Main image

Belgian poprock band who had a huge hit with [m252908] in the early 80's. Formed round Theo Van Hemelrijk and Belfast-born Harry Woods in the early 70's.
After the release of 2 singles (in 1975 & 1976) they took matters in their own hands and founded [l25921].
By 1984 Toy was bleeding to dead, so they disbanded the name and started to record as New Forces.
After a while New Forces was only a Theo Van Hemelrijk vehicle.
By the early 90's they thought it was time to reform Toy and released Brand New Toy, but this one didn't grab the attention they thought it would have.
In 1996 they tried again as T.O.Y.
