Toy Dolls, The
A Far Out Disc
Formed from Sunderland in Englands 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 Girlfriends Dads A Vicar, the hilarious Commercial Break and Bless You My Son, and the She Goes To Finos recut, Olgas shrill shrieking leads the way. Another great Toy Dolls album!
