UK band Toys That Bite have just released their eponymously titled debut single, via Dr John’s Surgery Records, and it is a rifftastic barrage of powerful rock. The band have described the song as “a superb track that takes you back to the good days of rock, with a twist that’s uniquely theirs“. Frankly it would be hard to disagree with that. The band was formed by Karl Bauers on guitars and vocals (former Metal Gods) and Adam Stanley on lead vocals and drums (former Whailtale, King Walrus & Communicators). They are joined by Jason Shepard (Bass Guitar), Terry Anderson (Drums) and Dave Rivett (Guitar/Vocals). Their sound draws on a wide range of old school influences and could be the bastard child of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal from the early 80s. I can hear elements of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest in this track to name just a couple. The bands fans are called biters and maybe that is because this band bites fucking hard when they hit top gear, as they do on this track. This is an awesome song from an awesome band! You might not know it yet, but soon you will know that you need Toys That Bite in your life!
