Description

Formed from Sunderland in England’s formerly industrial northeast, the Toy Dolls put working class humour at the forefront of their take on punk, the three-chord format a launching pad for witty originals and clever covers. Sophomore set A Far Out Disc, released in 1985, saw the shifting line-up tackle the theme song of kiddies’ TV show Razzamataz and deliver a blistering take of surf rock standard ‘Wipe Out’; on originals like ‘My Girlfriend’s Dad’s A Vicar’, the hilarious ‘Commercial Break’ and ‘Bless You My Son’, and the ‘She Goes To Fino’s’ recut, Olga’s shrill shrieking leads the way. Another great Toy Dolls album!
