Exactly, they form a second band or join another band.
This is the case with TOY GUITAR from the USA.
Of the four musicians, two (Jack Dynamite and Miles Peck) also play in the well-known band Swingin' Utters.
TOY GUITAR consists of three men and one woman. The band plays a unique style, which is not always the case for bands on Fat Wreck Chords. While you can hear here and there that the band can also play a Fat Wreck - typical - sound, primarily they have created something of their own with “In this Mess.” If you're expecting California feel-good punk rock with choruses and sing-along guarantees, you will be disappointed.
The sound of TOY GUITAR leans towards The Hives or Jet in almost every song. Melodic, slightly overdriven, noisy, with guitar playing that seems to come straight from 1977. Apparently simple melodies, a driving guitar, and a direct, clear drumming are paired with a slightly whiny, hanging, annoyed vocal style. Of course, not as overdriven as with The Hives.
TOY GUITAR stands out positively from the pool of Fat Wreck bands. Simply because they are a bit different. Perhaps even more punk rock.
It is definitely nice to hear that old-school punk is still being played, even by younger bands like TOY GUITAR. That is highly commendable.
TOY GUITAR will surely find their fans with this record.
The band is currently on tour with Swingin' Utters.
Jack Dynamite and Miles Peck can be seen on stage with both bands.
