Radio One 91FM

Hello and happy December, rockers. Today I talked about some of my favourite NZ releases and gigs I've been to this year! 

I've played a healthy dose of Filipino (and in general Southeast Asian) hc/punk/emo on the show but I kept it mostly NZ today due to time. And there's been so much great music coming out of Ōtepoti and Aotearoa this year, an hour is definitely not enough to talk about it all.

Thanks to all who have tuned in to the ethanoodlesoup show in the past few months. Will be resuming in January!

Today's show was a Filipino hardcore/punk/emo special - I felt inspired after seeing the huge anti-corruption protests in the Philippines and knew I had to spotlight some Pilipinas HC and alternative. 

I did a deep-dive on Bandcamp and uniteasia.org etc and found soooo many sick bands I'd never heard of before - all their links will be down below!. Also shoutout to Liam (another R1 volunteer) who came in halfway through the show to recommend me an awesome Filipino folk punk song which was awesome (and relevant), so thanks Liam!

• 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.

Most of these tracks I’ve only listened to once while i was putting together this playlist, but I think it neatly shows how wide the ‘emo’ umbrella really goes.
