If a band are compared to The Jesus And Mary Chain, I will ALWAYS find it in myself to love them. Even if they are obviously toss, I will still love them a bit just because they sound like my absolute heroes.

Tashaki Miyaki have been compared to The Jesus And Mary Chain, now- as someone who is obviously obsessed with The Jesus And Mary Chain; I really cannot hear it. Maybe I’m getting old and my hearing is a bit fucked. But, I honestly can’t hear it. This doesn’t mean I do not love Tashaki Miyaki. I bloody love them. They remind me of Dum Dum Girls and Best Coast- two bands that I adore a hell of a lot.

They have a distorted, surfer-pop feel to their music. A sound which I am really fond of.

So basically, they do not sound like The Jesus And Mary Chain (I can see why people have made the comparison, but really, it’s lazy journalism.) If you love bands such as Novella, Dum Dum Girls, Widowspeak- you’ll probably love Tashaki Miyaki. Even if you don’t like any of the bands I mentioned; you should probably love Tashaki Miyaki anyway.

You can get their debut EP from here : http://thesoundsofsweetnothing.bandcamp.com/album/tashaki-miyaki-ep

Enjoy!
