This a review for The Boy Toy’s new 45 Girls Like You on Spin The Bottle Records.

Some of you may remember them as Ryan Pitts & the Boy Toy’s.  No longer now just the Boy Toy’s.  According to Pitts he had pissed off so many venues that he wanted to drop his name so people thought it was different band.  They are a perfect sound if you are looking for a 60′s pop mixed with early power pop.  Taking influences from the Undertones, Paul Collins Beat, Elton Monetello, Dictators, Kinks, Searchers, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Exploding Hearts, New York Dolls, Johnny Thunders, Nobunny, etc………………

The side A tracks are  Girl’s Like You and I Want You.

Girl’s Like You is a really catchy tune. It’s a anti love song. Talking about being with the wrong type of girls. It’s just a reminder of getting stuck with the wrong girls can happen over and over again.

I want you!!!!!  This is a great a sing a long song a real crowd please live.  This one is about finding the right one and really letting them know. It’s really good 50′s / 60′s dance groove. Kinda like a Gino Washington song if it was slowed down.

The B track is Black and Blue and Grey.  This another great romantic song from the Boy’s.  Starting out with great lyrics ” I could give you diamond rings but that’s not what you want. You want the other things”  A song about trying to be changed by your significant other.  Making you look a fool.

As you can see most of there songs are all about Life, Love, Heart Break.

The is a highly recommended 45.

My rating 10 out of 10 if you like Nobunny, Paul Collins Beat, Hunx and His Punx, Milk And Cookies, Sweet Sixteens,King Khan BBQ, Gino Washington, Kinks.

Review,

Hello everyone,

First up.  New Flip Extremely Sorry Video breakdown.

I rolled up to the premiere on Wed the 16th. Before the video I had a Vans dinner with some of the guys at Pacific Drive and the rest was co workers from Vans.  So we went to some nice place called Roy’s, since Vans picked up the bill. Me and my friends from PD all got steaks.  My crew from PD was Jesse, Clinebell, and Jason. I will give you  the breakdown of what I thought of the video and some of there opinions.

First up Shane Cross before the intro credits.  Shane’s part was really rad. They used these crazy special effects that was cool got a little old after a bit.  Shane for sure put it down.

Intro

Then first part went to Geoff Rowley. WTF? First part?  Anyway Geoff is one of my favorite’s for the last 15 yrs. His part was really good, but I was expecting more. Most of his bangers I had already seen in mags. Just when I thought he was going to start shutting it down his part was over. Jesse agreed with me like maybe he is going to have another part at the end of the video. That was not the case.

Luan,

The kid is a tech wizard., I need to watch his part in slow mo like 20 times to understand whats was happening.

I was really hyped on Willow even though he only had like a minute of footy. That fool is good. He nollie tres a double set so sick looking.  He needs a full part.

Bob Burnquest,

Danny Way he is coming for you.  I don’t really back Bob but after this I might. Switch backsmith over the rainbow rail. Just watch atleast once before you hit the vert button.

Tom Penny

Another one of my favorites from back in the day. He put it down. Song was annoying along with 90% of the music in the video.

Lance Moutain

His part in this was way better than any prior parts. He is super rad. One footed nose grab febble grind in a pool.

Mark Appleyard

Dude is sick. Killed it.

David Gonzales

Fuck this kid is one insane psycho.  His part may shut down all pro’s on gnar. I saw Jamie Thomas over my shoulder taking notes on the tricks he did. I know he is making a trick list for Tommy and Cole to try and take him out. They may be over that. Stuff he was doing you could die on.

Anyway I give the video a 7 out of 10.
