No Reply are a Tauranga Moana (New Zealand) based indie-dub band playing sun soaked music made for long summer days. The sound blends tight grooves, laid back rhythms, bright horn lines, and infectious energy that feels unmistakably Kiwi. It is relaxed, warm, and easy to move to. Inspired by Fat Freddy’s Drop, Jack Johnson, Sublime and Kora, No Reply bring the head nod and the skank dance to your gathering.

The name No Reply is in reference to the band’s Whats App group, and the fact they can see people have read the message but….

Recent highlights include opening for Midwave Breaks in their hometown show, headlining Vegan Vibes festival, Fringe Festival, various local shows and playing at One Arena for Festival One. Their music has been played on Air New Zealand flights, local advertisements, podcasts, and various commercial and non-commercial radio stations (internationally and domestically).

No Reply’s music is an infectious blend of catchy melodies and irresistible rhythms that compel listeners to bop their heads along. Influenced by the harmonies of the Beach Boys, the rock vibes of Weezer, and the solid hip hop grooves of the 90’s, the horn lines tip their hats to the Wellington dub and roots scene. They create a sound that is simultaneously familiar and refreshingly unique.” – Sam Cummins (Tauranga Music Critic)
