The Toy Dolls

The Toy Dolls are a British band. They formed in 1979, playing their first ever gig at Millview Social Club, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, UK, on 20 October 1979. After a couple of gigs, vocalist Pete Zulu left to form his own band. He was replaced by Paul "Hud" Hudson, who himself left after a single gig, leaving Toy Dolls as a trio with guitarist Michael "Olga" Algar to assume vocal duties. This was just the start of the revolving door of drummers and bassists that would characterize the Toy Dolls line-up over the years.

They've toured with Dillinger Four(with whom they now share a bass player), The Soviettes, Toys That Kill, Rise Against, Tiltwheel, Vena Cava, Grabass Charlestons, and The Lawrence Arms.

All Or Nothing

There are three bands with the name "All Or Nothing". 1) Pop-punk/hardcore band from, Birmingham, England, United Kingdom PUNKTASTIC REVIEW
There are moments of sheer genius that scatter through 'Dead Money' in the same way Set Your Goals lit up the back end of 2006 for many of us. And as 'Sweating At 6am' made me want to sit up and take notice immediately, I did think we had a new contender for the UK's melodic skate-punk crown. 'Dead Money' starts and finishes in exhilarating fashion.

The Apostates

The Apostates were formed in the summer of 2006 out of a mutual affection of getting tanked on cheap cider and playing noisy, brash punk rock with a healthy side order of dirty ska licks and soulful reggae rhythms. They keep their mix very English, intently giving the A-OK to let their London born tongues shout loud and proud instead of adopting counterfeit accents and conforming to the Americanised punk rock aesthetic of today.
