Shiny Toy Guns
- Thread starter - seb
- Start date
Got the We Are Pilots album, definitely recommended.
Been listening to them for years now.
Interesting sound. I dig em. The latest CD is a good listen all the way through.

I've liked them since I first heard them in a MTB vid. Half their stuff rocks my socks but I really don't like some songs.
Overall great original sound. I believe "Starts With One" is the song in Barel's section of Earthed5 (off the top of my head, could be way off). Always loved that bit of film.
Great riding/video music, very atmospheric.

That was from NWD8 I believe.. That's what originally turned me onto Shiny Toy Guns.. Ricochet is in NWD9 for the WC section, didn't realize it was them, until I heard the song again on the CD..
"Starts with One" is also the music for the section on the Athertons in Between the Tape. Love that song, haven't checked out this band's other stuff, but I will now.
dig them too. interesting sound.
seems like Clay likes them too...a lot. past 3 dvds all had STG, from the same album even. i think some of his Yeti videos used STG also.

i hate those bastards. they have undermined my creative interests twice now. i wanted to name my band's new album "shiny new blade" (a lyric from one of the songs) and the band gave it the veto because it sounded too much like "shiny toy guns" (which others mentioned as well). i also started working on an animated video for one of our songs, and shiny toy guns put out a video that is stylisticly very close to my idea, but we are moving forward with it anyway. those bastards are just one step ahead of me. at least i know my ideas are good if someone else is using them and making money; i just need to speed up my production time and deliver the goods before those bastards pull the rug out from under me again.
...yes, i'm bitter. yes, it is silly.

Couldn't agree more. Some of their songs are catchy as hell, and some sound like they belong on an adult alternative/soft rock radio station. Saw them live in Mammoth this past March, they put on a decent show.
My friend was their manager for a while.
My friend is cool.
I still think STG suck.

and Rise Against
The Collective LOVES Rise Against. I'm pretty sure one of their movies uses two Rise Against songs, possibly back to back but I don't remember.
The Collective did (the first one).
Agreed. Ever since I heard "Don't Cry Out" in the snowboard DVD Follow Me Around. I was hooked on Shiny Toy Guns.
