Tokyo Taboo release video for ‘N.A.R.C.I.S.M’!
London duo Tokyo Taboo have released the video for their riotous new single 'N.A.R.C.I.S.M', taken from their forthcoming debut album 6th Street Psychosis, out 25th November 2016 via TT Records.
The video premiered on A Music Blog Yea? and is now available to stream on the Tokyo Taboo YouTube channel.
The audio for 'N.A.R.C.I.S.M' premiered on Louder Than War, and is available to listen to via their Soundcloud page now.
6th Street Psychosis, the new album from Tokyo Taboo, 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 the band's previous single Make It Out Alive is available to watch now via Tokyo Taboo's YouTube channel.
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. You can catch the duo live at the following dates:
25th Nov - Album Launch Show - The Borderline - London
4th Dec - The Black Heart - Camden
6th Street Psychosis is out November 25th 2016 via TT Records.
