Toads

***"TOADS have arrived with a record perfectly suited for this drowned world of pandemics, cynicism, and detachment from reality. Endtimes tunes, if you will. Eight songs, each one barely hitting the two-minute mark, sounding both blistering and dry. Some might mistakenly liken the vibe to post-punk, but TOADS’ sound is pierced through with sharp DIY sensibilities, closer to the earliest days of punk, back when people were still getting off on getting weird. TOADS’ new kind of kick is delivered by a lineup comprised of grizzled scene vets and new (to you) faces in hell: guitarist CHRIS SANTAMARIA (MIDNITE SNAXXX, LOLI & THE CHONES), drummer ANTHONY BEDARD (ICKY BOYFRIENDS, HANK IV), bassist MITCH CARDWELL, and ferromagnetic vocalist MIRANDA FISHER."—Icki, 2020
