And Freak Magnet are on a mission to find it!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Freak Magnet is a garage-punk two-piece band formed at Turret House in Wellington, New Zealand, featuring Sarsha Leigh-Douglas on drums, bass and vocals and Vanya Vitali on guitar and vocals. Both members are deeply rooted in the Wellington and Dunedin punk scenes, with Sarsha\u2019s history including bands like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2022\/06\/shortlived\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"452\">Shortlived<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/06\/fantails\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"237\">Fantails<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2024\/06\/rogernomix\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"425\">Rogernomix<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/03\/cult-of-the-cobra\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"179\">Cult Of The Cobra<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2022\/06\/shock-futuro\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"446\">Shock Futuro<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/03\/natural-glow\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"353\">Natural Glow<\/a><\/strong>, while Vanya played in Dunedin acts <strong>Ritalin, Skaface Claw<\/strong>, and <strong>Blistering Tongues<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;autoclose&quot;: false, &quot;accordionItems&quot;: [] }\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/accordion\" role=\"group\" class=\"wp-block-accordion is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-1&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" id=\"accordion-item-1\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">Read more<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-1\" data-wp-bind--hidden=\"state.isHidden\" data-wp-on--beforematch=\"actions.handleBeforeMatch\" id=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">The band kicked off with a gig at <strong>Opportunity for Animals<\/strong> in Kilbirnie in April 2012. That August, they released their debut EP, <em>Eurotrash<\/em>, a five-song burst of grunge-punk energy reminiscent of <strong>Dead Moon<\/strong>, coinciding with a European tour alongside Dunedin\u2019s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/freddyfuddpucker.bandcamp.com\/\">Freddy Fudd Pucker<\/a><\/strong>. The tour, documented in Sarsha\u2019s tour diary in <em><strong>Mind Lint<\/strong><\/em> issue 7, started with a first show at the <strong>Ramones Museum<\/strong> in Berlin. Back in New Zealand, they played <strong>Punkfest 2012<\/strong> in Christchurch, where Sarsha also performed with <strong>Rogernomix<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Freak Magnet became a staple in Wellington\u2019s punk scene, sharing stages with bands like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/03\/awkward-death\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"70\">Awkward Death<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/04\/the-dilfs\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"525\">The Dilfs<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2022\/06\/starving-millions\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"482\">Starving Millions<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/06\/fantails\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"237\">Fantails<\/a><\/strong>, and <strong>Rogernomix<\/strong>. Known for their support of animal welfare and social justice causes, they often played benefit gigs. In May 2015, they released their second self-titled EP with a launch show at <strong>Death Ray Records<\/strong> in Newtown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">In 2018, Sarsha and Vanya began jamming with Tony Pearson (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2022\/06\/meth-drinker\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"325\">Meth Drinker<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2022\/06\/influence\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"305\">Influence<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2022\/06\/scab\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"428\">Scab<\/a><\/strong>), forming the sludge trio <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2022\/06\/unruly\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"582\">Unruly<\/a><\/strong> in 2019.
