Add
one
part
irreverent
punk
personality
(frontman
extraordinaire,
Mike
Wise),
one
part
maniacal
guitarist
(Todd
Sensenich),
two
parts
dream
rhythm
section
(Greg Reigle
and
Wade
Corbin)
and
what
do
you
get?
One
hell
of
a
rock
and
roll
ass-whoopin’
you
won’t
soon
forget!
Emily’s
ToyBox
cannot
(even
remotely) be
compared
to
any
other independent
band
on the east coast.
In
addition
to
a
genuinely
unique
and
powerful
stage
presence,
they
have
sold
more
CDs
and
merchandise
during
their
career
than
any
other
independent
band
in
the
extended
area.
However,
unlike
other
bands
making
similar
“claims”,
this
band
actually
has
the
tax
and
sales
records
to
prove
it.
Enjoying
an
average
of
over
1,500,000
(1.5
Million)
unique
hits
to
their
website
and
fan
club
site
each
month,
www.emilystoybox.com
and
www.etbsucks.com,
Emily’s
ToyBox
has
become
an
enterprising
business
unto
itself.
Mike
Wise,
ETB’s
lead
singer
and
chief
songwriter,
formed
the
group
seven
years
ago,
conceiving
it
as
a
pre-fab
project
that
would
only
be
around
long
enough
to
pay
off
bills
from
his
previous
band.
Formerly
a
3-piece,
ETB
went
on
to
an
illustrious
career,
quickly
working
their
way
out
of
their
day
jobs,
making
rounds
on
the
extended
Mid-Atlantic
circuits,
venturing
as
far
as
Ohio,
Vermont
and
Florida,
playing
a
thick
catalog
of
in-the-red
originals.
Averaging
18-22
shows
per
month,
the
concepts
of
hard
work
and
dedication
have
never
been
lacking
from
the
Emily’s
ToyBox
psyche.
In
2001,
Emily’s
ToyBox
underwent
an
evolution
of
sorts
that
morphed
an
already
powerful
regional
act
into
something
unbelievably
bigger
and
better.
As
a
four-piece
band,
Wise
gained
freedom
to
roam
the
stage
and
audience
at
will,
inciting
a
kind
of
enthusiasm
not
far
from
mania
that
leaves
the
fans
drenched,
exhausted
and
always
coming
back
for
more.
"We’re
different,”
says
Wise.
“Many
bands
have
said,
‘Well,
my
band’s
different.’
We’re
one
of
the
few
bands
who
really
ARE
different.”
“The
four
of
us
are
naturally
goofballs,
but
we
honestly
respect
one
another
as
musicians
and
people.
We
also
don’t
‘try’
to
do
or
be
anything
other
than
ourselves.
Our
personality
comes
out
onstage
and
in
our
songs.”
Recording has already begun for Emily's ToyBox 8th CD, "Pill", which
is expected for release by Summer 2005. Fan club members at
www.etbsucks.com
will automatically receive a FREE copy of "Pill" before it released
to the public... Just one of many privileges bestowed upon the
band's most faithful and loyal fans.
Emily’s
ToyBox
is
of
the
rarest
breed,
continually
breaking
new
ground
as
an
entrepreneurial
entity
on
the
independent
music
scene.
With
undeniable
originality,
talent
and
work
ethic,
there
are
no
limits
to
what
they
will
create
and
accomplish
in
years
to
come.
