Cuddly Toys are the theatrical glam-punk band evolved from the London glam shock-punk band Raped.

Often noted for their version of a Bowie/Bolan unreleased co-write, Madman, and cross-dressing in an era when it was outrageous.

Their hot-panted Japanese drummer ‘Paddy Phield’ helped gain fans in his home country.

An LP of Raped recordings was issued by US label Puke’n’Vomit in 2024.

Sadly, Singer Sean Purcell died in 1996.

Paddy continues a Japanese version of the band, Cuddly ToyZ, with an album released and regular gigs.
