IHH ON THE UK!
I HEART HIROSHIMA meets the United Kingdom in thrilling spree of shows!
Brisbane’s I Heart Hiroshima fill their weeks up with more shows in the UK after the Euro dates with The Rakes. Sparked off after a near riot at Rics midnight on Good Friday, the threesome made a run for it announcing more UK shows in a wanton display of gratitude. Before their dis-embarkment in late April though… 2 more nights of audience massacre at RICS this Friday and next… playing treats from the brand new second album due out after returning from Europa later this year. More UK and Euopean fare to come soon as.

I HEART HIROSHIMA – TUFF TEEF by DAVE
Released: 2008-10-13 on Valve/Weatherbox ARTROCKER RATING: 4/5
If you’re missing Help She Can’t Swim and Elle Milano, then check out I heart Hiroshima. Their debut album – Tuff Teef – is stuffed with the same kind of brash art pop, cutting some sharp angles but not shying away from a killer tune or two. Some of the interchanges between singers reminds of the mellower moments of The Kills too, especially on ‘Stop That’. It’s a real grower. Tuff Teef has an instant appeal, but really gets inside your head after a few spins. Excellent stuff. In these days of i-pod shuffling and picking and choosing individual tracks, it’s nice to find a record that works really nicely as an entire album. Check out the single ‘Punks’, but make sure you get the whole rekkid and don’t suffer any interruptions when listening from start to finish.
