Mika Bomb formed in 1997 after front-woman Mika left her tedious office job in Japan and escaped to London to start a band and indulge in a life of rock and roll. Within weeks of arriving in England, Mika met up with a 16-year-old punk-brat called Agi who had recently left her hometown of Beijing for similar reasons to Mika's. Needless to say, it wasn't long before Mika and Agi started cranking out their own brand of trashy pop punk tunes. With Ergi, Mika Bass and Tomoko completing the line-up, they began playing regularly and building up a fearsome reputation through their ever-exuberant live shows. Not only were they wining over gig-goers up and down the country, but NME were calling them 'the new Ramones', Melody Maker described them as 'awesome' and Radio One's Steve Lamacq said they were 'the best band ever to come out of Japan'. Consequently, Mika Bomb also caught the attention of many record labels including Grand Royal, the label run by the Beastie Boys, who went on to release two limited edition singles 'Super Sexy Razor Happy Girls' and 'Heart Attack' in the year 2000. They originally released their fantastic 15-track debut album The Fake Fake Sound of Mikabomb on July 2nd 2001. Long out of print on vinyl we’re reissuing it again as the reformed Mikabomb are active once again, playing shows up and down the country.
