Auckland band Shoddy describe themselves as a foursome of glamorous, gothic, psychedelic punks from the underworld.
It's a wide range of genres but it makes sense when listening to their new single Hiding Like Hades from the album Someday We'll Fix It released this week.
Their sound does indeed incorporate all of the above descriptions with a heavy bass sound, psychedelic guitar and lots of interesting fills from drummer Thomas Pembroke and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Pickstone.
Pickstone plays saxophone, harmonica, percussion and an iPhone as well as providing backing vocals.
The songs, he says, are mostly written by guitarist Witchy Dugdale and the rest of the band add their own personal interpretations.
