Their song “J Cash” is a perfect example of the genres that they mesh together into their unique sound. The song is about being “fameless” in the basement, aspiring towards what every artist narcissistically wants — to be famous. “Quit Quitting,” with a catchy dreamy feel, leads with, “What if I quit, What if I quit quitting? If I did, Would you, give it a rest? What if my mind keeps ticking even when I’m in bed, and if I try to calm down, putting songs inside my head.”
It’s obvious that Not A Toy does not intend to “quit quitting” anytime soon.
The band met collectively in high school and previously went under the name Shatterproof, but that was a different band with a different sound. Their sound has been influenced by Warped Tour genre bands, and artists that are creative and try to push music as an art form, such as Kanye and his “outside of the box” no-rules mentality.
