Detailed information
Toe is currently one of four bands on the indie label Machu Picchu, which was formed by the members of Toe, along with the bands Mouse on the Keys, Enemies and Tangled Hair.
The vast majority of the band's music is instrumental in nature and is also known for its melodic, clean guitar settings. Additionally, the compositions have repetition from typical rock motifs, but use very subtle changes in beat and rhythm to form a unique sound. The band has changed their sound over their musical tenure by incorporating acoustic guitars, Rhodes piano, and vibraphones in their most recent releases.
The band tours regularly in Japan.
Their most recent studio album entitled Hear You was released in July 2015.
