Plastic Toys are an electro-rock band, formed in 2004 and based in Southampton, UK. The band consists of Jon Plastic (Vox, Guitar), Kitty Brooks (Bass), Si Jackon (Guitar, Keys) and Ben Coley (Drums) and count their influences as Nine Inch Nails, The Killers, T-Rex and Marilyn Manson. Their debut single "Let Me Feel the Love" was released in July 2007 on the independent Hill Valley Record Label. Their debut album "For Tonight Only" is due to be released in early 2008.
Entirely self-funded, self-recorded and self-produced, "Let Me Feel The Love" was described as "marking the moment electro pop became stadium rock with throbbing synths and beats, a hook that Marc Bolan would be proud of and massive, fuzzy guitar riffs" and was mixed by Andy Gray, the highly-acclaimed co-writer of the Channel 4 Big Brother theme tune and mastered in Los Angeles by Tom Baker (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, My Chemical Romance). They won ITV's unsigned band competition by a landslide and were voted into the top 5 unsigned bands by Kerrang! They also held the Number One spot on BBC Radio 1's "One Music" chart for eight weeks.
