Toy Dolls - Idle Gossip (Reissue)

Tongue-in-cheek punk act Toy Dolls came together in the northeast formerly industrial town of Sunderland, England in 1979 with working-class humour at the forefront of everything and frontman Olga breaking up the Oi singalongs with searing guitar assaults. Issued on the independent Volume label as usual, third album Idle Gossip continued in the same mould as their first two LPs with 'Geordie's Gone To Jail,' 'Keith's A Thief,' 'Silly Billy' and the title track all cracking numbers built on Olga and company's irresistible charm; 'I'll Get Even With Steven' even gives a po-faced punk nod to Elvis. Another great Toy Dolls LP!
