ToyMachine! [Episode 141]

Clifton, NJ rap-rock dynamos – ToyMachine! – stopped by our studio recently to chat it up about their current upward trajectory as a band. Always engaging and full of energy … Ray, Ryan, Mikey & Greg have been crafting cutting edge music since 2020 with well-received singles "Sally,” “Party and Bullshit,” and “Girls Will Be Boys” as proof! They pride themselves on blending many genres to create a sound that’s never been heard before and are determined to do whatever it takes to get their music heard and recognized.

With a level of wisdom that belies their years, the group shares with us their approach to building and maintaining a fanbase as well as how they fund their music though various businesses and jobs. They also dropped the bomb that they will soon be releasing not one … not two … but THREE studio albums and THREE music videos! ToyMachine! is most definitely in the sweet spot of that "creative zone” and ready to take the NJ rap-rock scene hostage!

The guys call their live shows “an all-out experience” and if you’ve ever seen them perform … you’ll know exactly what that means. If you haven’t yet seen ToyMachine!, you’re in luck! Grab your tickets to have your mind blown at Dingbatz (May 24), QXT’s (May 25) and Bayville Fest (June 24)!

ToyMachine! is Mikey O'Connor (Bass) Greg Alders (Drums) Ray Bentley (VOX) Ryan Lamon (Guitar, VOX)
