Box Of Toys
Box of Toys, a British New Wave group, was formed in 1983, making a notable impact during their brief tenure. Under the Inevitable Records (UK) label, they released the singles "I'm Thinking Of You Now" and "Precious Is The Pearl." The band's lineup comprised Brian Atherton (Keyboards, Vocals), Andy Redhead (Drums), Roy Campbell (Bass), and Phil Martin (Alto and Soprano Saxophones, Oboe, Flute). Despite utilizing synthesizers and a drum machine, Box of Toys stood out from their contemporaries in the New Wave scene due to their unique musical approach.
The band's distinct sound was evident in their use of synthesizers and drum machines, setting them apart from their peers. In 1983, they also recorded a Peel session, but shortly after, the band disbanded. Following the split, the members ventured into different musical projects, with some forming bands such as 3D and The Light.
