Miss Fortunes Album Review 1

I’m a 90’s kid and I gotta say I’m really feeling it, a strong 90’s alt vibe, Seattle and beyond with some kiwi flavor, It’s taking me on a magic carpet ride reminiscing back to a place where Dubstep does not exist and Nicky Minaj is not somehow making money in the music industry. I know at some point I will have to come back to reality where these things exist but for now I’m enjoying it while I got it.

For me Mikejoffa is the missing link, and not in an underdeveloped species kinda way, hipsters have already claimed that, I mean this is that middle ground that has been missing from rock music for so long. It’s not so heavy it becomes hard rock, it’s not soft, dense or contrived enough to become indie, it’s grungy kiwi alt rock and it’s got itself a permanent place on my playlist.

The vocals are ballsy, not like the pop vocals you hear in most of the “rock” music being played on the radio these days, hell the guitars have balls, the bass has balls, even the drums have balls, it’s like a big ol’ pair of testicles playing rock music.

There’s a bit of everything on here too, you can chill out with tracks like Good Buy, or rock out with one of the heavier tracks like Wasteage, both personal favorites of mine off this album, there really is a bit of something for everyone.

I highly recommend you get a copy of this, you NEED to get a copy of this, it’s essential kiwi listening- trust me, I’m on a magic carpet.
