Their first recordings were released by the South Island independent record label Flying Nun Records, which these days is most remembered for releasing seminal recordings from the early 1980s Dunedin and Christchurch underground music scenes, creating a public perception of what has become known as the "Dunedin sound". However, the Netherworld Dancing Toys were a great distance removed from their Velvet Underground- and Joy Division- influenced contemporaries. If The Trusted Ones sounds like any other band, the closest match would be early Dexy's Midnight Runners. (And what is it with bands-with-horns-in having silly names?)
