NZ Rock Band - Shihad

Independent Music NZ (IMNZ), alongside Founding Partner, Recorded Music NZ, is proud to announce the 10 finalists for the Taite Music Prize 2025.


Legendary New Zealand rock band Shihad will be honored with the Best Classic Record Award at this year's Taite Music Prize. Independent Music New Zealand (IMNZ) will recognize their second album, Killjoy, which made a major impact in 1995 with its powerful riffs and pop appeal that became the band's signature sound.


Killjoy produced two top 20 singles, "You Again" and "Bitter," and won four Aotearoa Music Awards (AMAs), including Album of the Year. This success marked the beginning of a streak that saw the band win 18 AMAs throughout their career and earn an induction into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame in 2010.
