Awesome Feeling

Awesome Feeling III is the result of our staff and contributors trawling the venues and myspaces of New Zealand to find the best of the next generation of New Zealand artists. For the third in our annual series we looked at literally hundreds of artists before settling on these 24, which run the gamut from folk, indie, metal, electronica and pop. The album is available exclusively as a free download for realgroove.co.nz’s registered users.
