Music like Made in Japan

Made in Japan is an indie rock band from Sydney, Australia that formed in 2009. They have described their sound as "dream-pop" and "groove based." Their music has evolved from straightforward post-punk revival in their early releases to incorporate an ethereal shoegaze aesthetic into their sound.

The band was formed by schoolmates James Cooney (vocals/drums) and Jono Graham (guitar) in 2009 over their mutual appreciation for the Bloc Party album Silent Alarm. Tom Davis (guitar) and Andrew Knox (bass guitar) soon joined the band, and new material was composed.

In February 2009, the band released an eponymous four-track EP. In October of the same year, their first single "Oxford Decor" was released. The band then recorded and released the single "Pairs" in April 2010. Both "Oxford Decor" and "Pairs" received late-night music television attention, and the band was featured on Australian radio station Triple J.
