The Lord Is My German Shepherd (Time for Walkies) scooped 29th place in the recently announced Rolling Stone (Australia) – The 50 Best New Zealand Albums of 2025. Read below to to find out what Rollong Stone had to say about Ringlets.
“The best album title in this list, yes, and the best of the entire year. But what about the music? “The Auckland-based four-piece deliver a more cohesive and controlled collection than their promising 2023 self-titled debut album. The Lord Is My German Shepherd proves that Ringlets are the most exciting post-punk band to emerge from the New Zealand music scene in years,” we praised in a four-star review earlier this year. Ringlets might not be to everyone’s taste, but they’re very adept at what they do.
