TSD have found the time to improve their musical discourse, maybe by the experience acquired, maybe by Gregg Foreman's (The Delta 72, Cat Power) divine intervention as producer and keyboardist. 7 years after their debut, they come up with their best record yet. A huge album that well-deserved the spanish band that has played outside Spain in more occasions than in Spain!
Some say that the mighty James Brown has a bastard grandson near Barcelona; and we're starting to think it's true, because RJ. Sinclair, Tokyo's frontman is, absolutely, the craziest guy we've ever seen onstage. And this has proven to us that punk music and soul music are so close to each other. In terms of music, we can relate them to The Sonics, MC5 or Sly And The Family Stone; in terms of aesthetics, we would say The (International) Noise Conspiracy or The Make Up. But Tokyo Sex Destruction go far beyond that, because they are even wilder and more sexual live onstage and on record, and because their lives turn around the philosophy of the liberation group The Black Panthers and the commandments of The Red Soul Communitee.
Their live appearences with the Tight Bros., The Mooney Suzuki, The Fleshtones, Standstill, Zen Guerrilla or their yet legendary show at the Sant Feliu Hardcore Fest 2002 have proven that only they know how to deal with the cliches of rock and roll, leading them to an almost esperpentic, yet elegant way to perform live, controlling the situation and seducing the audiences night after night. Garage, Soul and Punk united to recover the true r'n'r live spirit. We're not wrong; check them out live and you'll agree!
