INTO THE EAST ALBUM REVIEWED BY NO DEPRESSION

Southland duo Into The East released their debut album 'Fight From The Inside' in 2013. Receiving rave reviews, the album was also a finalist for 2014 Folk album of the year and cemented the duo in New Zealand's country/folk music landscape.

On the eve of the release of their sophomore album, acclaimed Americana music website No Depression has discovered Into The East and published a glowing extensive review of 'Fight From The Inside'.

Reviewer John Apice compliments the duo stating:

"I like that someone from New Zealand can effectively remind an American how great music from the Midwest 50’s really was and still is in the hands of accomplished musicians like this."
