Profile Scottish trio The Toi consist of Paul Healy on vocals/guitar, Andy Carr on bass/guitar/vocals and Stevie Mclay on drums/vocals and they describes themselves as Pop/Rock, but from the moment I heard the opening bars to ‘Get On It’ with its infectious chorus, I knew we were onto a winner, think more H.E.A.T., Estrella and cohorts. Each of these songs are very well written, played and produced, this band has a musical maturity beyond its years. Though recording the album at Rockfield Studios with Dan Hawkins/Nick Brine you can be sure to get a big sounding album. An impressive debut, and with a bit of luck, who knows where The Toi could end up. Highly recommended, a great pop/rock album with a west coast AOR feel.
