The UK rock trio known as Toffees have
released their debut LP record album, “Room with a View.” The
album is comprised of 10 original tracks for a total playing time of
approximately 41 minutes. The album is a classy, tastefully written
record that blends indie sensibilities with a post-punk spirit and a
Brit-pop style. Striking a beautiful balance between heartfelt
sincerity and devil-may-care fun, “Room with a View” by Toffees
serves as a fantastic introduction to this intelligent and vivacious
crew of rock performers.
Formed by the triumvirate of Mj Lewis,
Piers Nolan and Ryan Bailey, Toffees is only two years old as a
project, yet in this short time they've crafted a spot-on,
full-length release, as well as an official music video for “The
End Begins” that is debonaire, clever and charming (and for which
drummer Bailey may deserve an Academy Award nomination).
The chemistry between Toffees members
is palpable, undeniable, and dynamic. Their songwriting chops are
impeccable, each song having its own character apart from the others
and every riff sounding fresh and original. Their tone is perhaps the
most finely tuned aspect of the band, giving them the air of studio
professionals with decades of experience honing the perfect sound,
yet neither Lewis, Nolan, nor Bailey have celebrated a twentieth
birthday.
Toffees cite as main artistic
influences the likes of The Beatles, Paramore, Noel Gallagher
(Oasis), and Crowded House, all of whom have lent attributes to the
Toffees' sonic identity. In addition to these, “Room with a View”
also recalls certain elements of Violent Femmes, Libertines, Gin
Blossoms, and Deep Blue Something, and indeed even a touch of Green
Day.
Speaking candidly of their impetus for
writing their debut LP, Toffees writes, “We want to put across that
you don’t have to choose between music with an edge and music
that’s catchy with a good chorus. We make upbeat, positive music
that can also make you think.”
With a debut record of this quality
kicking off what is certain to be a sterling, rocket-ship music
career, it's hard to restrain one's excitement for all the Toffees
albums to come, but the present offering of “Room with a View” is
an absolute must-hear for audiophiles everywhere that is sure to
slake the listener's thirst – at least for a little while.
