When Fat Bob’s Feet was released by Receiver Records in 1991, it found Sunderland’s cheeky punk act Toy Dolls welcoming bassist John Casey into the fold, the latest in a long line joining founding frontman Olga and drummer Martin Yule, who’d been present since Bare Faced Cheek; the favourites here include ‘The Sphinx Stinks,’ ‘Bitten By A Bed Bug’ and the immortal ‘Kids In Tyne & Wear,’ a northeast England punk recasting of Kim Wilde’s ‘Kids In America,’ plus there’s a guest appearance by Ashbrooke, Olga’s dog, and, unusually for the band, no sign of any symphonic interludes. A much-loved Toy Dolls classic!
