The Toy Guns - Nice One Jerry/ Shoot The Boy

AA sided 7 inch single released 3rd September, limited to 500 copies

The new AA single from the Regal Singles Club is ‘Nice One Jerry’ / ‘Shoot The Boy’ from The Toy Guns.

A four-piece made up of two Geordies, an Italian and a Finn, The Toy Guns are based in Bethnal Green and arrive on Regal on the back of winning Zane Lowe’s Fresh Meat title (with ‘Shoot The Boy’) on Radio One, and getting lots of love and spins from BBC 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq and Xfm’s Steve Harris.

‘Nice One Jerry’ (the title is inspired by The Specials Jerry Dammers) is an incendiary blast of ska-punk, delivering its anti-racist message with flair and intelligence. ‘Shoot The Boy’ clocks it at under two minutes, and not a second is wasted - this infectious, raw and dirty track is like one long chorus.

Fresh from supporting Babyshambles for a Love Music Hate Racism gig in London’s Hackney Empire, this November the band are set to play Newcastle’s Sage for Roger Daltrey’s charity – the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Tales of scuffles with the boys in blue, birds you never see again and scrapes with the Spanish Authorities combined with a driving rhythm section interchanging with melodic lead and tight vocals make The Toy Guns a live band not to be missed, catch them if you can:
