Gummi Bako / Come in Tokyo

These two bands have previously spent time under the Fence Collective umbrella prior to releasing this joint single on new Anstruther label Nekkid Records.
Gummi Bako’s ‘Dope On a Rope’ is infectious alt-country with a highly-developed sense of fun and vocals that sound at times to be attempting to become a human banjo. Built around a simple, repetitive tune, this is catchiness of the order that is pointless trying to resist. Come in Tokyo’s ‘I Won’t Want You has a faster, sparse punk sound with prominent drums and boy/girl singing most obviously reminiscent of White Stripes.
