Some of them are old. Some of them are new. Some of them come from the other side of the world, while others were made right here in New Zealand.

They can be big, small, modern, progressive, alternative or sometimes just plain embarrassing.

We’ve all got a favourite band, and tonight John Campbell puts the spotlight on his - The Pains of Being Pure At Heart

John listens to music every day, and says he has “since I first realised how happy it made me, over 30 years ago”.

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart played the Auckland Laneway Festival on Monday.

What a great story. Never even heard of the band, but I sure know the feelings John's describing. For me it's Green Day. But my Dad's going to Yes soon and I reckon he feels the same way.

When it comes to your favourite music, there are no wrong answers. Johns C's fav band would be a long way down on my own list, but I did detect strains of Blink 182 combined with what I would describe as the early Flying Nun sound.
