Kick Out The Jams: Roidz

9:06 am on 4 September 2015

Interviews and live sets from the New Zealand music underground. This week, we catch Auckland band Roidz.

 

Roidz are four lads from Auckland who believe sharing their emotions with an audience is the best way towards achieving some good old fashioned catharsis.

After finding himself down in the dumps over a recent relationship breakup, lead singer Daniel Smith penned Break-Up Songs Vol. 1, six songs of emo heartbreak that prove the adage "better out than in”.

When we caught up with Roidz in Wellington when they were three days into their first North Island “Lads on the Raz” tour, playing everywhere from Tauranga to Palmerston North.
