Toads have no teeth so have to swallow their prey alive and in one gulp, they can’t hop or ribbit like frogs and they have been known to fall from the sky like rain when “weather gets weird!”
The Toads however are an extra-ace band from Melbourne who Upset The Rhythm are working with on their debut album ‘In The Wilderness’. Navigating the dross of modern life, whilst keeping one foot in a dream is the key to their nervy post-punk scuffle. Featuring members of The Shifters, The Living Eyes and Parsnip you’d be forgiven for guessing what The Toads sound like, but their mordant step and minor-key enchantment makes for an intriguing parry.
Today we’re releasing the group’s rapid first single ‘Nationalsville’, a rollicking toe-tapper of jaunty riffage, sprightly bass bounce and drums that get the blood pumping. Singer Miles' relentless observations spool through the song stitching together a glammy rush of monotony.
‘In the Wilderness’ will be released on June 9th through Upset The Rhythm, in partnership with our friends at Anti Fade Records. A limited edition sky-blue LP is available pre-order with glee here now!
