Background notes
Archive material and source history
Toy Band formed in Manchester with Dave Edwards on vocals and guitar, Sam Shjipstone on guitar, Jonny Owens on bass, and Colin Jones on drums. They put out their first album, To the Rescue, in 2008.
Their 2009 single Dead & Gone got some attention. It was a ballad about loss that people connected with. They followed it with albums like The Plastic Toy Box in 2010 and Burn the Country in 2014.
Edwards had some personal troubles that became public. The band's relationships were reportedly volatile at times. They kept making music through it, mixing post-punk with folk and psychedelic touches.
