“This is music designed to be played loud and enjoy a few drinks to” – Powerplay Magazine

Toys That Bïte arrive with their highly anticipated debut album “You Have Been Warned,” a razor-tight introduction to a band that favors big hooks over simple nostalgia.

Produced by Ben Turner (Part Chimp, Mark Lanegan) and mixed by Grammy-nominated Romesh Dodangoda (Motörhead, Bring Me The Horizon), the album showcases a fully formed sound—blending the DNA of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden with a gritty, bar-room swagger. From the anthemic self-titled lead single to the twin-guitar attack of the title track, Toys That Bïte deliver steel-hard riffs and galloping rhythms built for the front row.

Formed in 2022 around a long-running writing partnership, the band’s transition from the practice room to the stage was instantaneous; a standout 2024 debut performance at an Ilfracombe rock weekender led directly to their first distribution deal.

Recorded at Axe & Trap Studios with the same fire that fuels their “Biters” fanbase, “You Have Been Warned” captures the essence of a band that cares about real stories and high-energy connection. Whether it’s the tongue-in-cheek grit of “Genius Level Stupid” or the last-orders singalong of “Pour Me A Whiskey,” Toys That Bïte deliver a straight-ahead heavy rock experience designed to make heads bang and pints spill.
