Takomaha is the band you wish you had discovered earlier, but at ease, the album is here and you can lie through your teeth about discovering them at a dirty club or pricy gentrified festival. A sonic fist with fiery guitars, infernal noise and desperate beats for desperate times. Takomaha expect no mercy, and take no prisoners.
Takomaha is a bleak and intense lens on the times we live in. This is not nostalgic rock nor conscientious contemporary music. This is spring break down the river Styx, for people who sniffed glue. Some people don’t like being punched in the face, so it’s prudent to assume that some people may not like Takomaha.
