Product Description
Product Description
The Toy Dolls are set to release their brand new album 'The Album After The Last One' on the 19th March, having been 8 years since their last acclaimed release 'Our Last Album?'. The new album is to be their 12th studio release and features the band's own brand of comic punk rock that has generated them a dedicated fan-base across the World. Centred around frontman Olga, he has never fallen short of providing the guitar-widdling madness that graces each record as well as his own lyrical input into current topics clearly exemplified with their latest single release 'Credit Crunch Christmas'. The new album features 13 of the band's latest cuts including alliterated highlights such as 'Dirty Doreen', 'Sciatica Sucks' and 'Decca's Drinking Dilemma'. Formed in Sunderland, 1979, the Toy Dolls achieved recognition with their first album 'Dig That Groove Baby' in 1983 the band went on to find chart success with their 1984 cover of 'Nellie the Elephant'. Expect to see the band on their upcoming 2012-2013 tour 'The Tour After the Last One' to witness the bands onstage antics including choreographed dancing, spinning guitars and general punk folly.

Its a bloody long time since I saw this bunch of reprobates playing in the bar at Brighton Poly before even 'Nellie' hit big, but this superb comeback record is as energetic, good fun and pop-tastic as those spotty teenagers were almost 35 years ago.
If you'd never bought their debut album you could be mistaken for thinking this was it, it's as dynamic as the Dolls ( UK Version) ever were and probably their second best album ever...
do yourself a favour...

This is a must-have for a Toy Dolls fan. I bought this one because of the great comments of a friend. She told me this cd was absolutely great. And indeed. While listening to this cd I already longed to see them perform. Great tunes, great lyrics, ... glad I bought it. My favourite is Decca's dilemma and B.E.E.R. Can't wait for Olga and crew to perform around here.

It's been eight years since their "last" album. Now here's the follow-up and it's their best album in a long time.
The band is hungrier than ever, full of energy and Olga spits his words out with fury he hasn't done since the "Toy Dolls EP" and "Teenager in Love/I've Got Asthma" in 1981. The album starts with Olga trying to come up with a song on his guitar, when carol singers interrupts him. He doesn't like it one bit, it's hilarious. Other than that, the focus is mostly on the songs. That's not to say that there are no sketches on the album, but you shouldn't expect "Dig That Groove Baby", "A Far Out Disc" or "Absurd-Ditties". It's got more talk/sketches than "Our Last Album?" though.
After the little rascals are gone, "Credit Crunch Christmas" and "Molly Was Immoral" blast off the record with break-necking speed, muscular riffs and - as always - their trademark hilarious lyrics, just as you'd expect.
Something quite new is that each band member gets a bit more space than usual. Tommy Goober's bass introduces "Decca's Drinking Dilemma"; The Amazing Mr. Duncan plays fiddle on some songs and even has lead vocals on "Don't Drive Yer Car Up Draycott Avenue", one of the album's many highlights. But the real highlight is the three acoustic solo performances with Olga at the end of the record, which proves that you don't need electric guitars to rock.
"The Album After the Last One" is just as good as you could possibly hope for. If you're a fan, don't hesitate purchasing it.
HIGHLIGHTS: "Olgamental Intro", "Credit Crunch Christmas", "Molly Was Immoral", "Don't Drive Yer Car Up Draycott Avenue", "Kevin's Cotton Wool Kids", all the acoustic tracks.

Curate's Egg, But Still Worth Getting For The Price
That this album has come out at all represents more a sigh of relief for Toy Dolls fans than anything else. The end of the previous "Our Final Album? Read more
