Angelo Munro, Milan Borich, Matthew Berry, Grant Sowerby and Jon Ropiha make up Erase Everything, a band with members based in Tāmaki Makaurau & Ōtepoti.

Featuring seasoned players from Pluto, Bleeders, Shitripper, Fever Lake & Crap Date, Erase Everything explore the edges of modern rock by underpinning atmosphere with hardcore sensibilities.

Erase Everything have shared the Twin Peaks inspired ‘Shadows,’ the final track taken from their blistering Glass Souls EP. To celebrate the band are hitting the road to performing thorughout October, November and December at Threes & Sevens (Invercargill w. SU:N and Theorem), Pearl Diver (Dunedin w. U-No Juno and Bunchy’s Big Score), Big Fan (Auckland with Roy Irwin Band, Cindy, Young Baptist and Crying Ivy) and Valhalla (Wellington – Gathering Of Shadows) – tickets are available from Undertheradar.co.nz.

Glass Souls, the new EP from Erase Everything, meditates on themes of existence, desire, and disconnection. Walls of overdriven guitars are soaked in delay, while howled vocals are underpinned by a relentless rhythm section. With standout tracks like ‘Keajra’ and ‘New Year New Idea’, Erase Everything shifts between restraint and chaos, weaving in nods to Twin Peaks, spiritualism and death. Recorded by Milon Williams (Cobra Kahn) and mastered by Primal Mastering, it’s a release that captures both the beauty and brutality of emotional weight.

Inspiration for the anthemic final track ‘Shadows’ came from noise rock and VHS tapes. “It’s a commentary on 1990’s AV. It started with a Twin Peaks marathon and ended with Helmet,’” quips guitarist Grant Sowerby. “I have a bit of an obsession for Twin Peaks,” jokes singer Angelo Munro. “When I heard Shadows it evoked an intention to speak to a dark romance. It’s loosely based on the tension between Dale Cooper and Audrey Horne, and it being somewhat taboo or inappropriate. ‘Lying in the shadows’ is like saying they can’t have what they both desire.”

As the year draws to a close Munro reflects “For Erase Everything 2025 was about pulling our finger out, recording and playing outside of Tāmaki Makaurau. It’s nice to get it out there, give people a taste and hopefully have them wanting more so we can unleash a full length record next year. We’re thrilled to have the EP out and can’t wait to do it all again in 2026.”

Fans can catch Erase Everything live when the band perform the EP live at Threes & Sevens (31 Oct – Invercargill w. SU:N and Theorem), Pearl Diver (1 Nov – Dunedin w. U-No Juno and Bunchy’s Big Score), Big Fan (13/12 – Auckland with Roy Irwin Band, Cindy, Young Baptist and Crying Ivy) and Valhalla (16/1 – Wellington at Gathering Shadows) – tickets are available from Undertheradar.co.nz.
