TOYS THAT KILL - Triple Sabotage (LP)
“There were many years that I thought that we’d never do another TTK album again. It wasn’t a bitter thing. We’re all still tight and still play actively, but it was just, at the very least, an afterthought. There’s been a few attempts to do a new TTK album. In 2020, we had a full 16-song album tracked and partially mixed. We tossed it in the trash. Maybe it was cos we were doing it smack dab in the middle of a worldwide pandemic? That might’ve helped its journey into the garbage, but, in all honesty, it was garbage itself. It just wasn’t anything special. The energy and spirit seemed to be gonzo. Luckily, we didn’t have assholes in suits demanding anything. Fans wanted something new. After all, it was 4 years since the last album. But why give 'em something we’re not happy with?
So fast forward to May of '25, I’m on a plane coming home from an awesome East Coast tour and thought we could use a new song in our set. What was planned to be just singles here and there turned into a full-length that turned out more than anything we expected.
The gatefold cover is like a very grim postcard to family and friends. It says “Hey, congratulations and shit, but we ain’t lookin’ too hot right now.” So let’s, uh, celebrate?“ - Todd C.
