BAND: Kerretta

Biografie

This blistering instrumental three-piece from the hinterlands of Auckland, New Zealand has enchanted audiences with its rhythmic onslaught since 2006. Described variously as “lead-heavy” with “sparse and beautiful” moments, the trio have carved out a unique brand of dark rock that is scattered with melodic hooks. Within a short time of its release, the band’s first single, Death in the Future, became the second most-played track on New Zealand college radio in 2008. From there Kerretta quickly gathered an enthusiastic following, sharing stages with United States artists Explosions in the Sky, the Breeders and ‘Trail Of Dead, before releasing their triumphant debut LP Vilayer in 2009 – the first full-length follow-up to 2008’s Antient EP on 12" vinyl. Vilayer has been lauded in Kerretta’s New Zealand homeland and nominated for the 2010 Taite Music Prize - the New Zealand equivalent of the UK’s Mercury Awards for song-writing. "4/4. Phenomenal album". CWG Magazine (Los Angeles, CA, USA) "5/5. Grand and epic in its own way" Chinashopmag( New York, NY, USA) "Vilayer is an enthralling listen that hails Kerretta as a must-see band" IGN.com (San Francisco, CA, USA) "You’ll have no choice but to die, like an animal, as Kerretta have just literally slayed you with the power of their rock" Assault.it (Chicago, IL, USA) ....and their live show!: "They are certainly one of the finest purveyors of angular hard rock around today".
