The Tokyo Room - My Neon Carousel, 2010. 
There is great pleasure to be found in "discovering" a band. You may have never heard a note by them before, and then BAM! One song, one performance, one album can change everything. The Tokyo Room is a new Tassie post-90s garage rock act with a minty fresh sound. Take The Switch with its heartfelt lyrics, stop-start style, riotous riffs, tight rhythm, even a soul clap or two. This is the sound of three dudes having one hell of a great time. Riot sounds a bit like Arctic Monkeys but smarter, Animals is dreamy guitar pop like a drive down a Californian highway and Sunstroke turns the volume down but the intensity up. My Neon Carousel is packed with strong, well-executed material. It's also nicely produced, something that often lets independent bands down. 3 1/2 stars. JARRAD BEVAN - The Mercury News Paper.

Pirates and Paper Clips

I wrote this song in 2019 after having some battles in my own personal journey. However, releasing it into the wild has never seemed more appropriate than now.

This recording is our iso rehearsal/demo that’s just been recorded with a couple of phones and some basic equipment. We hope you enjoy it.

Limousine is based on the idea that depression can come like a speeding car in the dead of night. 
Most of the time, our objective is to plan our route and aim to make it across the road. However there are unexpected occasions where we end up face to face with a rogue driver. They come fully loaded with a grin on their face, a glint in their eye and have no intention of stopping, potentially changing our course dramatically. We end up becoming starstruck by it’s blinding lights and our options become limited.
Depression is real and we need to look after our mental health as much as our physical health. Whilst some can manage it, others unfortunately consider the lure of champagne and caviar and choose to jump inside the limousine.
As many of us struggle to adapt with what is currently happening around us, I want to encourage us all that together we can do this and we don’t have to do it alone. 
There’s going to be better days around the bend.
Take care.

Limousine

A demo we have put together in isolation. Mostly recorded with some iPhones and a basic music program.
