Shiny Toy Guns

Shiny Toy Guns reunited with Carah Faye. It’s been long enough that I’m curious what they sound like now, though the kind of synthpunk they made doesn’t really fade. It was one of those bands that felt both stupid and necessary at the time, which basically sums up the 2000s.

Getting the original voice back matters because that sound is tied to hers. The fact that they’re tying it to the end of winter makes it feel deliberate, not just another reunion tour. I’m actually curious to hear them again.
