Certain Ways is the debut EP from Wellington post-punk band Naked Spots Dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Four-track indie from dense Wellington art combo. ‘Third World’ is hypnotic, while ‘Never’ is tuneless. ‘About But Not Out’ is a flawed attempt to be funky, and “New Meaning’ is a depressed pop song. Take with valium. <\/p>\nRip It Up, Issue 54, 1 January 1982, Page 8<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
