Музыка и песни Mayors of Miyazaki / Mayors of Miyazaki

The second album of MAYORS OF MIYAZAZKI is a potent mix of DC-style rock with punky girl-boy dual vocals, there's a healthy dose of invention and off-kilter rhythms, choruses and callbacks are here aplenty, and the twisting riffs take their cues from the likes of FUGAZI, THE JESUS LIZARD, BURNING AIRLINES .. So how did the group get here? In 2008, the band recorded "Buffalo!", their first full length, which was released on the Tooting Bizarre imprint. The band gigged extensively to promote it, and fans were quick to snap it up. The album has since been repressed and re-released on Gareth's "World Heroes" label. Although still gigging semi-regularly throughout 2009/10, MAYORS OF MIYAZAZKI took a back seat to other commitments. Both Claire and Tom took time out for personal reasons, and Gareth joined hardcore trio SILENT FRONT on drums, with whom he still plays. For around 12 months, Chris Hutchinson (KILL MURRAY) filled in on drums for Tom, to enable MAYORS OF MIYAZAZKI to continue playing live in his absence. As things began to pick up again 2011/12, Tom returned and Mayors embarked on a 10 date tour across the UK and Ireland. While they had previously played up and down the country, this would be their first tour proper. Bristol-based We-Be Records (THESE ARMS ARE SNAKES, TROPICS, LORDS, CARETAKER) put out a split 7" single with fellow Londoners "Death Pedals", which was released in November 2012.
