  Toadies

  Toadies’ long-awaited eighth album, The Charmer, is their most personal and visceral release to date. One of the final recordings by legendary producer Steve Albini (Nirvana, PJ Harvey), the album captures the platinum-selling Fort Worth quartet playing live together in the studio for the first time, bottling their Southern-tinged grunge with raw power and urgency.

  Formed in Fort Worth in 1989, Toadies broke through with “Possum Kingdom” and their million-selling 1994 debut Rubberneck, earning a reputation for unpredictable songwriting, heavy dynamics, and a sound that blends alt-rock intensity with the band’s roots in country, classic rock, and Texas grit. Their music has remained a cult favorite and live staple ever since, with growing crowds and celebrated anniversary tours.

  The band partnered with Austin’s Spaceflight Records to release The Charmer, embracing the label’s artist-first, nonprofit model. Written largely during the pandemic, the album dives into themes of isolation, self-reflection, and inner conflict—delivered with the same restless energy and dark edge that has defined Toadies for over three decades.
