The Toads have been a crowd pleaser since they bursted onto the scene almost three years ago. First, their self-titled full length gave us a taste of their callback to 90s alternative and pop punk back in 2016. The Toads, still unsigned, have got a completely and fully supported DIY method of existing as a band that’s contributed to what’s made them such a delight so far. With Time having already been released earlier this year, band appreciators are lucky enough to get another one just as it’s coming to a close. Today, The Toads dropped "It’s for You."
Part of what makes The Toads so great is their reliability in sound. Even in welcoming new drummer Dylan Valentine to the mix The Toads haven’t stumbled or faltered, the Weezer-esque "You Don’t Deserve Me" and the raw punk feels of "Never a Good Time" for the new EP staying true to the band’s capacity.
The Toads are offering up two chances this weekend to see them perform all the songs from "It’s for You" live — at tonight’s release show at Clinton Street Theater with Cry Babe and Fire Nuns, and tomorrow night at the Turn Turn Turn for the Sounds Illustrated art opening with Piefight and Dr. Something.
Give "It’s for You" a listen below.
