Dangerous Toys

Dangerous Toys is an Austin, Texas-based rock band, with often humorous lyrics. Founded in 1987, Dangerous Toys released four full-length albums and one live album before unofficially disbanding at the turn of the millennium. The band found mainstream success with its debut album Dangerous Toys (1989), which featured the singles "Teas'n, Pleas'n" and "Scared" and it was certified gold by the RIAA five years after its release. Their next two albums, Hellacious Acres (1991) and Pissed (1994), were not as successful as the self-titled debut, but also received acclaim. The commercial failure and poor reception of the band's fourth album The R*tist 4*merly Known as Dangerous Toys (1995) led the band to go on hiatus. Dangerous Toys resurfaced in 1999, and has since continued as mostly a live act, although they have occasionally been hinting at an upcoming fifth studio album.
