i got over it really quick. Stand up is OK and Crusader.

Stand Up is mega gay, his worst song ever. I like the Not Many remix though (that's the one on the video). Is Crusader the "Theme to the Crusader" or whatever it's called??? That beat was put to much better use on "The Summit Anthem" featuring Mareko and Flowz.

blindspott mate....thats the only nz band you gotta know!!

Sure, if you like talentless baggy-panted rock bands.
If your looking for a good NZ rock bands try finding some early Shihad albulms, Pushpush & Pumpkinhead.
'Stand Up' was horrible but the 'Not many' re-mix was catchy and got stuck in my head for several months.
What ive heard of Mareko sounded pretty good but ive only heard the one song that got mega-air time on tele.

What are blindspott then? Hiphop? Nope. Metal? Certainly Not.
They sound like a Limp Bizkit covers band. A bad one!

yeah, "Here to stay" and "Stop Drop and Roll" are not bad songs IMO, but I could understand if people don't like them. On his album White Sunday though, pretty much every track is good, and I daresay he drops much better verses than he does on songs like Stop Drop and Roll, which is pretty much radio fluff. He is a tremendous MC.
