T'aint never heard of this vintage Connecticut quartet 'til I saw this ep sitting in a rack at the nearby Record Theatre, but that didn't stop me from taking a chance on it. Toys of Destruction kicks off with the spicy enough "Society Girl," a pedestrian yet appealing there minute salvo of punked-up power pop. The ep ensues on a downward trajectory from there, with the Cartoons dipping into a ska/dub-lite motif on "Self Conscious," and finally closing things out with the rhythmically attuned, synth-enhanced title track. You have been warned.01. Society Girl
02. Middle Class
03. Self Conscious
04. Toys of Destruction

I used to own this, I was thinking of trying to track it down again (I did find one used copy, but it had call letters written all over it) but I guess I forgot that it only has one good song on it...
I'll gladly take that one good song here, and consider myself done..
I like the whole thing.
Certainly not the best thing I've ever heard but I like it.
Thanks for posting it.
I finally was able to track a vinyl copy down and I love the title song...great synth stabs throughout....thanks for posting this little gem...
