Fact #108026

Go straight to track 2, Jolly Orange, for the most magnificently fun-filled full-on retro-punk blast of overwhelmingly loud, distorted guitars and almost buried female vocals that you'll hear between now and January 2015. A quartet from the suburbs of Tokyo, Taffy sound like they got trapped in a haunted lift for a month with the ghost of Johnny Ramone and have never quite recovered. Vocalist Iris sounds like Debbie Harry crossed with Louise Wener of Sleeper. This is actually a compilation, but as Taffy's material has never made any impact in the UK, it should all sound new to you, like discovering a fantastic 80s shoegaze indie band you never knew existed.
