They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4
Active compensatory factors: Kitsch are a band who originated in New Plymouth (there was a thriving punk scene there back in the day) and been based in Auckland since then (yes, they appear to be still going strong). Auckland is NZ's London as far as music scenes go, although tiny in comparison.

Kitsch take their inspiration from bands like Offspring, Blink 182, and (especially) Green Day.
The Burning Ground is full of Green Day-esque pop punk which translates to layered guitars, melodic bass lines, driving drums, sneery vocals and great choruses.
Where do they all belong? A nice side street off the boulevard of NZ pop dreams.
