Toys That Kill formed in San Pedro, CA from a previous incarnation known as F.Y.P (1989-1999). Just after the release of their last album entitled, strangely enough, Toys That Kill, Todd C., SEAN C. and some new guys (Chachi and Jimmy) started the new band. Although the music varies greatly from F.Y.P to Toys That Kill both bands have been influential in the DIY punk scene since the late 80's.
