I clearly didn't fully appreciate how popular The All-American Rejects have become over their eight years together. The lineup outside the Phoenix just kept going and stretched all the way north to Wellesley Street. Even without counting the more than a few people in line who didn't realize the Lily Allen show had been moved to a different venue...

Shiny Toy Guns — Season Of Poison

in

Season Of Poison leaves a lot to be desired. After two years, a new female vocalist, commercial success and a Grammy Award nomination, I was expecting something more from this Los Angeles-based electro-rock band. Instead, this sounds like if Crystal Castles and The Academy Is... were thrown into a blender, resulting in a chunky, uneven concoction...

The first time I saw electro-rock quartet Shiny Toy Guns perform was on December 18, 2004 at the House Of Blues in Chicago, when they opened for future tourmates Kill Hannah. Singer Carah Faye kept experiencing a non-risque wardrobe malfunction — her leg-warmers were constantly falling down — and it looked like technical difficulties caused the...

Shiny Toy Guns — We Are Pilots

It'd be far too easy to dismiss this Los Angeles quartet as just another MySpace success story. Even before their major-label backing, they were one of the most popular indie bands on the ubiquitous website. But there are a few flaws to this notion. For one, the Shinys work ridiculously hard (they claim to be "on tour forever" and,...

We've got one writer who we're pretty sure patterns all her fashion decisions on whatever Sisely Treasure is wearing. If you're going to cop a look, it's better than wearing those stupid Kanye sunglasses, I guess.

Shiny Toy Guns Still Work Their Business

in
By Caitlin Hotchkiss (CHARTattack) June 20, 2007 4:00 pm
In the not-too-distant future, Shiny Toy Guns will be seen as a case study. They're a successful example of grassroots marketing and the perfect story of indie band make it big. What's the key that binds the two factors together? The quartet did it — created a MySpace profile that jumped to the top of the band chart, developed a worldwide fan...
