"The Review" controversy
In 2010, amateur music blogger Simon Sweetman hit out at Autozamm in a blog post on NZ On Air music funding, describing the group "terrible" and saying "they certainly do little to reflect any distinctly New Zealand culture." In response to this, Autozamm released the single "The Review" in 2012, which hit out at Sweetman and other critics.
