Their first two records, Good Health and The New Romance, were both very good, solid records. Both records skirted on being great records; records that would bring them a larger audience like their recent tourmates, Bloc Party, Death ... http://www.soundthesirens.com/musicbox/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=336 http://www.soundthesirens.com/musicbox/index.php?p=335 http://www.soundthesirens.com/musicbox/index.php?p=335#comments Mon, 01 May 2006 07:00:24 +0000 Interviews http://www.soundthesirens.com/musicbox/index.php?p=335 by DAVID WALTER Make note, Tokyo Rose do not want to be lumped together with the rest of the musical talent that culminates from the state of New Jersey.

They've been around and making music since way back when Nirvana ruled the airwaves and at the time, gave 'em a bit of a run for their money.

They encourage you to download their music illegally, remain humble and bumbling onstage and, if you give them five dollars, they will graciously play your obscure request.
