Shiny Toy Guns

By nikolas

Over a year ago, a friend of mine mentioned a cool band she had heard. But she’s one of those people who always messes up names, so she called ‘em something like Bright Plastic Pistols, and I was all, “Whatevs.”

Flash forward to last night: Zippin’ the Beamer down Interstate 5, a song called “Ghost Town” comes on Sirius satellite radio and my Stoke-O-Meter goes through the freakin’ (moon)roof!

“Who IS this?!”, I demand. And, since the BM-Dub I’m driving is doper than K.I.T.T., it proceeds to tell me everything I need to know: Intense, four-piece band from L. A. with killer His and Hers vocals, swirley-’lectro-loops, sick keys and sound f/x, and ballsy hooks for days.

All that, plus a glam-tastic, future-shock, cyborg aesthetic that pleases my peepers and gets me totally Stoked On This: Shiny Toy Guns
