NOT A TOY is both dark-pop band and family-like collective. Born and raised in Colorado, Branson Hoog [vocals], Benji Spoliansky [drums], Jeremy Marmor [guitar], and TJ Wessell [keys, bass] all contribute to the group’s lyrics, production, instrumentation, and visual elements. Best friends since high school, they cut their teeth in the punk and emo scene playing gigs across the map.
