ARTIST: Toy Love

My job was to sing. Up there, stranded without an instrument to hide behind, I woulda got dead bored (dead) without a great band around me. They were great. I was lucky.

My only other real duty was to come up with the lyrics. The rest of 'em would provide all the musical muscle, the chords and often, embedded somewhere in a bass line, a shard of guitar noise or something less obvious, a melody. Everyone contributed - equally and in an atmosphere of complete trust - to the proceedings, myself included. Very seldom would anyone question my choice of lyrics. That was my area, trespassers would be barely tolerated. - Chris Knox 2005

A 20-song Toy Love tribute album called "Stitched Up!! The Songs of Toy Love Revisited" is going to be released later this year on American label Burning Sky Records. The album features covers by Don McGlashan, Shayne Carter & Sean Donnelly; Hamish Kilgour, and the first new recording from seminal punk band Proud Scum in 30 years. Also features cover art designed by Toy Love's own Jane Walker. A portion of the proceeds from each CD sold will go to aid Chris Knox's continuing recovery from a debilitating stroke. You can read more about it at www.burningskyrecords.com or find it on Facebook.
