All That Is Not of Me

Get Out Your Head

'Nationalsville' is the first single taken from The Toads' debut album 'In The Wilderness' out June 9th!

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. Here’s the full video (filmed and edited by Leland Buckle): https://youtu.be/IxH56GWWLps

‘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: https://upsettherhythm.bigcartel.com/

Nostalgia's Glass

I Thought I Understood

“It’s the kind of tune that actually gives you heartache" Jess Iszatt - BBC Radio 1 

This song came out of a phone call with an ex after we’d split up when I realised for the first time it was really over. It’s about discovering that someone you once knew so well has grown and changed without you. The fact that you can speak to someone every day and then suddenly know nothing about their life seems so strange to me but this song is about accepting that.
