‘TOYLAND’ by Toyland is the 12” extended play recording of the words and music behind the ‘deranged barbie-doll’ image that first shocked and then delighted audiences in their native Adelaide and in Melbourne.
This EP showcases four of the songs that give the band the satirical edge, political awareness, and sense of musical humour that informs and fleshes out their on-stage theatrics.
Now with this, Toyland’s first recording, you can appreciate the music without the exciting visual distractions of their live shows. It is avant guarde yet instantly accessible, a must for all discerning record buyers. Listen and you will see why.
The Toyland EP is an independent production.
