Somebody Do Something & Pyrrhic

SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING shot into the Christchurch music scene in 2020, and have since paved a way for themselves across the motu with their unique set up and genre-bending live shows. They draw on the bands backgrounds of classical, metal, jazz and pop to create the SDS soundworld of soul-fuelled, funky alt-rock and R&B.

Leading the group with delicious husky vocals is Marlee Spear, hailing from Portland Oregon. The band weaves together violin, sax, spine-tingling harmonies and lush liquid grooves to create a truly singular musical experience.

Since their first EP in 2020, the band have released their debut album, ‘As Rome Burns’, and live-tracked EP ‘Archives’ created at the iconic kiwi establishment, The Mussel Inn, north of Takaka. After 9 months of performing in festival line ups including GO LIVE, Ōtautahi Smoke, Rolling Meadows, and AUM; the group is stoked to be in a composing and recording phase for a fresh release in October 2024.

“This is the closest we will get to 21st Century sophisti-pop…this compact EP is an impressive debut from Somebody Do Something and shows plenty of glimpses of the sound they have been perfecting on stage…this EP represents an admirable take-off point for an exciting collective of musicians…an absolute banger of a song” – Sam Smith (NZ Musician)
