11/2/24.
Thanks to Ian Henderson (Fishrider Records, Pop Lib blog) for posting about this lost/found gem of New Zealand rock. Springloader were part of the 1990s era of New Zealand music. Listening to the 4 songs on "Just Like Yesterday" it's really impossible to not hear the 1990s. Teenage Fanclub (listen to that guitar on "Just Like Yesterday"), Stone Roses, Ride came to mind for me.
Ian added some bands I need to familiarize myself with - most notably The Someloves. He also mentioned The Springfields.
This was recorded in the 1990s and now is seeing the light of day thanks to Failsafe Records (Christchurch, New Zealand). This label has been around since the early 1980s - they released the excellent Mainly Spaniards CD a few years back.
