Better get ready to bring out your electric air guitar because rocking Christchurch band, Genzed, have dropped their long-awaited EP, script, and it is as good as the first time I got to see these lads live back in 2022.

In the City was the first track that came up on shuffle (and I apologise for breaking the rules of listening to an EP/album not on shuffle the first time around), that song set the tone as to what you can expect from script. A headshaking, cracking, superb wave of richness from the rock band that, while they are still a little underground, they refuse to be left in the dust. They make the noise and bring their music to the forefront of your mind, hook, line and sinking you into their indulgent energy with pure ease.

Genzed set themselves apart from a majority of the Christchurch music scene, coming straight in with their chosen genre of rock for the script EP, as opposed to what we usually hear, which ultimately helps them to stand out from the crowd.

script has all sorts of components that bring the EP alive. There are levels of seriousness, higher levels of fun (such as Same Shit, Different Day) and each song will change your brain chemistry, smacking you strongly in the face with that much needed hit of dopamine that we all crave.

Genzed throw out their lyrics with a very matter-of-fact vibe that immediately helps them get their point of view across. script blazes through the fields of desire for all of your new listening needs; formulating this gigantic 4-track hidden gem that needs to be broken into pieces and shared with the world.

So, Leave it all Behind and get on board with Genzed where you actually won’t be offered a “you’ll love them or get your time back” because, guaranteed, you’ll be vibing to script for eternity.
