Tacobonds

Post-punk trio Tacobonds will doubtless be in high spirits when they wrap up the tour for their new album this week: No Fiction rocketed to the top of the... er, Disk Union indie charts when it was released at the tale end of last month. Produced by Panicsmile's Hajime Yoshida, the album captures the band's ferocity fairly well, though it's probably best enjoyed in small doses – or live. Tacobonds' support act for the night is a band who until recently could have headlined a much larger venue. Mass of the Fermenting Dregs were hamstrung by the departure of guitarist Chiemi Ishimoto at the end of last year, and though they've been soldiering on as a duo since then, it's hard to imagine them mustering the same kind of aural onslaught that they used to do so well. We'd love to be proved wrong, though.
