Joy-Rides was formed in 2005 in London around his frontman Kieran Toms, the full line-up included Imogen Lockwood on bass, Jon Mason on drums and Alasdair Leckie on keys.
With a new Line-up including full time member Craig Clark on keys, they play a very experimental noisy post-punk. They recorded in 2008 their own-produced release SelfSaam, and played several gigs in the London area, alongside bands such as The Guillotines, ddd or Ulterior.

Lead singer Mika Handa arrived in London in 1998, with the goal of playing in a punk band. Recruitment for the band began with the arrival in London of the guitarist Agi. Another Mika (Mika Kanayama) on bass introduced an element of musicality to the bass department while a North London boy, Ergi, provided the drums. In 2000, they signed with the Beastie Boys' label Grand Royal. Mika Bomb performed in the West Country plugging their singles "Super Sexy Razor Happy Girls" and "Heart Attack".
