Toronto Band

Toronto is a Canadian rock band formed in 1979, in Toronto, Canada. Toronto was formed out of a merger of players from several bands: Rose (drummer Jim Fox and guitarist Brian Allen); Lady (guitarist Sheron Alton); and Sass (lead vocalist Anne “Holly” Woods, keyboardist Scott Kreyer and bassist Nick Costello). The band quickly became something greater than the sum of its parts and our signature sound developed into having a “life” of its own.

Released in early 1980, the first single, “Even the Score”, steadily climbed the charts and Toronto hit the road touring across Canada and the U.S. to support the album, sharing the stage with bands like Journey, Nazareth, Ted Nugent, Foreigner, Cheap Trick, and Robert Palmer. The album achieved Gold, and then Platinum status in Canada. The third Platinum album featured the Top 5 single, “Your Daddy Don’t Know” (hitting #77 in the U.S. and Top 5 in Canada) and the Top 20 single, “Start Tellin’ The Truth”.
