Shiny Toy Guns is a New Wave-inspired band, using its love of the '80s
to create catchy synth-driven Pop-Rock sound. Founded in 2002 and headquartered
in Los Angeles, California USA, the group comprised singer Carah Faye
Charnow, vocalist + guitarist Chad Petree, synths + bass player Jeremy
Dawson and drummer Mikey Martin.
The quartet first gained major label attention through the popular site
MySpace and their independent debut album, "We Are Pilots",
originally recorded in 2005, was repackaged and finally issued by Universal
in October 2006. It debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart
and peaked at #90 on The Billboard 200 Albums list producing three Hot
Modern Rock top 30 hits, "Le Disko", "You Are The One"
and "Rainy Monday".
Shiny Toy Guns' sophomore effort, "Season Of Poison", marked
the band's evolution after their vocalist Carah Faye Charnow left the
band, to be replaced by Sisley Treasure; the first single off of the CD,
"Ricochet", a heavy rhythmic guitar laden song, quickly bulleted
into the top 20 of The Hot Modern Rock chart while the album debuted at
#47 on The Billboard 200 upon its November 2008 release.
