\n\tAUCKLAND, New Zealand \u2014 Winspear has landed its first signing from Aotearoa\/New Zealand, Awning.<\/p>\n

\n\tHailing from the country\u2019s most populated city, T\u0101maki Makaurau\/Auckland, the alternative rock act celebrates its deal with the release of a new single, \u201cLittle Green Book.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFormed in 2023 by frontman Christian Dimick with Riley Noonan (drums), Damin McCabe (bass) and guitarists Ethan Broughtan and Eli Chamberlain, Awning have a growing reputation as a live outfit.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe five-piece dropped a self-titled EP in 2025 and has played dates in Australia with Twine, supported North Carolina group Wednesday, and most recently showcased at NZ\u2019s Going Global Festival.<\/p>\n

    \n\t\u201cLittle Green Book\u201d is \u201cabout grief, gritty stuff that feels almost too much to put into song format,\u201d explains Dimick. The single was recorded at Neil Finn\u2019s Roundhead Studios in Auckland, was produced by De Sevens<\/strong> (Womb, Office Dog, School Fair), and is accompanied with an official music video shot by Damin McCabe.<\/strong> Watch below.<\/p>\n

    \n\tAwning is Los Angeles-based Winspear\u2019s second signing from the region after Adelaide\u2019s Swapmeet, joining labelmates Winter, Teethe and others.<\/p>\n

    \n\t\u201cWe are beyond thrilled to welcome Awning to the Winspear roster, our first signing from New Zealand, and our second international artist following Swapmeet earlier this year,\u201d Swapmeet founder Jared Jones<\/strong> remarks. \u201cWhen I first heard Awning\u2019s music, what struck me was their ability to convey deeply felt emotions so succinctly. \u2018Little Green Book\u2019 is a perfect encapsulation of this. I can\u2019t get that chorus out of my skull.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n\tOn signing the new label deal, Dimick and his bandmates say: \u201cComing from Aotearoa it feels like a dream to have someone from the U.S. supporting us and they are an incredible team of people. I have loved teethe and Slow Pulp for years so I am at a loss for words to explain how exciting this all feels. It is an honor to jump on their roster.\u201d<\/p>\n
