Tacobonds vs Worst Taste

Brain-shredding post-punk group Tacobonds have come into their own since losing original singer Toshikazu Sasaki in 2009. After drafting in a string of guest vocalists, they decided to forge ahead as a trio, and if anything they sound even more arse-kicking for it. Next month sees them release their second album, No Fiction, which is produced by Panicsmile's Hajime Yoshida – the de facto godfather of Tokyo's current generation of indie underground noiseniks. On the first date in a short album release tour, they're joined by frequent sparring partners Worst Taste, themselves no strangers to stop-start rhythms and spastic guitar freakouts. Bring earplugs.
