Tokyo Rose
Successful Warped Tour outings, an ever-expanding domestic and international fanbase, sharing bills with amazing artists and a third shot at a full-length album — it sounds like life for the members of New Jersey-based pop-rock act Tokyo Rose is pretty damned great. And as anyone in the band will tell you, for the most part, it is. But as vocalist/guitarist Ryan Dominguez explains, the industry — of which Tokyo Rose has been a part of for several years now — isn't without its faults, namely those who'll offer the world yet fail to deliver on even the most basic of levels. "I feel that all the songs on the record are loosely based around people making promises that they cannot keep," Dominguez says. "We've encountered a fair amount of that. I feel as though that definitely embodied our year, despite all the great things we were able to do." One of the band's most recent achievements is the completion of its latest SideCho full-length, The Promise in Compromise. And though the album's thematic undercurrent is one of deception and false hopes, this is actually one of Tokyo Rose's most upbeat, listener-friendly collections. The intentionally powerful, produced and polished sounds of The Promise in Compromise find the band in a position that's anything but downtrodden and deflective. "The music that we did for this record is definitely going to catch people's ears," says bassist Chris Poulsen. Oh and it will!
