The Vietnam War
The Vietnam War
Round Trip Mars / Universal
Auckland-based five piece The Vietnam War is an incongruous little band. From their name (are they referencing war or peace? Internal conflict? Drug culture? 60s music? Or did they just think it sounded cool?) to the blinking, flower-festooned owl on the cover of their self-titled debut album...

Nicky Minaj
Pink Friday
Universal
Even on Right Thru Me (which appears to be some kind of love song) the phrase “how do you do that shit” is repeated unromantically throughout.

Elsewhere she rhymes “terminator” with “terminate her”, at once displaying poor rhyming skills and a very bad attitude...

Tom Vek
Leisure Seizure
Universal

Battles
Gloss Drop
Border Music
the album occasionally tries too hard, but is mostly as fascinating and shiny as the complimentary poster of pink paint entrails.
