@tomika are a young band based in Ash, Surrey. Formed during the summer of 1998, they write & play
a collection of original, energetic & memorable rock-pop-punk songs. There is a constant debate happening as to the style they play. In truth it is a FANTASTIC mixture of all three!
@TOMIKA are
Gareth - singer/guitar
Jud - drums
Steve - guitar
Chris - bass
Late Jan saw the release of their self-financed debut single. "Dead Flowers" - released on the local punk label Mother Stoat, was received
with much praise from the underground fanzine network & also received coverage in the NME, Melody Maker & Kerrang. The band undertook a 22 date promotional UK tour from mid January through to the end of
March, which took in Hull, Oxford, Margate, London, Coventry, Winchester & Hastings amongst others. The tour was a huge success, with the single still selling well in the shops & at the gigs. Another single
& tour is planned for Aug/Sept. @tomika the band for 1999 & beyond? It's your call...
