'Taping the Radio' is packed with sing a long anthem, commanding melodies and themes drawn from Steriograms twelve year career. A journey which has seen the Grammy Nominated band play thousands of shows across many countries, and in the process sell hundreds of thousands of records worldwide.
The purpose of this blog is to expose you to the unique and unrepeatable New Zealand scene known as "Dunedin Sound" that emerged in New Zealand in the early eighties. This space takes over from wonderful blogs that in their time served to make known to the world some of the most significant bands and records of that period. The present collection is dedicated to all those kiwi bands -many of them already forgotten- who, without knowing it, wrote a very important page in the history of music.

Steriogram - This Is Not the Target Market (2006)
2006 album from the New Zealanders, their first album since leaving the comforts of Capitol. The album is an excellent mix of Alternative Rock that has been very well received so far, shifting thousands of units in Japan and NZ in the first month of release.
Steriogram - Schmack! (2004)
New Zealand's smartass retort to Sum 41, Steriogram honed its hodgepodge of heavy metal chuggery, white-boy hip-hop, and outsized funk tomfoolery around its hometown of Auckland before hitting international pay dirt in 2004 with the low-culture anthem "White Trash." The song dated from 2001, when its video clip -- featuring the exuberant rapping of Steriogram drummer Tyson Kennedy -- caused a stir in NZ. A previous single had already gained Steriogram some notice, but the response to "White Trash" spurred the band's decision to install Kennedy as full-time MC/frontman and incorporate a greater hip-hop influence into its already lively clang. Kennedy, guitarist/vocalist Brad Carter, bassist Jake Adams, and guitarist Tim Youngson asked drummer pal Jared Wrennall to join the crew, and parlayed the single's buzz into some higher-profile gigs. Capitol noticed, and signed Steriogram in late 2002. David Kahne (Sublime, Sugar Ray) was tapped to produce the resulting recording sessions, and when the Schmack! LP appeared domestically in May 2004, it boasted a huge, radio-friendly sound and loads of loopy humor.
