Artists
Restoration
Style: Hip-hop
Location: Christchurch, NZ
The music of Restoration is a soulful blend of urban hip-hop and R&B, merging acoustic harmonies, rap and beats. Their music is dedicated to those who have no hope. It’s brilliant to have them back to Samstock for the third time…. can’t wait to have you team!
Esther Melody BandStyle: Pop/Rock
Location: Wellington, NZ
A genuine vocal sensation – embodied in a unique Esther Melody mix of the beautiful and the beastie, with a matching world class band! Judged: best band, best vocals and 3rd in song writing at the American Gospel Music Association’s Immerse event 2010 in Nashville. Uniting a generation in song.
Black Boy Peaches
Style: Alternative rock
Location: Dunedin, NZ
High-energy vocals, heavy synth melodies, epic drum rhythms. Think Foo Fighters, Muse and The Killers, and you’ll start to get the picture. BBP are amped about Samstock, and can’t wait to be a part of the weekend that is like no other!
The Falconets
Style: Indie Rock
Location: Dunedin, NZ
The punch of a 15th century Royal ship. The subtlety of a blunderbuss at point blank range. The sleight of hand to put Houdini in a jealous rage. Bound by oath to deliver music for your enjoyment, The Falconets’ catchy tunes and fun-times show is gonna see Samstock indie-rockin’ out!
Settler
Style: Rock 
Location: Dunedin, NZ
Music that will appeal to a myriad of tastes. From straight-up rock to swelling soundscapes; heavy winter flavours at one end, light and tasty acoustic goodness at the other. Excuse the food metaphors, and come and taste the hot-pot that is Settler!
Talia
Style: Folk / Pop 
Location: Dunedin, NZ
Inspired by the new folk music movement, Talia writes and performs accoustic music for the new generation. Her distinctive voice and evocative melodies are perfectly complimented by a full accoustic band (including former members of Native). Come to Samstock 2011 to see a rising star with a powerful new sound perform for her first time on the big stage!
