Two Independent radio stations (the best radio stations) have now added our new upcoming Single 'Body Blow' to their Playlists which is bloody awesome 🙏 First it was New Plymouth's brilliant The MOST FM 100.4 that took up the opportunity, and now Gisborne's best music station Switch 87.9 FM have come on board as well. ❤️

What they're saying ... 'Columbia' / Cobalt Blue (distrokid) "Cobalt Blue (formerly P U R E) are a psychedelic duo from Auckland, New Zealand, known for their unique blend of original sounds and influences from iconic bands like The Church and Radiohead. In this special release, Cobalt Blue takes on Oasis's classic track "Columbia" with a fresh, bold twist. After hearing the unreleased Sawmills Outtake from 1993, the band felt an undeniable pull to reinterpret this iconic tune. The result? A reimagined version of "Columbia" that delivers powerful, dynamic energy. It kicks ass.
One key element that sets this version apart is the drumming from Steve Laffan. His intricate rhythms and intense energy bring a new depth to the song, making it stand out from Tony McCarroll's original 'run of the mill' tempo, while staying true to the spirit of Oasis". If you’re a fan of sonic landscapes that push boundaries, this is a must-listen. Hit play, and experience a fresh take on a timeless classic from Cobalt Blue.

Changing the band name and updating everything like the website etc was easy, but f*ck me lol trying to get the songs changed for Spotify and Apple Music and dealing with Distrokid, is an absolute fukn pain in the arse. Making cassette tapes and posting them would be easier 🤨 🤣

This music video (Card) for 'Body Blow' has now been removed from Youtube, as the new Single (out Monday Feb 10 on Spotify and Apple Music) has just been tweaked, Mixed and Mastered, and is a much bigger, sonic sounding beast than the version below. A new music video will be shot for the release of the Single.
