TOY: "Lose My Way" & "Motoring"

Into The Horrors?  Then you might dig TOY, who are conversant in all things traditionally indie rock and/or post-punk.  There are psychedelic and garage elements here as well.  Their overt allegiance to mid-80s Jesus and Mary Chain reverb-laden mud rock and Echo & The Bunnymen croon could lead one to cite the soundtrack from Some Kind of Wonderful as the band's chief influence.  Decent songs with decent videos.

"They punch all the right cult-rock buttons, merging garage-rock violence, post-punk drama, krautrock's motorik rush and effects-pedal psychedelia into a blitzing racket." – The Guardian
