Artist-run independent label Rothko Records presents the inaugural Tāmaki Makaurau ALTFEST, an 11-band gathering taking place at Morningside’s Big Fan on Saturday, 5 December. Co-curated alongside local scene legend Angelo Munro (Bleeders, Erase Everything), the all-ages and licensed event bridges Auckland’s emergent young alternative circuit with stalwarts of Aotearoa’s heavy and post-punk underground.

ALTFEST celebrates tenured artists and provides a platform for the next generation with a near-even split between senior and youth acts alongside touring guests from Wellington and Tauranga. Running continuously across eight hours, the festival showcases a spectrum of alternative adjacent genres: from shoegaze and post-punk, to sludge and prog.

Framing the bill’s two creative generations are co-headliners Swallow the Rat and Back to the Hillside. Seasoned post-punk outfit Swallow the Rat bring their dense, propulsive blend of prickly rhythm and psychedelic fuzz, honed across extensive US and European tours and supports for the likes of Sebadoh, Gang of Four, and Quicksand. Self-produced grungegaze torchbearers, Back to the Hillside, showcase their crushing wall of distortion and lush vocals as vanguards of the city’s underground youth circuit.

The veteran contingent of musicians features hardcore-infused alt-rock group Erase Everything (members of Bleeders, Shitripper, and Fever Lake), cinematic post-metal trio Sunwraith (ex-Decortica), monolithic doom act Demons of Noon, chorus-soaked heavy-hitters Nailfile, and visiting Tauranga hardcore agitators Threat.Meet.Protocol.

Representing the next wave alongside Back to the Hillside are fast-rising post-metal trio Exit Sign, Pōneke shoegaze/Midwest-emo outfit King Hit, and vital alt up-and-comers Chlorine and Somniium.

Supports are locked in for Deafheaven + Nothing's return to NZ this July, in Wellington and Auckland!

In Wellington, they're joined by Libbianski, a local three-piece dragging shoegaze through doom and post-metal, all wall-of-sound guitar and quiet-loud dynamics. In Auckland, Erase Everything step up: a five-piece of Tāmaki Makaurau and Ōtepoti scene vets (ex-Pluto, Bleeders, Shitripper) running howled vocals through overdriven, atmospheric riffage.

THURSDAY 02 JULY: SAN FRAN, WELLINGTON (Tix running low, 40 left)
FRIDAY 03 JULY: POWERSTATION, AUCKLAND

Tickets via banished 🪐

Erase Everything kick off 2026 with ‘New Year New Idea (Spiritual Slum Remix) ahead of appearances at Gathering Shadows (this Friday at Valhalla, Te Whanganui-a-Tara) and Sunreturn’s annual Beach Party (January 31st, Bethells Beach Cafe, Te Henga) - tickets are available from Undertheradar. 

While New Year New Idea was a standout on the Glass Souls EP for its quieter tones and hushed vocals, the New Year New Idea (Spiritual Slum Remix) turns that on its head. Paul Bond, who helms the Melbourne darkwave act Spiritual Slum, has reconstituted the original by using motorik electronic drums, bubbling bass and delayed synthesis.

“We love Spiritual Slum and have been friends with Paul for over 20 years,” notes Angelo. “We didn’t give him any instructions for the remix, the trust was there.”

“When I first heard the original I was blown away by how beautiful it was,” recalls Paul. “From start to finish it’s a really great song with powerful lyrics and great structure.”

“The chorus for me was the part I wanted to pay homage to with the haunting backing vocals. I also loved the swirling guitars which I wanted to keep. Then I used Elektron gear for the beat and the classic Roland Alpha Juno and Ensoniq ESQ (my usual go to’s) for everything else. Once I got the master back from the brilliant @morgherita (Acopia) I was stoked on how it sounded. I’m honoured that the EE lads gave me the opportunity to be a part of the track’s history.”

Hearing the finished version, Angelo says the band was floored. “Paul really took it to a new place, this version and it blew our minds.”

Our debut ep “Glass souls” has been out a week now. I can’t help but reflect on the title track and who this was about. The ep is about struggle and pain and loss and hope.. But unfortunately for my friends there isn’t a great deal of hope. I hope…… through this song, @roxofficialstore fashion and his amazing true friends that his legacy will live on #stopbullyingnow taken in Auckland, New Zealand by @eraseeverythingofficial
