Words

Several bands share the name Words. Words is a hardcore punk band from Quebec City, Quebec Canada. Formed at the end of summer 2006, Quebec City's Words was quickly up on its feet and ready to show their local scene what the band is about. Playing their first show only two weeks after their first practice as a complete band, Words still hasn't lost any momentum. It really is no surprise considering the people behind the instruments, though. Words has a very impressive pedigree of bands including Mi Amore, Commando, Nihyl & Monocycle, among others.

The Toy Dolls

The Toy Dolls are a British band. They formed in 1979, playing their first ever gig at Millview Social Club, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, UK, on 20 October 1979. After a couple of gigs, vocalist Pete Zulu left to form his own band. He was replaced by Paul "Hud" Hudson, who himself left after a single gig, leaving Toy Dolls as a trio with guitarist Michael "Olga" Algar to assume vocal duties. This was just the start of the revolving door of drummers and bassists that would characterize the Toy Dolls line-up over the years.
