DANGEROUS TOYS – Demolition (2025) *HQ*
320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ 1 /// HQ 2
Texan ’80s sleaze metal favorites DANGEROUS TOYS crack open their toy box of vintage goodies for the first time in their 35+ year career.
The upcoming ”Demolition” compilation features all unreleased material recorded during the band’s earliest days as they forged and shaped their unique concoction of Southern rock and glam metal, hand selected by the band with all tracks performed by the classic line-up that played on the first two DANGEROUS TOYS albums.
The sound quality is very good, well recorded & mixed demos. And the key thing; the songs are good, catchy, n’ fun!
They may not have released a new studio album in 30 years, but few who’ve seen DANGEROUS TOYS playing out recently would ever doubt that they remain one of the most exhilarating live bands on the circuit — albeit one that rations its appearances to just a handful at most a year. They’ve already played a few select shows in 2025, and there’s still a couple to come.
Amidst so much activity, and with the band’s long-awaited fifth album still in a state of gestation, fans can look forward to the arrival of “Demolition”, which features 10 tracks, all previously unreleased and recorded during the hiatus between the band’s second and third albums, 1991’s “Hellacious Acres” and 1994’s “Pissed”, as they continued refining their debut album’s unique concoction of Southern rock and driving metal.
But while it’s easy to refer to the 10 tracks as “rejects” (even the TOYS do so!), it’s also worth remembering the band wrote at least 70 new songs during this period, with most of them being recorded within days of the original idea being brought to the jam room, probably scribbled on a piece of scrap paper, or loosely worked out on a cassette tape. And so the recordings piled up and when it came time to piece “Pissed” together…
Quality had nothing to do with it!. There was just too many songs to release. Until now!
