Guitar Meets Science has shared a new mini-documentary. Check it out below:
“This week, we rip through the loud, raunchy, and unmistakably Texan saga of Dangerous Toys—the band that clawed their way out of the smoky Austin bars and onto MTV without ever leaving their hometown. From a cover-band accident to a major-label bidding war, from killer clowns and gold records to grunge-era obscurity and cult hero status, this is a wild ride through one of hard rock’s most underrated stories. We dive into their explosive debut, the MTV hits ‘Teas’n, Pleas’n’ and ‘Scared’, the frustration of being dropped mid-tour, the angry brilliance of Pissed, and the unfiltered chaos of The Rtist 4merly Known As Dangerous Toys. Fronted by the unstoppable Jason McMaster — who famously turned down Pantera — they survived industry betrayal, shifting trends, and near silence… and still kept the band alive for the fans. If you thought Dangerous Toys were just another ‘hair band’, think again.”
"Prophets Of Addiction is a modern day Hanoi Rocks meets The 69 Eyes with plenty of Pop hooks and Whisky drenched vocals." - Metal Sludge.
