TADPOLE
There’s a difference between returning and truly coming back. Tadpole aren’t here to relive old glories or trade on nostalgia. They’ve re-emerged with purpose, sounding sharper, heavier and more certain of who they are than ever before.
Formed in Auckland in 1994, Tadpole helped define an era when New Zealand rock was loud, fearless and impossible to ignore. Their breakthrough album The Buddhafinger went triple platinum and became one of the landmark local rock releases of the early 2000s, driven by huge riffs, undeniable hooks and a live energy that connected across the country. Follow-up album The Medusa revealed a darker, more volatile edge before the band stepped away in 2006, leaving behind a catalogue that never really lost its grip.
