TOYS THAT KILL - Triple Sabotage!

  • Feb 20
  • 1 min read
"There was many years that I thought that we’d never do another TTK album again. It wasn’t a bitter thing. We’re all still tight and still play actively but it was just, at the very least, an afterthought. There's been a few attempts to do a new TTK album. In 2020 we had a full 16 song album tracked and partially mixed. We tossed it in the trash, Maybe it was cos we we're doing it smack dab in the middle of a worldwide pandemic? That might've helped it's journey into the garbage but in all honesty, it itself was garbage. It just wasn't anything special. The energy and spirit seemed to be gonzo. Luckily we didn't have assholes in suits demanding anything. Fans wanted something new. Afterall, it was 4 years since the last album. But why give em something we're not happy with? So fast forward to May of 25, I'm on a plane coming home from an awesome East Coast tour and thought we could use a new song in our set. What planned to be just singles here and there turned into a full length that turned out more than anything we expected. The  gatefold cover is like a very grim postcard to family and friends. It says “Hey congratulations and shit, but we ain’t lookin’ too hot right now”. So let’s, uh, celebrate? " - Todd C.

Stoked to see Recess Records still flying the flag since ’89—Todd C. keeping it DIY as ever. I’ve been digging through the Terminal Island lockdown episodes for band recs, and this one’s a killer rabbit hole. Check out the full archive over at https://image-to-stl.com

Lockdown podcast sounds rad, Todd — love that Recess is still dodging the industry machine since ’89. Been spinning some of those old 7-inches lately, and this episode’s got me digging through the archives again, check out https://music-generatorai.com
