Toys Went Berserk was a Sydney post-punk band that formed in the late 1980s. The band consisted of talented members who had previously been in various indie bands such as Box Of Fish, Lavender Disaster, Happy Hate Me Nots, and Dusk Furrow. Toys Went Berserk was noted for their live performances. Their musical influences ranged from gothic-tinged music to pop and punk, comparable to Skeletal Family and Siouxsie and the Banshees. The end product was quite unique in the Sydney scene of the time.
They released numerous records, including 7-inches, LPs and one CD, and did tours of the United States as well as doing the obligatory interstate road trips across Australia. The band split sometime in the late 1990s. Singer Coo and guitarist moved to England for a while and started a new band called 'Feast'. In late 2003 they returned to Perth, Western Australia.
