‘The entire process was a real journey for our band as well as a sign of us maturing as artists after working together for over 25 years,’ said vocalist/bass player Mark Strothmann. Formed in 1995 by Strothmann and Sam Taylor, the band’s debut, ‘Where’s the Mansion,’ was released in 2001, followed by ‘Split the Dayz’ in 2005. Chad Larkin (Guitar, Vocals) and Joe Taylor (Keyboard, Piano, Rhodes, Backing Vocals) round out the line-up.

The band brings its Big Star/Beatles/Kinks influence and love of power pop to ‘All the Same.’ Taylor says of the song, ‘Lyrically, it’s about how we write our own version of the people in our lives and then start to believe it — like everyone’s working from their own story of each other.’ Drummer Michael Musburger (Supersuckers, The Posies) makes a guest appearance on the album.

Their unique sound captures the spirit of lifelong friendship and a love of Rock and Roll. Toy Machine Gun crafts catchy songs with a dash of sentimentality that describe their experience and adventures in the land of Gene Wilder, Harley-Davidson, and breweries.
