I Heart Hiroshima started at back street parties in their home town and offer the spirits of many they adore: Sleater-Kinney, Leonard Cohen, The Smiths, The Pixies, Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams, Go-Betweens, and TV on the Radio.

More recently they have toured Australia with Cat Power, Regurgitator, New Pants (China), a trip to New Zealand with Ratatat, and are currently touring with guests An Horse. They have been asked to accompany Conor Oberst on his upcoming Australian tour this October.

With three well received EPs under their belts – 3 Letter Word for Candy, Cut in Colour, & Punks – I Heart Hiroshima at last makes their much anticipated full-length debut – Tuff Teef. Recorded in Sydney at Megaphon with Jonboyrock and mastered in NY by Alan Douches (Sufjan Stevens, Ben Folds Five, Mastodon).
