Lil Daggers – King Corpse
“Mrs. Toad Approved” is not an official sub-division of Song, by Toad Records just yet, but the way she’s going it might just end up being one.
This is the video for King Corpse, the title track from Miami band Lil Daggers’ EP, which is out on Song, by Toad Records on the 27th June 2011 and can be pre-ordered here.
One of the chief reasons we are able to release this really rather fantastic record over here is because it is, in fact, approved by Mrs. Toad. We listened to this again and again over Christmas, and I mentioned that Lil Daggers had asked if we would be interested in releasing their stuff over here. I had my doubts about it, not because I didn’t love the band, but because I was nervous about making commitments we couldn’t afford to fulfill. We only have so much money, basically, and vinyl is expensive to make.
This is where the ‘approved’ bit comes in. Basically she said ‘fuck it, this is awesome, we have to release this and I’ll pay for it if need be’. And so here we are.
My kids were desperate to find out whether the kid in the hoodie was a girl or a boy. My 10-year-old’s verdict? “Uhh….weird.”
So it seems that Lil Daggers has parted ways with Livid Records and will be self-releasing their debut full length. It’s out on iTunes now:

Yeah, that whole situation is kind of awkward. I suppose strictly speaking it’s none of my business, and god knows what the actual details are, but I would really rather have avoided this kind of thing. Ah well though, these things happen I suppose.
Just got my copy this morning, cheers mate!
ps is there no mp3 download with the vinyl?
Oh cock, I forgot to include the bloody download codes. What a prannet. I will email you.
