TOUMING MAGAZINE is a Taiwanese alternative rock band formed in 2006 consisting of Hung (vocals and guitar), Tang (drums), Chang (guitar), and Hsieh (bass). Initially influenced by alternative rock pioneers such as Pixies, Weezer, Sonic Youth, Superchunk, Cap’n Jazz and NUMBER GIRL, TOUMING MAGAZINE delivers a distinctive sound composed of adrenaline-charged guitars, straight forward basslines and sprinting drum beats, which sets them miles apart from domestic contemporaries. Lyrically, frontman Hung pays his tribute to teenage angst, sentimental thoughts, as well as sexual hallucinations in a sharp yet poetic tone. In their much anticipated debut full-length “OUR SOUL MUSIC”, the fusion of various musical elements can be heard, reminiscent of Motown grooves, punk rock bliss, or even hip-hop homage. They are going to embark on a local mini tour and stick to their do-it-yourself ethics.
