Tokyo Knife Attack

Tokyo Knife Attack is the work of Glasgow resident Craig Bell who's musical influences cover a broad spectrum, but most notably electro hip-hop, disco and synth pop. Craig started making music as a kid in the 80's by putting cassette recorders inside cardboard boxes and battering them with wooden spoons, a technique he still advocates to this day... although he has developed a few extra skills over the years, we think you'd agree.
