“If you thought HDU were capable of wreaking sonic destruction, this trio will leave you gasping” – Real Groove, April 2009

When a new Dunedin three piece made their live debut near the end of 2008, one thing was obvious – for Tristan Dingemans, front man of the formidable band HDU,
lightening had struck twice. This was no former glory with backing band situation; this was a band, which was instantly capable of creating its own moments of pure
transcendency. In short, Dingemans has an excellent shit filter, and proved he wasn’t gonna step out until he had something great. And ladies and gentleman, with
Chris Livingston (drums) and Anaru Ngata (bass and guitar), that is Mountaineater.

Few bands manage to take the intangibility of experiencing a natural landscape and transform it into sound, but those that do are absolutely momentous. Yes, with
this brooding and heavy mix of sonic landscapes and visceral, bludgeoning rock, you can’t ignore the pedigree. Yet Mountaineater is a further step down the path
of tension filled catharsis, as immediately inviting as they are unrelenting.

This is the next great Dunedin band you've been waiting for. Prepare to have your face melted.

They have finally added a song on myspace, and it's very cool! Reminds me of noiserock stuff like Helmet or Unsane or Players's club. It also reminds me a little of nz's Dying of the Light, Rangi, check it out if you don't already know them.

Cheers for the heads up. Sounds a little bit like a cross between The Gordons and Looking Glass to me.

would agree with the unsane attitude even, first part in that review worx then falls into wank, give it time eh, it's as though all you have to do is be in one good band and your feet are not clay.

but maaan can those southerners write pop songs that go all the way up to 11, ever1 else seems to find it so hard, as though they want to be heard, good!
