This is the old blog of former host of the 95bfm Hard fast & heavy show (2006-2014).
It was used for playlists and other miscellaneous posts, so is kept here for archive / posterity.
If you're facebook/internet savvy & have music tastes so inclined you should know that North Carolinian's Between the Buried and Me are playing two shows in New Zealand (follow the facebook events page link for more info)
on that same page was posted the following:
"Congratulations

support at both shows on the BTBAM/AAL NZ Tour. We now have one opening
spot available at each show - email rwentertainment@gmail.com if you
think your band is worthy of this opportunity!"

Since April, Resporn have been hard at work; releasing
their first EP, "Divisionary" (available on iTunes), the official release gig in
June which was a great success & the release of their first
music video for the song "Blessed Wings".
Between all of this and a few select shows, Resporn have
started work on their first full length album, as yet untitled.
Writing and recording "Divisionary" was a huge achievement
that they are very proud of but say the next album is going to be a
huge leap in an entirely different direction. And with current
influences being so varied between band members, the follow up to
Divisionary is going to be filled with more complexity, depth and
dynamics than even they could have imagined.
Local lads, Resporn, who recently released "Divisionary" and appeared on the Hard fast & heavy show to tell us about it, are filming a music video this weekend and next month are having an album release party with more friends of the hard fast & heavy show.
Friends of the show, Dreams of the Dead & Mothra are playing at the Kings Arms with (now) Auckland based Mutangent, something/one called Fall of Kings and recent decent song addition (i.e. the track "Blessed Wings") to the hfhshow library, Resporn, who's new album "Divisionary" is due out April, hopefully in time for their appearance at the Christchurch metal weekend charity gig(s) on the second night- Saturday 9th @ 4.20 (Next to the Rising Sun on K Rd)
Local lads, Resporn, have been working with NZ metal powerhouses; Zorran Mendonsa (New Way Home, Cobra Khan, Subtract, In Dread Response, Solstate, Black River Drive, The Mark Of Man, Set On End, Arc Of Ascent, Bloodletting, Brandon Reihana, Antagonist, Saving Grace, Just One Fix, Sticky Filth, Enercia, Subtract, and many more) and Evan Short (Subtract) on a new album, "Divisionary" due to be released in April.
New song, "Blessed Wings" is up on their facebook etc for streaming, sounds pretty good so you'd better go check it out (try the reverb link for a more direct route to the song)
For those of you with limited internet capabilities (but still manage to read this) or who are too lazy or can't be bothered; Tune into the show next week to hear the new song.
