Takka Takka
I found Takka Takka thanks to them being in the Myspace Top 8 of one Hartley Goldstein. One of the dirty little secrets in how I find new bands is to see who other artists I like put in their top 8 and explore from there. Usually it results in me listening to a lot of crap, other times it throws up something great like Takka Takka.
Takka Takka are a New York four piece who make fun, yet accomplished rock songs. There actually isn’t a great deal more to say about them beyond that. No prizes for originality here, but they know how to make a catchy song about life in the city and they do it well.
They are also one of the increasing number of bands that have embraced the internet as a way of getting the word out about their music. Earlier this year they released an entire EP, ‘Fall Apart Art’ onto the internet for free, including the full artwork. You can get hold of it by clicking here. They are currently recording a new full length album, and you’ll find some demo songs from it below.

You’ll find more about Takka Takka, including a bunch more songs, on their simple yet wonderful website, entitled The Misery News. They also have a Myspace, obviously. How else would I have found them?
