Dangerous Toys - DemolitionSomewhere in the cobwebs of 1990-93, Texas rockers Dangerous Toys wrote a hellacious stack of songs for a third, major-label album that, unfortunately, never happened. While some of those song ideas subsequently surfaced on the indie-label album, “Pissed,” most were left for dead as “rejects” or unfinished demos. Until now. Singer and co-host Jason McMaster tells us how 10 of those long-lost tracks were dusted off, salvaged (as much as possible) and blessed by Bill Z. Bub for the upcoming Dangerous Toys release, “Demolition” (see what they did there?).Created and Produced by Jared Tuten
