Dangerous Toys

about

Dangerous Toys is an American rock band from Austin, Texas, formed in 1987. The band is known for its hard rock sound and lyrics that often incorporate humor. They released four studio albums and one live album before entering an unofficial hiatus around the turn of the millennium. Their self-titled debut album, "Dangerous Toys" (1989), produced the singles "Teas'n, Pleas'n" and "Scared" and was certified gold by the RIAA. The follow-up albums "Hellacious Acres" (1991) and "Pissed" (1994) received critical recognition but did not match the commercial success of the debut. Their fourth studio album, "The R*tist 4*merly Known as Dangerous Toys" (1995), saw limited sales and contributed to the band's hiatus. The band formed in October 1987 when Jason McMaster of Watchtower joined Tim Trembley's band Onyxx as vocalist, which also included Scott Dalhover (guitar), Mark Geary (drums), and Mike Watson (bass). By 1988, the band had adopted the name Dangerous Toys and signed with Columbia Records. Trembley left the band before the release of the debut album, and Scott Dalhover recorded all guitar tracks, with Danny Aaron joining the band shortly before its release. "Dangerous Toys" peaked at number 65 on the Billboard 200 and received significant airplay on MTV's Headbangers Ball. The band toured internationally in support of the album and contributed "Demon Bell (The Ballad of Horace Pinker)" to the soundtrack of the 1989 film "Shocker." In 1991, their second album, "Hellacious Acr
