I've added some references for the "Evil" era, but the article could use some support for the T.O.Y. era; then we can remove the infernal "needs references" warning. Also, does anyone have a (non-copyrighted) photo to add? Unfortunately this is one band I have never had the chance to see live. -- t_kiehne (talk) 05:18, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

T.O.Y. is an acronym that stands for Trademark of Youth.

"Volker Lutz (vocals) was no longer interested in making dark EBM, and wanted to focus only on synth-pop. But Thorsten Brenda (music) didn’t agree with that direction and ultimately pulled out. So Volker brought on Oliver Taranczewski and Cordula K. to make the music for the project. Still known as Evil’s Toy, they released an album entitled Silvertears. It was pure synth-pop" http://www.wrappedinwire.com/T/TOY.htm

TOY / T.O.Y.

Think we should remove the redirect from TOY now that the band with that name has had some (albeit minor) success. See for example number 19 on this list: http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=147&title=50_best_albums_of_2012&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 - it could cause confusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.23.54.142 (talk) 00:00, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

TOY capitalized is also the stylism used by Toy (English band). But strangely this one is stylizing as T.o.y. on its Facebook. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:25, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
