Music and activity

Tomahawks for Targets are resistant to having their music categorised, but their sound is described in terms that combine sadness and uplift. They are presented as working on their debut album while also composing a follow-up. The band plans to self-release a single in winter 2010.

Style and description

Their music is described through comparisons that include elements of film and a range of other bands, suggesting a sound that tries not to imitate anyone directly while still resembling several other acts by accident. The band’s own framing of its style points to a melancholic but uplifting character.
