\u2018Rebel Run\u2019, released in September 1983, was Toyah\u2019s 13th single in the UK.<\/p>\n

This was one of only two singles to be released by Toyah in 1983 and was the debut from the album \u2018Love Is The Law\u2019. It was written by Toyah and Simon Darlow and reached number 24 in the UK Top 40.<\/p>\n

\"\"Toyah made a memorable video for the single and promoted it with numerous appearances and interviews on shows including TVAM\u2019s Summer Run, Hold Tight, The Saturday Show, Saturday Superstore<\/em>, and German TV show Jugendabend<\/em>. The video was also played on Top Of The Pops – <\/em>being repeated later this month on BBC tv for the first time since the 1980’s.<\/p>\n

Toyah said of the imagery: \u201cThis is the Rebel Run look. I was into armour. A friend, Simon, made a bronze headdress based on the skeletal structure of American football players.\u201d<\/p>\n
