It's about time, I missed these guys :D

The "Don't Take my Clone" 7" is great stuff. I like it better than 'Control the Sun.'

you're weird.

;p

miniblindbandit (April 27, 2006)

Even though this band is musically better than FYP, I still like FYP more. Can't beat "Fuck You and a Half."

Someone (April 27, 2006)

FYP were better but this band rules.

I had never even heard of FYP (and still haven't gotten around to really checking them out) but I quite like Toys That Kill. 'Control the Sun' is a nearly flawless record and I love the band's visual aesthetic.

"Nearly flawless"? Are you kidding? The last 3-4 songs aren't even remotely punk. Or good, for that matter. Plus, the singer's voice can get grating at times (e.g. "The White Lies").

7.5/10 at most.

Keep your comments to the No Use For A Name threads, Poindexter.

Someone (April 27, 2006)

Oooh, aren't you the brash one.

Someone (April 27, 2006)

Control the Sun was an alright CD, though the last 3-4 songs on it were totally disposable. I don't really hear the D4 influence either; at times these guys sound like hicks.

Hopefully this one is more consistent, and doesn't have 5-minute bullshit songs at the end.

MrStabone (April 27, 2006)

I love this band. I like them WAY better than FYP. Can't wait to hear this.

VA motherfuckers take note:

Sunday April 30

The Ergs! - they fucking rule - if the descendents were somehow even nerdier
Modern Machines - a milwaukee band that sounds like they are from minneapolis
Stabones - gay ass frat boy shit
Pink Razors - D4/Toys That kill sounding pop punk from richmond
the 40 Boys - 2 man rock n roll assault

4pm. Keg. Hot dogs. Donations.

I've yet to see a band successfully "copy" the D4 sound. I've got the latest Pink Razors and Toys That Kill albums, and while both have some solid songs on them, they're not even close to approaching the greatness of D4. Whereas, say, The Lawrence Arms aim for a Jawbreaker-ish sound and are incredible because of it.

Someone (April 27, 2006)

The new Modern Machines mp3 is fucking great though. I'll definitely be ordering their new album.

Someone (April 27, 2006)

The Pink Razor's are a poor mans D$. I don't see Toys That Kill being like D4 in the slightest

Someone (April 27, 2006)

Paddy just filled the cup.

Someone (April 27, 2006)

Shank is awesome.

Someone (April 27, 2006)

One of the few relevent punk bands still left.

Someone (April 27, 2006)

TTK is such a good band. Control The Sun was such an awesome record plus last time I saw them was when they toured with no other than D4. And it was fan-frickin'-tastic.

Someone (April 27, 2006)

It's like they completely forgot to hype this album up a bit. I had no idea it was even coming out and now I hear it'll be released in a week. I'd kill Chinatown to hear a track off this bad mother fucker.

Mute98 (April 27, 2006)

oh hell yes! i love this band!

Someone (April 28, 2006)

me like TTK
