I first heard Bag of Toys on the now ever so popular Myspace. Right away I loved their music. Their laid back attitude and surf influenced sound is great. The cd is mellow and would be a perfect soundtrack for going surfing, hanging out by the pool, or driving around the coast. I recommend this band to anyone who like Jack Johnson, Sublime, Ben Harper, G. Love or any other music of that style. Can't wait for another release.

I'm a big Jack Johnson and Sublime fan, and have been hearing about "The Bag" for a while now. Since picking up the disc, it has become my favorite. Surf music that never gets old. Probably the best surf lyrics to come out in a long time. I wake surf and sky ski, and this disc never comes out of the boat stereo. Buy it.

Looking back, 5 years ago when my buddy brought this CD back from his trip to the WC i had no idea. With MP3's and digital media these days, you almost forget what it means to have a great CD. As much as i enjoy the digital copy of Nooner.....I love dropping in "Nooner" for a ride down to the Keys. This is what debut albums are supposed to be!

This music puts you on the beach, sunset, cold brew, beach fire pit, and just enjoying the waves rolling in and good friends. As others have opined on Bag Of Toys reviews, their music evokes the sounds of Jack Johnson and other acoustic surf rock bands. The lyrics are edgy at times and pack a punch other times, but all them time pull you into the spirit of the beach. These guys are great. Buy the music and enjoy.

If you are a fan of Jack Johnson, Sublime, Slightly Stoopid, Pepper, or anyone else along those lines, Bag of Toys is another band you'll be adding to that list. I discovered the band through a friend of mine and bought Nooner the very next day. Their laid-back acoustic sound and rich (and often relatable) lyrics make their music perfect for a nice relaxing listen, be it by yourself or with some friends. Their sophomore album Afternooner delivers the same great tunes; I highly recommend both of their albums to any fan of the acoustic surf-rock genre.
