THIS DOES NOT SOUND LIKE british music. I just hear north amerika. and foreign soil. and strange festivities. and a distinctive quality I would not associate with a band calling the United of Kingdom of Great Britain their home. This fact warms my heart. Which is reason enough to give them some coverage here on Nothing But Green Lights (the only mp3 blog dedicated to new UK music!).

Somewhere on the Eastern Front between the entrenched positions of the Arcade Fire and the Mystery Jets on the other, Tap Tap are in no-mans land. But as long the accordion has still got some air left in it to sing, and the musicians have still got some air left in their lungs to shout, there should always be a unique place for Tap Tap slap band in the middle of the action. I’m imagining Tap Tap were probably the guys running that indie-disco back in the good old days when Leningrad was hip. You can purchase CD album “Lanzafame” @ Catbird RecordsThey have a cut-price album out on CatBird out right now, I’m gonna buy it today. Hear more music by the band at their Myspace page
