• Out of Luck! (Dn/Chch) - MY HEAD HURTS

 

Hello! I made a post on Instagram asking for NZ emo (and adjacent) recommendations; had over a dozen responses (thanks!) of super cool stuff that I hadn’t heard. 

 

Today’s show will mostly be the recommendations people sent through, and my own personal picks at the end if we have time.
