Bandang Toyo

Yup! TOYO is a band of rock and roll crazed guys who simply love to play the blues and old-time classic rock from the ‘60s and ‘70s. TOYO was formed in 2006 and went into various transitions with different guitarists and session musicians (keyboardist, harpist, and saxophonist) from time to time. 

In the spirit of Cream, one of the band’s greatest influences, TOYO established a solid three-piece act in 2008. In 2010, TOYO  launched their first independent album “Sino Ba Naman ang Hindi Totoyoin?” –  a 10-track CD of all original songs including the 2010 NU Rock Awards nominated song “Eleksyon Nanaman,” TOYO’s first single.  In 2011, TOYO’s original guitarist left the group which became an opportunity for the band to experiment and transform their music.

TOYO isn't just your everyday household seasoning; it is a blend of mind and music, a fusion of rock and roll mixed with the lyricism coming straight from the sweaty brows of the masang Pinoy.
