Tokyo Taboo share new video for ‘Papercut’!
"... a frenetic, tongue-in-cheek ride
through a wall of solid pop-punk."
- Atwood Magazine
"refusing to bow down, the band are fighting against the patriarchy one fuzz pop belter at a time..." - Team Rock
London duo Tokyo Taboo return with news of an upcoming UK tour supporting J-Rockers Espirit D’air and a brand new single, Papercut, out 2nd February 2018 via TT Records.
The video for Papercut premiered on Atwood Magazine and you can watch it now via Tokyo Taboo's YouTube channel.
Papercut races with frenzied riffs alongside front woman Dolly Daggerz’ trademark powerful vocals, creating a seething slice of punk-pop, with shades of the likes of American duo Deap Vally.
Accompanying Papercut is a tongue-in-cheek video depicting a group of apathetic 20-somethings participating in an experiment run by evil scientists. Of the video, director Gabriel Ralls explains: “... (it’s) about how we view and treat Millennials in the Instagram Age; but similarly how we fuck ourselves over as we often know better. Like the scientists in the video, the warnings signs are all around us."
Having received support from Radio X, Team Rock, Clash and Punktastic - to name a few - it is with their live performances that Tokyo Taboo really shine. As Dolly spits and snarls each lyric over guitarist Mike’s raucous riffs, they deliver each of their sets with an electrifying energy and ferocious power, resulting in a completely engaging and utterly unforgettable experience.
Make sure you catch Tokyo Taboo live on their run of dates with Esprit D’air next month:
6th February 2018 - Buffalo Bar, Cardiff
7th February 2018 - Mama Roux’s, Birmingham
8th February 2018 - Aatma, Manchester
9th February 2018 - Jumpin’ Jacks, Newcastle
10th February 2018 - The Attic, Aberdeen
11th February 2018 - Audio, Glasgow
Papercut is out 2nd February 2018 via TT Records.
Tokyo Taboo release debut album ‘6th Street Psychosis’!
"Refusing to bow down, the band are fighting against the patriarchy one fuzz pop belter at a time..." - Clash
"A visceral collection of unapologetic pop-punk..." - Team Rock
London duo Tokyo Taboo’s debut album 6th Street Psychosis is out now via TT Records and available to buy and stream via iTunes and Spotify. The album features ten tenacious, in-your-face tracks that combine the band’s rock and pop punk influences.
The duo comprise of singer Dolly Daggerz and guitarist Mike, who are joined by a band for their live shows. Dolly takes inspiration from iconic performers from Heart to David Bowie and Karen O and Mike simply loves a good riff. Tokyo Taboo is a perfect amalgamation of Dolly and Mike’s influences; inspired by Manga, Japanese culture, drag and 80s fashion, they are true performers, with an image that equals the intense vibrancy of what you hear on record.
The video for Tokyo Taboo's recent single Pussy Power is available now on YouTube.
Featuring hectic, heart-pounding hooks and soaring rock-inspired vocals, Tokyo Taboo cover a range of subjects on the album, which was recorded in Downtown LA. From Dolly’s quarter life crisis to politics and vulnerability, they aren’t afraid of smashing the expectations of ‘the industry’ whilst wearing their hearts on their sleeves - cuts, bruises, tears and all.
On the album, ’Bubbilicious’ is a racing, high-octane opener, whilst ‘Emotional Suicide’ is filled with an uptempo, feisty power and ‘N.A.R.C.I.S.M’ oozes brutal honesty, raw riffs and dark undertones. Meanwhile, single Make It Out Alive was inspired by the vote to bomb Syria and the feeling of frustration, hopelessness and anger Dolly felt, which seethe through the music as she spits and snarls each lyric over Mike’s raucous riffs.
Make It Out Alive gained support from the likes of Radio X and BBC Radio 1 and with 6th Street Psychosis out soon, Tokyo Taboo hope to bring their own brand of modern pop punk kicking and screaming into the public consciousness.
6th Street Psychosis is out now via TT Records and available to buy and stream via iTunes and Spotify.
Tokyo Taboo release new video for ‘Pussy Power’!

Following the release of the incredible and hard-hitting Pussy Power, London duo Tokyo Taboo
have now shared a powerful new video for the single to celebrate International Women's Day. The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming debut album 6th Street Psychosis, released 24th March 2017 via TT Records.
The video premiered on Punktastic and you can watch it now via the band's YouTube Channel .
You can also listen to Pussy Power via the band's Soundcloud page now.
“I wrote this ages ago when listening to 'Just A Girl' by No Doubt. Pussy Power actually starts with the line 'Just a girl / Just
a slut..' The idea of being 'just' something that no one takes seriously is very much how I feel as a female.” Filled with the duo’s trademark high octane power, riotous riffs and the impassioned ferocity of front woman Dolly’s vocals, Pussy Power is just what we need right now. Voicing the fist-clenching rage so many of us currently feel, it’s more than just a fantastic tune, it’s an essential, motivating call to arms.
The politically charged Pussy Power explodes with a raucous aggression and racing ferocity, blasting out its message with impassioned aggression. Voicing Dolly’s frustration about the fact that women are often seen as less important than men, the track races with a spectacular tenacious urgency and fist-clenching power.
