The Toy Dolls can rock like psychobilly, or grind like any Punk Core band, and they can skip like fruits and get away with it cuz they’re funny as hell.
It’s cute, funny, retro new wave that still has respect for itself and the audience. The vocalists each have a specialty, and jump in when their time comes.
Top-notch, rip-snorting, fire-farting punk. Inventive guitar work, nice low-end diddling from the bass, and tight-ass drumming that may save a life some day.
They come from the expected hotbed of island roots music, Toronto, Ontario. Heh. They didn’t start a punk band to meet girls, they’re here for the music.
NY Rel-X revels in blood in lyrics and artwork, but the streamlined sound is actually very clean. Crisp, intelligible vocals face impressive brisk guitarwork.
