Kind of reminds me of a more radio friendly Tool. They are quite good and I had to listen to a New Zealand radio station to have heard of them.
Chevelle's been around since the late 90s. They used to get a lot of play on local radio here in MA. I've been a fan of theirs for a long time.
I know it's not New Zealand, but you bringing up NZ and discovering music reminded me of a band from Australia that I came across randomly on Pandora a few years back. I wish they'd tour the U.S.It’s interesting what radios play. Western Canadian stations lost my interest long ago and I started listening to Seattle stations. They are good to a point but of course they love their Seattle grunge. I bought Sonos speakers a while back and using their worldwide radio access, eventually settled on an Auckland station that introduced me to a varied and different music. Some American that I have never heard before. I like my heavy Rock.
