Free Fall Rock was formed in 2014 and morphed into a four piece rock band consisting of Tana Tapri (lead vocals) Afzer Zameer(drums) Keith McGlade (bass) and Stefan Doll (guitar).

Each of the band members are looking back on years of successfully playing rock music in New Zealand and overseas. In 2016 Tana Tapri and Keith joined Free Fall Rock, replacing Andrew Hight on the lead vocals and bass. 

Tana brings her raspy rock voice and award winning Tapri songs. Together with Keith's hot bass they complement what Free Fall stands for: raw emotions, energy and life performances that takes the crowd on a ride.

RIPPING GUITAR...MASSIVE RHYTHM SECTION...POWERFUL VOCALS...EPIC ROCK AT IT'S BEST!!!

8 Steps to Madness are a New Zealand based band formed in 2012 by Peter Lewis (Jury, Bad Habits, Blue Vision) on vocals and Peter Hughes (Jury, Bad Habits) on guitar.  They decided it was time to push themselves out of their comfort zone and do what they’d always wanted to do….get their own material out of their jam room and into the public domain.     

So they started working....the name of the band came from the place where they created their music - the band room!  It was exactly 8 steps from the back door to the studio door - and with each step the guys would shed a bit of the daily dust and embrace the madness within to unleash the creativity and the magic.   

Devilskin invited 8 Steps to Madness to play support for them at three dates on their 2014 We Rise NZ Tour.  This was the kick-start they needed and more gigs, more songs, and more recordings followed, including support gigs with NZ Rock Royalty Knightshade, and a 4 song EP released in 2014.   

2014 also saw them settle on their line-up - a 4 piece of talented and experienced musicians.   Ross Porter (ex-Chuganaut) playing bass, and Luke Elliot (Pennydrop) on drums.   The combined effect is phenomenal - this line up sounds tight and loud - the rock hits you in the gut where it's supposed to, the vocals are strong and clear with lyrics that you catch yourself singing over and over - long after the gig is finished.

The band's music is fundamentally guitar-based rock.   They bring together various influences into their sound, with that smooth-yet-rough rock voice,  epic guitar riffs, and a massive kick-ass rhythm section - all superb musicians.  Their songs are diverse - from soulful ballads to roaring party-hard rock....they'll calm you down, and they'll rile you up.  It's NZ rock at it's best - they do what they do because they love it - their buzz is to play live, they feed off the crowd and always give 110% - this comes through in their performance, and their audiences love them!

Do yourself a favour ...Buy, stream, beg, borrow their music - listen to these guys or miss out on something special.  And if you ever get a chance to see them live - do it!  Their obvious love of playing live shines through - and you'll finish the night the better for it.
