The latest album from Wellington (New Zealand – not Australian) band, Shihad titled as “Beautiful Machine” is a much more Shihady album than their previous “Love is the New Hate”. It’s excellent. By far the best NZ music I’ve heard in a long time.

Having purchasing it from smokecds.com, getting a kind parent to rip it then email it over to Londontown (as it was gunna cost £22 from amazomg) – it has brought many hours of listen pleasure already. Listened to it on the way to work this morning, during work and prolly on the way home too.

I’d love to share their new tracks here, but they’re not yet into the new way of music distribution yet (a-la-trent reznor) so you’re just gunna have to miss out or buy it (also not available on iTunes).

Toogood, can i host some 30sec samples?
