"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."{{cite web|last=Sweetman|first=Simon|title=Architecture dancing|url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/blogs/blog-on-the-tracks/7063677/Architecture-dancing|publisher=Stuff|accessdate=7 April 2013}} In response to this, Autozamm released the single "The Review" in 2012, which hit out at Sweetman and other critics.{{cite web|title=Autozamm Interview 19/05/2012|url=https://www.muzic.net.nz/articles/interviews/46963/autozamm-interview-19052012|publisher=Muzic.net.nz|accessdate=7 April 2013}}
