The collective theme of the songs is self questioning; looking inward on how far we&#8217;ve come in our self growth.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not A Toy can&#8217;t be classified as simply a band. Rather, they are a collective of four creatives \u2014 Branson Hoog (lead vocals), Jeremy Marmor (guitar), Benji Spoliansky (drums), and TJ Wessel (violin, keys). &#8220;Not A Toy is not just a band; it&#8217;s a lifestyle of art and creation,&#8221; says Hoog. &#8220;We&#8217;re not the first to combine different genres of music, but we&#8217;re also blending other artforms \u2014 from streetwear to art shows. We&#8217;re a snapshot of this generation&#8217;s tattooed youth and bedroom beatmakers. We&#8217;re just creating, and there are no rules to creation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The members of this collective met in high school and cut their teeth in various projects together before launching Not A Toy in 2020. Operating out of a shared house in Denver, the group&#8217;s synergy results from the sum of its parts. Classically trained and on the violin from a young age, Wessel plays a slew of other instruments, adding a variety of textures and production to the sound. Marmor not only rips on guitar, but he also &#8220;makes trap beats so quickly it&#8217;s ridiculous,&#8221; while Spoliansky holds down the groove as the drummer and acts as an &#8220;overarching producer.&#8221; Meanwhile, Hoog writes the majority of the lyrics and plays guitar and piano. Based on a background in graphic design and painting, he &#8220;brings the art to the project.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not A Toy&#8217;s self-titled EP will be released on Friday August 7 through Fearless Records\/Caroline Australia, with new single &#8220;Antidote&#8221; available now to stream and purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"426\" src=\"http:\/\/mag.atomicmusic.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Shop-1024x426.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/radio.atomicmusic.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Shop-1024x426.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/radio.atomicmusic.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Shop-600x249.jpg 600w, https:\/\/radio.atomicmusic.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Shop-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/radio.atomicmusic.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Shop-768x319.jpg 768w, https:\/\/radio.atomicmusic.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Shop.jpg 1145w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Fearless Records signing Not A Toy have shared the video for the dreamy and sonically intoxicating jam &#8220;Antidote&#8221;, watch + listen here. &#8220;&#8216;Antidote&#8217; is about loving someone that is bad for you, or knowing that you are bad for someone,&#8221; the band shares.
