DUN Records Present 4EPs Vol 2

Following the monumental success of the debut 4EPs, DUN Records brings together four more of the city’s renowned all-ages scene’s most vital, boundary-pushing alternative acts for a new double-vinyl instalment. Spanning raucous riot-grrrl anthems, introspective lo-fi-folk, songwriter shoegaze, and driving post-punk, 4EPs Vol. 2 is a valuable testament to a music community that holds its physical media close and its independent spirit closer.

4EPs Vol. 2 double-vinyl is available for pre-order from Relics Music.

Every DUN Records EPs release acknowledges with full respect, the powerful lineage and influence of past Dunedin music on the current scene, and for DUN003 ALL pre-orders go into the draw to win a brand new Hotcake Guitar Pedal signed by Die! Die! Die!

Also taking the Festive Season into account, if you are buying 4EPs Vol. 2 for someone for Xmas, you can order (for just $5 more) an Pre-Order Voucher alongside a beautiful A5 print of artwork by Mela of Seek Help!

Deaf Racoon’s Farm EP has quickly become a standout fixture in the city’s thriving, all-ages independent music scene, capturing the raw and unapologetic spirit of modern Ōtepoti youth culture. The quartet is known for constructing immersive horizontal and vertical walls of sound.

Deaf Racoon achieved the rare feat of making it to the National Top 8 of Smokefree Rockquest for two consecutive years. At the 2025 national finals, they showcased their versatility by juxtaposing a brisk, sub-two-minute track about Christmas with a sprawling, six-minute progressive instrumental. They didn’t win that one. Deaf Racoon kicked off 2026 by further cementing their local notoriety with a boundary pushing performance in the Octagon on New Year’s Eve that Dunedin City Councillors complained about for months, quickly followed by the release of their debut single, Burns Like Hell topping SRN charts around NZ.

In addition to fronting Deaf Racoon, vocalist and guitarist Noelle Hill balances her duties as the bassist for the acclaimed Dunedin noise-rock trio Sogg.

Keira Wallace Light Sources EP – Keira Wallace is an award-winning indie-folk singer-songwriter and musician based in Ōtepoti Dunedin. Known for their intimate vocals, intricate acoustic arrangements and quietly affecting songwriting, Keira has become a distinctive voice in the city’s independent music scene.

Critically acclaimed nationwide, a multi award winner already (including the 2024 Play It Strange National Songwriting Competition) Keira’s solo work moves between sparse bedroom folk and lo-fi experimentation. This EP was then taken to the next level when Keira teamed up with the ultimate talent of Adelaide Dunn (Adelaide Cara/Hidden Ocean) to mix the songs. Alongside their solo work, Keira is a founding member of Dolly Possum, an increasingly adventurous Ōtepoti outfit blending folk, country and a healthy dose of distortion. The band featured alongside Bunchy’s Big Score on 2EPs.

Whether performing solo or with Dolly Possum, Keira continues to explore the spaces between delicate folk songwriting and something a little noisier, stranger and harder to pin down.

Seek Help! Nemesis EP – Seek Help! is an explosive four-piece feminist punk and riot grrrl band formed in Ōtepoti / Dunedin, New Zealand. The band has quickly built a formidable reputation. Known for their unapologetic, politically-charged lyricism addressing structural patriarchy, social apathy and f&^king cat-calling.

While still completing Year 13, Seek Help! entered the national spotlight by representing the Otago region at the 2025 Rockquest National Finals. Their visceral live performance earned them 3rd place overall and cemented their status as a rising force in New Zealand’s independent scene.

The band’s debut single, Apex Predator, released in late ‘25, served as a blistering anthem confronting street harassment and misogyny. Following Rolling Stone press coverage, the four-piece received an invitation to open the Foo Fighters early 2027.

In August 2026, the band independently released their scorching debut five-track EP, Ms Representation which debuted at #8 on the official Aotearoa Album Charts.

Seek Help! is a nominee for Best Group at the Aotearoa Alternative Awards.

Talking Furniture Torpedo Anne EP – Talking Furniture is a soaring four – piece alternative rock force. Rooted in the rich sonic heritage of their hometown, the band builds a bridge between raw indie grit and cinematic textures. Together since they were 14 years old, the band has a distinct sound, seamlessly blending elements of post-hardcore, shoegaze, and ambient electronic tones.

Talking Furniture like all of the other artists here, honed their live performances at all-ages community spaces like Pioneer Hall and Yours Ōtepoti, sharing stages with a tight-knit collective of their peers.

Their commanding stage presence and compositional maturity propelled them to the national stage in 2026, a first place in Otago, culminating in a podium finish at the prestigious Rockquest national finals. Third place is the best – you get the gear, kudos, and avoid the tight contract.

It is about time for Talking Furniture to be introduced to new audiences.
