Toadcast #208 – Song, by Toad Records 2012
For this podcast I am joined by Ian, who is now a member of the Song, by Toad Records team, to go through a bit of a run-down of what’s going to be happening on the label this year.
We’ve got a couple of our more recent releases, like Rob St. John and Lil Daggers, as well as some of our confirmed and ready new albums for next year, by the likes of The Leg, Jesus H. Foxx and Yusuf Azak.
I’ve also got a couple of tracks from bands we’ll be releasing on a split 12″ in the Spring. We’ll be recording that stuff in our house next week, so the songs we chose to represent those bands are for obvious reasons not the final ones we’ll be releasing, just tracks by the bands so you can get a bit of a flavour of what we’re up to.
With Ian on board and based on the good press we managed last year I am hoping we can really kick on with the label this year and make a decent impression. Obviously the third Meursault album will help, what with them being our most established band, but we have a good spread of stuff, from bands like Dolfinz with only a few demos to their name, to the likes of Yusuf Azak and The Leg who people know already and then the Foxx album, which has been ‘much anticipated’ for a while now.
So all in all it should be an exciting year, I reckon. Enjoy!

With Ian on there you could have called it the Tadpole-cast.
Kenny King Creosote called me Song, by Tadpole by his own accord. I was aghast.
liked that…particularly that you were so rock n roll bad ass that you slept through the police raid..
good tunes
I’d forgotten about manginagate. Must now go and drink heavily until I forget about it again.
Yeah Jim, it took me ages to forget about that as well.
That Leg album is going to be great.
But why listen to me? I’m just a pop bitch.
The rozzers were actually really nice when they came round, they were just making the point that apparently your neighbourhood is a “quiet zone” between 11pm and 7am on a schoolnight – and this was a Monday after all.
Funniest bit of the story was that I was outside having a fag when the police car pulled up, and Mrs Toad picked that precise moment to pop her head out of the front door to speak to me. She didn’t have her specs on, so presumably all she could see when she looked down to the street were two dark shapes coming through the gate and looming up the stairs – so in typical Mrs. Toad defensive fashion she was all “Excuse me! Who are you! This is private property you know!”, and I just quietly said “Uh, they’re the police..”
And we all laughed.
She is blind as a fucking bat without her specs.
[...] 12″ we’ll be releasing in roughly April or May this year. I described this on the Song, by Toad Records 2012 podcast we posted on the weekend, and included songs by all but one of the bands (for the fourth, see this [...]
