The Band



Hailing from Columbus, Ohio, Toggle combines hard rock and blues with a little progressive rock and jazz to form their own original blend of rock music.

Toggle takes the progressive edge of bands like Rush, King's X and Extreme, mixes it with the melodic classic rock flavor of Queen, REO Speedwagon, and Journey, then wraps it all up in a blanket of modern rock bands like Tonic, U2, Sunny Day Real Estate, Smashing Pumpkins, Default, and Nickelback to create a unique sound that can only be described as "Toggle".
